How can I lighten my natural dark brown hair so it wont turn out gold or red?

Everytime I try to lighten my hair, it turns out redish-gold, but I hate that. Is there a way I can dye it without these results at home, or should I just go to a salon?

Lightening hair involved some sort of chemical bleachin process and if your hair has any red or gold tones in it, bleaching will give you gold results. Most highlighting or dye kits bought at the store are very basic and the colors are not blended with the individual hair and results in mind.

If you do want to lighten your hair successfully, especially if you are a darker brown, just go to a salon. They specially mix color and chemical activator for each client.

I recommend sticking to highlights if you want a signifigantly lighter color in your hair. All-over color that is signifigantly lighter than your natural hair is hard to maintain and is hard on your hair. Or, you could try going just a shade or two lighter to brighten up your face.
