Congratulations on deciding to change the color of your hair.<\/p>\n
If you have dark brown hair, dyeing it ash blonde is a difficult decision. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n So, since you have made the difficult decision, I congratulate you.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I spent a long time going around in circles about dying my hair ashy blonde until I finally brought myself to do it. <\/span>\n I didn\u2019t bring myself to change my hair color for two reasons.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n First, I was scared that I was going to choose the wrong color.<\/p>\n And second, I was scared that the coloring process would ruin my hair.<\/p>\n That\u2019s why I put off the idea of dyeing my hair for years.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n While all of my friends experimented with new colors in their hair, I maintained my natural dark brown hair.<\/p>\n My friend, Raquel, changed her hair more times than she had a new boyfriend. She went through the classic colors, like blonde and more extravagant colors like blues and pinks.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Until one day, I finally made the decision.<\/p>\n It was as difficult as choosing my major.<\/p>\n Do you remember when you finished school and you had to decide what to do in your life?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Well, that\u2019s how difficult the decision to change my hair color was for me.<\/p>\n But also, I knew that it was something that I wanted to do.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Like I said to you before, dyeing your hair ashy blonde from a dark brown is a complex process. <\/span>\n If you are anxious, I\u2019ll sum up the steps for you.<\/p>\n After, we\u2019ll go into each one in more detail.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n It seems simple, right?<\/p>\n Well it isn\u2019t!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Don\u2019t think for an instant that the millions of photos that they show you on Instagram of the before and after can be achieved in a minute, or on the same level.<\/p>\n That is definitely a lie.<\/p>\n These changes don\u2019t happen from one day to the next.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It also isn\u2019t true that there is a healthy way to go from brown to blonde. Your hair will lose some of its healthiness. It\u2019s inevitable. <\/span>\n And lastly, the truth is that blondes can have more fun, but brunettes spend a lot less time in the salon and spend a lot less money on hair products.<\/p>\n Even so, now, I\u2019m an ashy blonde, and I\u2019m very happy with my decision.<\/p>\n That\u2019s why, if you are bored with your dark brown hair and you need to find your true you, today I will tell you how I took my hair from brown to blonde.<\/p>\n But, nothing in life is free. You should be patient and consistent. Because if you want to do the least damage possible to your hair during the transformation, you should realize that it\u2019s a long, tiring and expensive process.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I know. You are thinking that Kim Kardashian did it. Of course, but she has millions of dollars in her bank account and you and I don\u2019t. <\/span>\n Also, she contracted one of the best stylists and you and I will do the transformation in the bathroom of our homes.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n So please. Let\u2019s avoid the obvious and assume the commitment.<\/p>\n To go from dark brown to blonde, there is one path: patience.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n This is very important.<\/p>\n I repeat. VERY IMPORTANT!<\/p>\n The more you prepare your hair for the transformation to ashy blonde, the less damage you will have.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n For this, you simply should:<\/p>\n Let\u2019s go girl! You have an imagination. Use it! Improvise with different hairstyles, apply accessories in your hair, use hats, anything that comes to mind.<\/p>\n But never the flat iron. If women in prehistoric times survived dinosaurs, you will survive forgetting about the flat iron for some time<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It isn\u2019t necessary to spend a fortune on commercial masks. You can use olive oil<\/a>. Yes, the same thing that you mother uses to season salads.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This is vital. The night before starting the process to get to blonde, apply a generous amount of coconut oil over your whole head.<\/p>\n This will form a protective barrier against the chemical products of the bleaching.<\/p>\n You can sleep with the oil on your head<\/a>, wrapping your hair in a shower cap.<\/p>\n And of course, don\u2019t even think of rinsing it out.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Locked in my bathroom with all the elements to start with the first stage of the transformation to ashy blonde, a few doubts came to mind.<\/p>\n Had I made the right decision?<\/p>\n And if my hair fell out?<\/p>\n And if I turned into a horrifying, ugly monster?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I took my last selfie with dark brown hair. I took a sip of my chamomile tea to calm myself, and I started. <\/span>\n And I remembered a quote that I had heard I don\u2019t remember where, \u201cPeople\u2019s eyes are naturally attracted to light and naturally unattracted to the dark.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Alright, you got me. I came up with it. But everything goes to get up the conviction to become Daenerys Targaryen, the blonde from Game of Thrones.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n For this first part, I prepared:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Preparation:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Application:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n I recommend that you divide it into two parts: the upper and lower parts.<\/p>\n Once the entire lower part was covered, I wrapped my hair and waited twenty minutes.<\/p>\n When it started to look orange, I jumped into the shower and abundantly rinsed. I used a sulfate-free shampoo and a conditioner that was full of proteins.<\/p>\n When I looked in the mirror, I understood that I was going to need a liter of chamomile tea.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n My hair looked completely orange. And even though I knew this was going to happen, I couldn\u2019t stop the tears in my eyes. <\/span>\n But after, I remembered. This was the first step to get to ashy blonde.<\/p>\n But I could still transform that orange into a color that wouldn\u2019t be as noticeable.<\/p>\n I ran to wash my hair with a blue shampoo. Which, of course, I had bought previously.<\/p>\n Blue is the opposite of orange on the color wheel, so, it cancels out the strong tones of orange, softening them.<\/p>\n Now, for two weeks, this would be my best friend.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Because I still needed to do the second stage of the bleaching<\/a> to get to ashy blonde.<\/p>\n I told you that you needed to be patient and consistent, but I assure you it\u2019s worth it.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Do you want me to tell you the truth?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Those fifteen days were a living hell.<\/p>\n But what helped me get over it was that I had my goal in mind: being ashy blonde.<\/p>\n I had to put up with even my boyfriend calling me \u201chis favorite carrot.\u201d Can you believe it? <\/span>\n <\/p>\n Add to that my mother\u2019s criticisms, my grandmother\u2019s apocalyptic prophecies that said I would lose all my hair, and my little brother\u2019s jokes.<\/p>\n But I stood tall with my head held high.<\/p>\n Because with my hair, I could have been blonde, but in my heart, I was an Amazon and a brunette warrior.<\/p>\n After fifteen days, I was prepared for the third step.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Remember that the night before, you should protect your hair with coconut oil.<\/p>\n Basically, the process is the same that I explained in step 2.<\/p>\n The only difference is that this time, instead of letting it process for forty minutes, I left it in for twenty.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n For this, there isn\u2019t an exact science.<\/p>\n When you notice that your hair is sufficiently blonde, it\u2019s time to rinse the bleaching mixture.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Prepare yourself because after rinsing and drying your hair, the image will be shocking.<\/p>\n From carrot orange to chicken yellow.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n But don\u2019t panic. I know it\u2019s easy to say that, but this yellow won\u2019t last long.<\/p>\n Because there\u2019s one step left in my transformation to ashy blonde.<\/p>\n Toning.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n But you should apply the toner in a week. I know. It seems like a lot.<\/p>\n But looking back, we have come a long way to start being patient now.<\/p>\n Also, remember: we are looking to get to ashy blonde in the healthiest way possible.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Now, because I was really annoyed by those chicken yellow chunks, I softened them by using a purple shampoo<\/a>.<\/p>\n It isn\u2019t a final solution, but it helped.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s go! We\u2019re just about there!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The day had come! I was so excited!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n After almost a month, the day had come to finally become a woman with ashy blonde hair.<\/p>\n And the best part is that my hair looked pretty healthy. Patience has it\u2019s advantages and I had persevered and had triumphed.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The moment had come to use a toner. I recommend toner Wella T18<\/a>, but you can use whichever one you want.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n You will need:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
