HYDROGEN PEROXIDE FOR YOUR HAIR?! - Beauty & Cosmetics Message Board

My friend brushed hydrogen peroxide through her hair and slept on it and it lightened her hair so much. She went from a dark brown to a very light brown. It wasn't necessarily pretty but it definitely fit with summer weather. My hair is so dark, like dark brown, almost black, and I really want to get the summer look without paying a fortune for highlights. What do you guys think? Should I try it? Thanks a ton!

p.s. does anyone have any other suggestions other than lemon and sun in? Those just turn my hair orangey, not very flattering!

I've heard of hydrogen peroxide doing that too. Maybe you could just use a sample of your for a few nights and see how it turns out and if you like then do it if you want. I would.

I meant to say use a sample of your *hair

Also, I don't know of any other lightening things to use. What about hair color? have you thought of that?

OOOOOHHHHHH Be careful with the stuff, you dont want to ruin your hair, what about shampoos that have highlighters in for different hair colours. Bleached hair takes forever to grow out and you risk it going orangey - Yuck. Ask the opinion of a hairdresser, they usually sell products.

I did this once. ONCE. The stuff is soooooooo drying. I am not exaggerating when I say my hair felt like straw. I wouldn't recommend it.
