Scared to Go Lighter? Here’s How I Safely Dyed My Dark Hair Blonde!

Ever tried to go from dark hair to a lighter shade and ended up with orange streaks or fried ends? 🙋‍♀️ Been there! Here’s what I wish I knew before my first bleach adventure: 💡 Prep is everything! Don’t wash your hair for 2-3 days before bleaching—your natural oils are your scalp’s best shield. I also swear by a couple of deep-conditioning masks the week before (think shea butter or argan oil). ⚠️ Choose your bleach wisely. If your hair is super dark, go for a vol 30 developer—but never vol 40 (trust me, it’s way too harsh for DIY). Section your hair into four, work fast, and always check your progress every 10 minutes. ✅ After rinsing out the bleach, apply your dye to damp hair for even color. Rinse with cool water, and use the included conditioner (or your fave deep mask) to lock in shine. 📌 Keep your new color fresh by washing less, using sulfate-free products, and a purple shampoo if brassiness creeps in.
