I would suggest just buying a bleaching kit from the drug store. Peroxide based solutions create an orangey color that looks like old 70s shag carpeting both in texture and color!

Be sure to super condition, too, whatever you choose, lest you risk your hair snapping off in little brittle bits!

Peroxide will turn you hair red. If you want to go to a nutral shade of blond before adding blue into it it must be almost white. If you add blue to yellow you yellow you get green. the pink woul be pinkest if you bleach to pale yellow too. When bleaching do not try to save money. The damage that doing things cheaply and in a hurry will only make you pay more in the end with conditioners and nightmares. I suggest a salon treatment.

What is a cheap way to bleach dark hair?

Unfortunately, cheap ways of bleaching your hair end up looking very cheap- I tried adding DIY highlights several times when I was younger, and they were always a fiasco. you either burn the hair, or they turn brassy or nasty poo-like green. I also had reddish high lights at one point.Let me tell you, any hint of red has the potential to turn into disgusting orange.

If I were you, I'd go to a hair place. If you really can't afford it, my advice is not to bleach your hair at home, because it's really easy to mess it up. Go with temporary hair color- it's cheaper, easier to fix if you mess it up, and it comes in the wildest colors.

To be honest.....

I would have a professional do it. Because they know what is right for your hair. Besides in the end, if you decide to DIY, you would spend as much money trying to fix it as you would if you went to a professional in the first place.

Over the counter hair colors and bleach are much more harsh because they are designed for a wide spectrum of hair types... and the main goal of the product is to give results.

By using an OTC bleach you could end up chemically burning your scalp.

Also to achieve a great looking final result you would have to use twice as many products (which is not good for your scalp and hair).

For example...

Bleaching dark hair (products needed):

De-colorant (to remove old hair color)

Bleach (powder combo): Keep in mind how you apply it.. you want evenness.

Toner (especially for dark hair)- To remove brassiness and allow hair color to be more true.

...also in after doing all this to your hair....

you might want to wait a few days for your hair and scalp to develop it's natural oil. So the color will take.

Just go to a professional. That is their specialty... and they will make sure your hair stays in your head and you have a nice result.
