re: dark haired ladies - hair dye question!!

If you have dark hair and your trying to go light at home use a blonde dye. I don't really have a favorite type of dye but i do my hair a lot. Lots of different colors.

BUT not without damage.. I have to spend big bucks on Chi silk reconstructing serum to keep from having fried LOOKING hair.. my hair is fried.

But like someone else said go with a cinnamon color highlighting kit look up lots of reviews for a specific color and brand have a friend help and always keep in mind - hair grows.

Also I got my hair colored at the hair cuttery for $50 plus $10 for a deep conditioning I elected to get
As far as I know you don't have to bleach your hair to go lighter - depending on what you color it with it with the dye could lift some color
If nothing else they didn't charge me for a consultation just the treatments

The beauty school I went to costs $20 for color and you're guaranteed to get as close as possible to your desired results. That included the shampoo and style too... just saying. You could fry your hair OFF if its already damaged and you're trying to go lighter with bleach and/or box color.
