I use L'oreal coulour experte--it works really well. But you don't want to buy something that is sold to lighten your hair, you should just buy a dye.

You have to make sure you use one with peroxide in it, the wash out kind won't work. Make sure you really want to do it though because it is damaging and I find that more hair than usual falls out in the shower a week or so after dying it, so if your hair is already thin its not a good idea, but if its thick it won't make too much of a difference. I agree with the first poster, L'oreal is good.
