Hm, it might just be easier to go to the salon, especially if you've never done it yourself, and if your hair is longer now. How long is it now? Because that's a big thing. Also, the darker your hair the longer you have to leave the bleach in. I've been bleaching and dying my hair--mostly in strips-- since I was 11 (I'm 24 now) and I have super dark hair, nearly black but not quite. I tried to bleach my whole mop when it was down past my shoulders once and the one bleach kit I bought only lightened it to a weird darker orange/lighter brown color and it was blotchy, there were still chunks of dark brown all over the place! I needed at least two more bleach kits before it got blonde, so it cost me more than I first anticipated. And it was a pain!! It stinks, it burns a little and because my hair is so dark I have to keep it on for the max it says to keep on the instructions. Phew, let me tell ya, its not fun walking around with a plastic bag on your head that's emitting toxic fumes. And doing it too much can really dry out and damage your hair. gonk I'm all for changing up hairstyles but I don't want to have to apply more chemical to my hair just to downgrade the damage from the other chemicals, know what I mean? 3nodding
So, you'd really want to try and get it lightened to your liking on the first attempt and not have to subject your lovely hair to any more abuse. So I'd suggest cutting it shorter before doing it yourself or dishing out the cash for professionals to do it. They do, after all, have a better view of the back of your head which is a huge frustration to reach! 4laugh
