Well, you can bleach it. there is this product that you can get at drugstores and its by Jerome Russell. you have to get the cream peroxide and the powder bleach and then you mix it with equal parts of each substance. I have brown hair and now it's blonde! not orange or brassy.... and it's still silky soft and shiny too. But thats if you want to do it yourself, which is a lot cheaper. Otherwise you can go into any salon and they will do it for you, but trust me, it really isnt as good as doing it yourself with that one product...hope that helps.

If you are only going 1-2 levels lighter and you do not have any other color on it, it is possiable. I would strongly suggest a salon however. Here is why: Even if you are only changing slightly, formulation is the key. The box is pre-formulated. Meaning you get what they give to you. And they pre-determine the developer too. Maybe you needed something a little stronger/ weaker. You will not have a choice, just what comes in the box. How many people truly know what level and tone they are? Some hairdressers even have a hard time with that one. So that is why a salon is ALWAYS best.
