Ever tried to go from jet black to light brown—without bleach—only to end up with patchy, brassy hair? Been there! Here’s how I finally nailed it (and kept my hair healthy): 💡 Choose a dye labeled “lightens dark hair”—not all browns are created equal! Check those before/after pics on the box for real results. 📌 Prep like a pro: Wash your hair 24 hours before, skip conditioner, and protect your skin with petroleum jelly. Trust me, brown-stained ears are not a vibe. ✅ Apply dye in tiny sections for even color. I always use a brush and work slowly—rushing leads to streaks! ⚠️ Don’t leave dye on too long hoping for lighter results. Follow the box time, or risk dry, damaged hair.
