Our Walgreen's was completely out, and I've heard that others ran into the same problem (I get this image of people wearing baseball caps running into Walgreen's and snatching up a bottle, haha). I've read CVS sells it, and I know that Walgreen's does as well. I used ALL of one bottle and my hair isn't that thick, although it is long. If you have a lot of hair, or are messy when applying this stuff, you might want to buy two boxes. Somewhere near my natural color would be awesome, so I can add in blonde highlights and get lighter as it gets warmer. Since it's nearing Spring (not really, but I'm delusional that way), I want to go lighter, but I don't want to make the jump from the picture on the right all the way back to the picture on the left. This Fall I went to a red color, which I looooved, and then to my standby dark brown a couple of months ago.įrom the left: my beloved platinum blonde, the red I went to this Fall, and my most recent dark brown. (My first time found me with green, then purple hair, all of which broke off and left me with a very, very unflattering, unintentional pixie cut.) Since then, I've gotten better at doing my hair myself. I have gotten the itch to go darker, usually in Fall. My hair hasn't been it's natural dirty blonde since. For nearly a decade, I've been bleaching my hair to that gorgeous platinum color that she pulls off without looking like a stripper. You might recall from a previous post that my style icon is Gwen Stefani. Would my hair turn orange? Would it simply lighten? After a bunch of research, I decided to jump in, and I'm really pleased with the results. It's a bleached out blonde, and I'm not really expecting a product to remove months of color to get me back to that color.

The catch: my hair underneath the dark brown dye is not virgin (heh heh). My goal was to lighten my dyed dark brown hair and get to a light brown so I could put some blonde highlights in and journey back to a blonde. I read a lot of successful reviews online and decided to give it a shot myself. I recently came across a product called Color Oops Hair Color Remover which is supposed to remove dyed pigment from your hair without damaging it.
