This Fall I went to a red color, which I looooved, and then to my standby dark brown a couple of months ago.įrom the left: my beloved platinum blonde, the red I went to this Fall, and my most recent dark brown. (My first time found me with green, then purple hair, all of which broke off and left me with a very, very unflattering, unintentional pixie cut.) Since then, I've gotten better at doing my hair myself. I have gotten the itch to go darker, usually in Fall. My hair hasn't been it's natural dirty blonde since. For nearly a decade, I've been bleaching my hair to that gorgeous platinum color that she pulls off without looking like a stripper. You might recall from a previous post that my style icon is Gwen Stefani. Would my hair turn orange? Would it simply lighten? After a bunch of research, I decided to jump in, and I'm really pleased with the results.

It's a bleached out blonde, and I'm not really expecting a product to remove months of color to get me back to that color. The catch: my hair underneath the dark brown dye is not virgin (heh heh). My goal was to lighten my dyed dark brown hair and get to a light brown so I could put some blonde highlights in and journey back to a blonde. I read a lot of successful reviews online and decided to give it a shot myself. I recently came across a product called Color Oops Hair Color Remover which is supposed to remove dyed pigment from your hair without damaging it.
