Hey everyone, I'm planning on changing from a dark blonde/light brown to a golden blonde (first time dying my hair).
I'm hoping to do this myself and so I'v been looking for the right hair dye.
1) Any suggestions for the dye itself? And
2) And advice for dyed-hair care?
Thanks in advance!

Dying blonde - Hair care advice, please!

I prefer to get a professional to dye my hair rather than doing it myself. I particularly find the bleach they use more effective.
For maintaining it, lots of purple shampoo and products to keep your hair hydrated, smooth and healthy. Dyed hair can get quite dry and brittle if you don't look after it.
Best of luck :)

I went from black/dark brown to blonde so I could have my colored hair, I used Manic Panic's bleach to do so, I used the 30vol kit and it was perfect. At $25 a box its expensive yes but I found it was the only bleach that didn't burn, hurt, and my hair had little to no damage.
You could always get a box of bleach and mix with shampoo - a "bleach bath" if you will - and use it to lighten your hair, that way you're still getting an all over coloring but it won't be nearly as harsh and you don't have to have it in for very long! I usually do this after I've done a full bleach to try and get rid of any remaining color.
As for aftercare, invest in some Argan Oil (I love the one from Argania) and use in damp hair after bleaching. I'd also suggest a coconut oil mask before or after using bleach just to help your hair get back to normal :-) Otherwise, I have no other advice, so I hope it goes well!

@ crystal: What do you mean by purple shampoo and conditioner? Are the hair dye-specific shampoos usually in a purple bottle?
Yeah I think I'll start comparing prices for salons as a back up plan too.
@ shaz: that sounds like an awesome idea! My hair isn't usually too fussy with shampoo and conditioner, but might be a whole different story for dye.

i went ombre this time last year and these products were life for those few months:
- Lush Marilyn treatment
- Lush Daddy-O shampoo
- John Frieda Colour renew Tone refresh conditioner (there is also a shampoo but i didnt' use it)
Can't link to the Lush ones, I asked for them to be added ages ago so hopefully they're on the way! xx

What I do suggested especially with going lighter is you do use a salon, because if it goes wrong you will have the help there to fix it rather than you scheduling an emergency trip, and more importantly as a consumer they will need to fix it.
I would also suggest a treatment at the same time like olaplex. See a previous superhero review here.
The salon will also be able to advise on when is appropriate for the first wash/condition after completion of the new do. You may wish to get some dry shampoo to hold off between washes if you haven't used before have a look at some options here.
A hairdress should guide you through appropriateness of how far you want to go blonde and if you want to include highlights on top of the major colour change, and upkeep requirements on how long you can leave it before you need to be back to do roots.

I dyed mine from dark to blonde years ago and I recall it took some work ( a hairdresser did it) and expense. Continually trying to remove the yellowing was the hardest part, and keeping it from drying out like straw. I gave up and went back dark again ( More because I didn't look as much like Princess Diana as I'd hoped). Turns out I only had to wait a few years and nature whitened it for me!!!
