Alright ladies and gentlemen, I am in no way a professional hair dresser, but I have colored my hair a lot by myself growing up. Hair is my passion and I am in a dilemma.
I would like to turn my dark brown hair to Carrie Underwood's blonde. I am thinking about stripping my entire hair color with Color Oops by loreal, and then bleaching, of course I know that it'll turn yellow/orange, however, I know you use toner to rid your hair of that process.
I would like help from everyone that has experience on what they did to achive this, and products they've used. I would like to use products from Sally's Beauty Supply, but any advice would be helpful. Thanks Loves.

Ok, I went through this a year ago. Its a process for sure. It may even take a bit to do this. Stripping your hair is taking the pigments out. Then bleaching it,is also taking pigments out. So, I never stripped my hair. I used loreal blondissmas bleaching kit,its how I lightened my hair right up. I bought deep conditioning masks from sally,then 2 weeks later I bough 40 vol cream developer and violet dust free tonal lightner. It lightens up to 4 shades. I mix about 3 scoops with the developer it needs to be a light watery consistency,but creamy enough to brush on your hair. Like I said before, it will take time to achieve that blonde youre looking for but this is probably the "healthiest" way. Be prepared for a lot of breakage in the next few months. Get ALOT of deep conditioning masks, buy sulfur free shampoos and conditions and buy a purple toned conditioner which takes that yellow/brassy look out of blonde hair,try to limit using heating tools while doing this process and if you do buy a heat protectant and moroccain oil. I went from having super dark hair last jan and right now my hair os bleach blonde :) I only bleach it every 6 weeks and youll be able to do that which the amount of developer & violet powder you get. Mines lasted almost 6 months! Good luck :)

Thank you love! I will definitely be looking into those items, how many dye jobs do you think it was to achieve the blonde you wanted?

Use a blue based developer when you are mixing your bleach, it'll cancel out the yellowy-orange color you will end up with. It'll come out a much more complementary blonde!

I'm currently at the copper blond stage. but my hair is pretty damaged already, should I keep bleaching/dying it until I get the right shade of blond??
