Yeah golden blonde (a bit darker than mine) looks better with our complexion.
I got bored of blonde and recently dyed it light burgundy

Ouu a hair color thread.

My hair is bright red, but I did have to bleach to get it to this color. If you will do it at home, never use 40vol unless you are have self-bleached a few times and know how long processing is for your hair texture and length. Start with 30vol and mix in a bleach powder. If you need help with this stuff, just pm me. It creates a chemical reaction which is actually very hot (your head will feel like its on fire if you wait too long and you'll actually feel heat enamating from your scalp lol) so alwaysss be careful.

Please bleach long enough that it isn't that cheesy orange most Somali girls get lol, and yes, do the ombre. If you're darker skinned bright blonde all the way to your roots may make you look washed out.

Anyways, if its your first bleach - GO TO A SALON like Bella said. It's not worth frying your hair.

I have only ever highlighted my hair once with golden blonde and I have noticed that the dyed sections of my hair turned slightly frizzy/brittle. Knowing you also have to bleach your hair to achieve your end results I would say it's not worth the risk of damage... but if you must, get it professionally done.

I tried going blonde this year but I was too scared. I don't want my hair to get damaged.

Maa shaa Allah, lots of brave sisters here
