* Powder bleach. Half a packet is one bleaching for short hair; longish hair requires a full packet and very long or thick hair requires two per bleaching. You will probably be bleaching your hair multiple times, and buy extra just in case. I usually buy three and if I only use two, I have one for next time.

* Dye. There are several brands, notably Manic Panic, Punky Colors, and Special Effects. Manic Panic stains less and runs less, but it won't last as long or look as intense. Special Effects is on the other end of the spectrum. For dark, vivid colors, use Special Effects, but remember: it will run in the shower, in the rain, and when you sweat. If it runs in a public place, it may look very odd. Punky Colors runs and stains a lot, but it doesn't look much different than Manic Panic, and therefore I don't recommend it. You can buy dye at Sally Beauty, Hot Topic, or the internet, and for the best selection, I'd stick with the net.

* Developer for the bleach. It comes in 10, 20, 30, and 40 'volume' which refers to the amount of peroxide. Read below for more information.

* A tint brush or old tooth brush. Beauty supply store.

* A small non-metal cup to mix the bleach in.

* Hair drier.

* Lots of heavy conditioner. (Stay away from anything expensive. You're poor (or I am anyway) and it's a ripoff).

* Plastic wrap (or processing caps if you prefer).

* Vaseline.

* Old, ucky clothes. Wear a button-down shirt so you can remove it without pulling it over your head (and hair).

* A whole lot of time, and a friend to help you if possible.

Hope that is helpful

Use Revlon, they have THE best conditioner that won't leave you hair dry. And on the box they show what your hair will look like after dying it. It shows if you're brown it will be darker and blonde lighter. My mom works at the salon and that's her all time must have.

well id advise you that its going to leave your hair in a really bad condition wether you like it or not! to go the that light you have to open the cuticles of hair and change the colour of the hair!

id advise bleach again but this time add something with a little ash in it so it doesnt turn out brassy leave it on for

40minutes this time! it will probs come out very blonde on the roots redo the ends and get a colour match!

try blondor with 12% peroxide from salon suppliers!

The first answer is pretty good, but there are some VERY IMPORTANT adjustments that I must tell you about.

* There are 2 types of bleach. One is for foil highlights and can be dangerous to use on the scalp. It's so caustic that your scalp can have severe chemical burns. The other is for just what you're doing. It usually comes in cream form.

*Your head will be itchy %26amp; possibly painful. If you scratch it, it will be worse. Make sure that there are no abraisions on your scalp before you proceed.

*Never use a peroxide higher than 20 volume mixed with bleach on your scalp unless the directions says otherwise.

*Apply the bleach 1/4" away from the scalp. Process untill your hair is the color of a baby chick. Mix a new batch %26amp; apply to your roots. The heat from your scalp will boost the action of the bleach. It you put it on the roots first, you will burn the h*ll out of your scalp waiting for the ends to come up. Cover your head LOOSELY with saran wrap to hold in your body heat %26amp; to keep the bleach from drying out.

*The bleach will not bring your hair up to white. You have to use a toner after you rinse, shampoo and condition your hair. Ask the person at Sally's for a suggestion. You'll want something with a purple base. Don't use anything lower than a level 9. (The lower the number, the darker the shade. You don't want to bleach your hair only to re-darken it.) Mix it with 5 volume peroxide-nothing higher. If they only have 10, mix it with = parts purified water.

Smush the toner on as quickly and evenly as possible. It will work almost as quickly as you can get it on. If you leave it too long, you will look like you have grey hair. The ends and around your face will grab the toner quickly. If you're confident, aim for the roots before you get it on the ends.
