Answer 1

if ur looking for a  White blonde. its clear color.. clear goes like white blonde.

. thats like no where. but give a try.. find  some " clear" color.

Answer 2

You can't, not even if you went to the salon. I have a friend who is a hair stylist and she has recently told me that one of the most frustrating things is when someone with really dark or black hair comes in wanting to have bleach blonde hair. She says that it is just impossible. The best you could get is probably a dark blond.

Answer 3

well it can't happen all at once. you're looking at an at least 3 step process, meaning it's going to take at least 6 weeks to lighten your hair. this is really something you should go to a salon for.  the bleach we use in a salon is far safer than ANYTHING that comes in a box. i've never heard of adding anything to color to make it lighten faster, as the only product you can use to lighten is bleach.  oh, and for god's sake DO NOT USE SUN-IN!!!!! i cannot stress to you enough the damage it will do to your hair.  also i've never heard of the lemon juice lightening hair.

While I doubt that either of the following methods would turn black hair white blonde, they may lighten it. I don't know, it could work after a while.

Honey lightening:

Comprehensive Summary of the newest honey lightening recommendations. Patch test any ingredient not previously used on the scalp or skin.

1. The 4 to 1 dilution is 4 parts water to 1 part honey. It is now the recommended dilution to be used for honey lightening. With this dilution, a treatment only needs to be left on the hair for 1 hour, because a honey will produce its maximum amount of peroxide in that time. The minimum amount of honey to be used is 10 grams. Here is a honey conversion table - See "Convert cup of honey into grams g, ounces oz or tablespoons." Use 4 times the amount of water by weight, e.g. 40 grams water to 10 grams of honey. You can also convert to ml, because 1 gram = 1 ml.

According to reports posted in this thread, better results were achieved with the 4 to 1 dilution in 1 hour, than with repeated treatments using the old dilutions. Different honeys produce different levels of peroxide. Here is the Successful Honeys List - if one cannot be found - try a dark coloured honey blend - raw or pasteurized - both have been reported to work equally well.

2. Distilled water is recommended to be used for honey lightening in place of plain water. It is a better choice, for getting the best results from a honey lightening recipe because hydrogen peroxide can decompose in contact with certain minerals. More information on distilled water can be found here.

3. The honey lightening boosters - ingredients that add extra peroxide to the recipes are; ground cardamom, ground cinnamon, coconut oil, extra virgin olive oil.

Spices can be irritating - less is more with the 4 to 1 dilution - start with 1 tablespoon after patch testing - suggested maximum - 2 tablespoons.

Oils can be difficult to wash out of the hair - suggested amount - 1 tablespoon.

4. Herbal teas if used instead of straight distilled water - chamomile - Roman chamomile is preferable but it is possible that chamomile can add a gold tone to the hair. Mullein - leaves only not flowers - the leaves are not known to add colour. The herbal tea should be brewed with distilled water.

5. Herbal tea that is used with honey lightening needs to be cooled first to room temperature before any other ingredients are added to it. Do not add spices to a recipe after you have applied the recipe to your hair - if any dry spice spills - you risk skin irritation - mix the spices into a recipe. The spices will blend better, mixed into herbal tea, when the honey is added first.

6. For blondes, lighter hair colours, and hair colours where one does not want the possibility of added colour, distilled water is better, than risking added colour by using herbal tea.

7. Distilled water used with honey lightening should be room temperature only. Do not add spices to a recipe after you have applied the recipe to your hair - if any dry spice spills - you risk skin irritation - mix the spices into a recipe. The spices will blend better, mixed into water, when the honey is added first.

8. No external heat should be used with honey lightening - no blow dryers, sunlight. None of the recipe ingredients except herbal tea should be heated at any time. Heat (except body heat) can destroy hydrogen peroxide by decomposing it to water and oxygen. It depends on the degree of heat and the amount of time that it is applied. Pasteurization does not destroy the enzyme in honey that produces peroxide.

9. No ingredients that contain Vitamin C, (except ground cardamom, which has the highest peroxide value for a spice and a low Vitamin C level), should be used in the recipes. Hydrogen peroxide oxidizes Vitamin C and is depleted in doing so. Some honeys naturally contain higher levels of Vitamin C. Avoid using Anzer, buckwheat, linden flower, locust flower, mint and thyme honeys. Most honeys contain very low levels. Here is a list of ingredients that contain Vitamin C.

10. Jarrah honey, from Australia, is known for its very high peroxide value and is a good choice for honey lightening. Information on Jarrah honey and current suppliers can be found here.

11. Conditioner is no longer recommended to be included in honey lightening recipes. Conditioner can contain ingredients that interfere with honey lightening and because of its water content (most conditioners are between 70 to 90 % water), if used as part of the 4 to 1 ratio, shorten the amount of water needed for optimal honey dilution. You can use conditioner only, to wash out a honey lightening treatment, instead of using shampoo or just rinsing it out. If ther

Answer 5

bleach it 3 times over a 5 day period then just get a blonde color dye and dye it

you will look like barbie (:

but ofcourse your hair will b fried to a crisp so use dove conditioner and other dove products to make it nice again

good luck

Answer 6

SUN IN- its this stuff you spray in your hair then blow dry and ta-da! bleach blonde! you can get it at like cvs or rite aid or like any drugstore

Answer 7

yes well that won't be possible.  they wouldn't even be able to get it white blonde in a salon without your hair falling out.  especially if that is black hair color and not your natural.  i would suggest going to the salon.    getting that blonde is a process and won't happen in one application.  and you can't keep bleaching it because that will cause a great deal of breakage if you overlap bleach.  go to the salon because it will end up costing you much less money in the long run.

p.s. sun in and lemon juice won't do anything to color treated hair and if you have virgin hair it will just turn it orange.

Answer 8

Although I wouldn't recommend going from black to bleach blonde anyway, I would definitely not recommend make that drastic a change at home. Using large amounts of bleach can damage your hair beyond repair, so I would go to a salon with professionals who really know what they're doing. It will cost more, but you'll also have hair that hasn't been ruined.

Answer 9

if you really aren't afraid, there is a 40 vol. bleach available at hot topic which includes a toner.

if you want white blonde, i would say to do this process a total of 3 (maybe 4) times.

PLEASE for god sake allow sometime (even just a day) for recuperation. (understand at those times you will have to deal with whatever haircolor from the last treatment)

and use conditioning treatments like mad.

good luck.

Answer 10

You really can't do it at home cause if you do it all once your hair will break and just start falling off. Go to a salon cause they have higher end stuff that will moisturize.

But a bigger problem is why do you want to go blonde? Number one, if you have black hair, I'm sure your skin tone is too dark to pull of a blonde naturally. Number two, blonde shows the damage more clearly than dark colors. Number three, dark colors make your eyes pop, no matter what color it is.

I suggest an auburn red.

Just in case you were wondering, I dyed my hair all the colors you can imagine, well the ones that are natural on humans, so I know what I'm talking about.

Answer 11
