Putting ash blonde on dark brown hair? (With or without bleach)

Putting your hair from dark brown to ash blonde, you’ll need to bleach and dye it as much as necessary. This will be a major commitment but it will last much longer than if you went with the standard blonde.

Although it’s not technically possible to do this, I want to tell you how. There are definitely ways that can minimize damage, so make sure you think about every step that you take. However, there is always a risk of hair damage with any sort of such experiments.

Blondes are one of the most popular colors among women, including in beauty salons.

In order to change the color of a person’s hair from dark to light, it is not easy, but it can be done.

Blonding is a bit tricky when it comes to hair coloring. It contains bleaching & coloring with intermediate hues to avoid damaging your hair too much.

If you’re thinking about going from dark brown to ash blonde, let me share some tips. You can make your hair look perfect in no time and without a ton of effort!

We’ll divide the process into two parts.

  • In the first half of the process, we will get to an intermediate color: a light brown ash.
  • In the second half, we’ll get to the long-awaited ash blonde shade

Let’s get started!

HOW CAN YOU EVALUATE IF YOUR HAIR CAN WITHSTAND THE COLOR CHANGE?

At the beginning of this article, I told you to get to a medium blonde tone from a dark brown tone, you will need to bleach your hair.

You need to know that bleaching damages the hair fiber.

Ash blonde hair is a new trend- and finding out your hair health before you dye it can help you decide if this is the right hue for you.

Do you think your hair will hold up to bleaching? How can you tell without testing it first?

I’d like to evaluate your hair:

  • Can your hair comb easily?
  • Do your hair feel soft and shiny?
  • Do your ends feel brittle?
  • Are you experiencing a-lot of hair loss?

If you answered YES to all the questions above, I would recommend that, before thinking if a color change is right for your hair type, you should moisturize your hair & repair it.

Using moisturizing masks and repairing oils 3 times a week can be beneficial for your hair. This way, your hair will be protected against bleaching.

If you answered NO to all of the above questions, you can do a color change. Your hair is healthy and has enough resilience to avoid any adverse effects of dying it.

Once your colors are chosen, you can start planning the process for your hair.

Why do I say “plan”?

It’s not realistic to transform from dark brown to blonde hair in a day.

You will need to have two bleaching sessions in order to arrive at the best tone for applying the ash-blonde hair dye, but that’s OK! It’ll all work out.

I recommend that you allow at least 15 days between bleaching sessions to prevent any further damage. Your hair needs to rest from the bleaching chemicals.

Assuming your stylist can handle the task of making this change, it should take no more than 7 weeks to make this change to your hair.

You can expect to create a fresh look with an even beautiful hair color, and then moisturize your tresses to prepare for the next process.

If you want healthy, vibrant ash-blond hair that lasts for a long time, you need to plan. It may sound obvious, but it’s important to develop and implement a game plan from the start with these sorts of process changes

FIRST STEP: DARK BROWN TO LIGHT ASH BROWN

To remove dark brown 3, you will need to use bleach on your hair.

What do you need?

  • Bleaching powder
  • Peroxide or 30 volume crème developer
  • Coconut oil
  • Light brown ash dye 6.1

Once you have all of these things, it’s time to start bleaching your hair!

  • Comb your hair, so there are no knots
  • In a plastic container, you’ll need to mix the 30 volume peroxide, bleach powder, and a few drops of coconut oil.
  • Apply the bleach mixture to your hair, starting from the lengths to the ends.
  • After 10 minutes, put the rest of the mixture to the growth.
  • DON’T APPLY IT ON THE ROOTS
  • After 20 minutes, you should rinse the mixture out of your hair. A good shampoo and conditioner will allow it to wash out all the magic juice left inside your hair.

Now, there is no more dark brown 3 left in your hair.

Why did you include light brown ash 6.1 as one of the elements?

The shade of your hair will be between dark brown 3 and ash-blonde 8.1. Sometimes you get an unexpected shade when your hair bleaches.

It can turn orange or red, depending on what shade it is being discolored.

When you finish bleaching your hair, it will be lighter and more orange.

After bleaching, all dark colors will leave your hair an orange or red shade.

  • Black will leave more redder shades on your hair.
  • Brown leave more orange shades than red.

That’s why you need to tone down your tones & achieve a calming, even tone.

This time around, it’ll be light brown ash 6.1

This dye will give your hair a beautiful color that’s even and leave it ready for the next dye.

How do you apply it to your hair?

  • Once the mixture has completely been washed out from your hair, use a hairdryer to continue the job.
  • Apply light brown ash 6.1 to your hair
  • Even though the instructions are usually clear, it’s important to follow them so that you don’t damage your hair.
  • Rinse your hair and dry it after the exposure time is over.

You will notice a big change between the hue of your hair when you first bleach it. After bleaching, it will lighten up considerably. This dark difference is similar to the brown ash dye 6.1

You will only have to wait a little while before your hair bleaches again 2-3 weeks. All you need to do is re-apply the 8.1 Ash Blonde dye at your next salon visit.
