Well, good news girls! I just got done dyeing my hair blonde from a box... AND IT WORKED! I was sooo nervous seeing as how so many people said they had bad experiences but I had to check for myself. I know I can't afford to really go to a salon to get my hair done.. I know I used to go to a nice salon and get my entire head done and it was normally over 200.00 and I just can't afford that!
I am a natural blonde. I was a bright blonde with many different colors of blonde in my hair. But, of course as I got older decided I wanted to be a brunette.. so the first time I got it done by my hair stylist and then decided to do it on my own through box dye. I never had any issues, I actually used a blonde dye (2 boxes) on my brown hair and it didn't do anything but it also didn't turn me orange or anything. Then I finally went back to blonde (whole different story). But my color has faded over the year and I wanted to just go a little brighter and happier blonde I guess, I felt after all that brunette my blonde had darkened and I was bored so out to walmart I went and bought a box of blonde dye!!!
I used Garnier Frutis (however you spell it). It was only maybe a shade or two lighter/brighter than what I had in my hair or my natural color I suppose. I followed the directions and mixed it. Then into my hair it went... I didn't use the entire bottle. I had some left and my hair is a little past my shoulders. I left it on for about 30 min, I wanted to make sure it had time to soak in and suggested time is 25-30 min. My hair was saturated but not soaking or dripping. I washed it out and then left the conditioner in for maybe 3-5 min even though they say you only need 2-3 min. I towel dried for a few min and then blow dried because I was so anxious to make sure I wasn't coppery, orange, green, or any other funky colors. To me, I didn't notice really any change. The color my hair was, was a dirty/dark blonde I guess. My parents do see the difference though so I'm assuming it is just the lighting and the fact that (of course) it doesn't look exactly like the box. BUT low and behold I did go into different lighting and see that IT IS lighter. My parents say it's pretty close to the box color and best of all not any funky colors!!!! My mom says it looks very natural which is an even better thing. So... lucky for me I didn't have a horrible or trumatic experience and will most likely stick with Garnier for my future hair colors. I wish you the best of luck in ALL of your hair coloring adventures and hope this helps some of you all! :)
