Help dying my hair brown to blond - Garnier 100%?

I have naturally medium brown hair. I want to go blond, but everytime I try to lighten it, it turns orange. I found this color by Garnier called 100% color. It is supposed to be good at lightening really dark hair. Has anyone used this going brunette to blond?

Also, if I want to do the shade "light natural bond", do I have to bleach it first? They also have a bleach blond color. Should I use that first? If so, how long should I wait after bleaching before dying again? Help! I am really not knowledgeable in this area. So if you could please be detailed in your answer that would be great. Any advice is appreciated.

P.S. I have recently colored my hair, so it is the brownish-orange color.

You poor thing. It is especialy hard to lighten hair that is darker than a certain level- yours sounds like it is. Now that you have coloered your hair and it has turned the orangey color, it will be harder to get it to do anymore with another coloring. Color does not lift colr on the hair shaft- it only darkens it. Because of the nature of the hair and the differing levels of darkness- it is never psossible to get a beatiful "one process blonde" (one process meaning only one color application). I would seriously recommend going to a salon for a consultation (Those are usually free) to talk to a trained stylist and see what they can recommend. I would even more seriously recommend letting a stylist give you a kick- a** blonde that will not disappoint! :) MAybe a two tone highlite witha base color in between! Have fun with it- if youa re totally against the professional thing, try to get your color from a beauty supply with stylists in teh back and ask them soem questions (The stylist- NOT the girls up front). Good luck!!! :)

I would suggest that you go to a professional hair stylist. I know that it is more expensive but I think that it is definitely worth it in the long run, especially since you are making a pretty big change. Good luck.
