Basically....yes.

If your hair is very dark then there is no other way except to bleach it.

There are some hair dyes that contain bleach in them as well as color so you don't end up with some crazy orange result. Some dies will lighten your color nicely, but it won't be blond.

If you have light brown hair and have never dyed it before, find the lightest blond hair dye and try that--it should lighten your color to at least a dirty blond.

How to get golden brown hair?

after u bleach your hair, use an "ash blond" dye like "lightest ash blond". the ash is the main important ingredient that gets rid of all the oranginess and redness of the bleach! or you can use a product called shimmer lights by clairol and it gradually takes out the orangy-ness


Can 2 people with hazel eyes brown hair have a blonde hair blue eyed baby?

Yes, as eye color includes family history too, though your method may work coincidentally or instead of what I said! Yes they can.. Both my parents have black hair and dark brown eyes.. and i have light blonde hair and blue eyes..!! I mean... yes. My parents have green eyes, and blonde hair, yet I have DARK, DARK brown hair and grey eyes! Pretty sure, my mum has red hair with brown eyes, dad green eyes with brown hair. I however have blonde hair and grey eyes!! And my siblings all vary too. My parents have brown eyes and black hair while I have green eyes and blonde hair, although I have eight siblings all with black hair and brown eyes so it's not really common.


What does brown and blonde make?

Well I'm assuming you are taking about if a blonde haired person and a brown haired person have a child..? okay well, the blonde haired gene is a recessive gene, and the brown haired gene is dominant....A recessive gene means that it i not as strong as a dominant gene, and a person needs to have 2 of those recessive genes for that trait to show. So, we know that a blonde haired person must have 2 blonde recessive genes, so that person will have to give the child a blonde gene.....but the other brown haired person, could have two different genetic makeup for this particular gene....they could either have 2 dominant brown haired genes, or a brown haired gene, and a blonde haired gene.....this is possible, because even though they have a blonde hair gene, they have a dominant brown hair gene, so that is the gene that you see.....hope this was your question, and if so, I hope this helps :)


How do you color your hair blonde if it is already colored brown?

I would suggest that the next time you go to a salon, ask the stylist to pull out the color swatches, which are often broken down by color. Have him or her compare your natural color to the swatches. Explain to them that you were wondering whether your hair would be considered blonde or brown. Other than that, you might try comparing your hair color to some of the home coloring kits found at your local drug store. Have a friend go with you to make the job easier. Blonde ranges from practically white to Caramel colored. Brown hair has more Red pigment while blonde hair will have more yellow.

No it will not lighten. You will need to prelighten (bleach) your hair if you want it to be lighter.


Can bleach lighten your dark brown hair but not make it white?

You can make dark brown hair lighter brown but it's not done just with bleach. The color tech (dark brown hair really needs to be colored professionally because it is hard to do) will mix hair color with bleach and, possibly, use a hair dryer to speed up the process._____________-When I'm lightening dark brown hair on a client and depending on how blonde she wants to be, I'll use bleach and then a toner. It's very easy to control the hair and not bring it to a white color, unless this is what the client desires.


Do you need to bleach blonde hair?

I suggest lightening the tone of your blonde hair with lemon juice, if it's a darker blonde. Bleach is a very strong product on your hair and damages it completely, or can make your hair fall out. I would not use it if I can lighten it with lemon juice or dye it to the blonde you want.

If a child has blonde hair and both the parents have brown hair what does that tell you about the allele for blonde hair?

It tells you that even though the parents have brown hair, they have a recessive allele for blonde hair also. And even though brown is suppose to be visually dominant, it is not the case at all. Two brown heads can make a blonde or brown, and of course even red haired child. Another way to look at it may be the parents have the following alleles for hair color: (b,b) - (b,b) in which case the dominant allele is Blonde or Brown.
