What happened?

Because I want my hair to go light brown and I'm thinking I need a dark blonde or blonde hair dye.

I can't afford a professional dye. Grr, need a job.

My hairs already dyed too if that helps.

Its fine. They are afraid that the color will not show up on black hair. They need to state this out incase people start sueing them about the product not working and false advertisement. If you have black hair already, blonde hair dye is good for getting a light brown or brown as home dye is not as strong as professional dye.

i dont have a picture, but my friend used blonde for her hair, and it came out a really nice shade of light brown, kind of caramel?
when you use it, just make sure you check! dont go overtime!

HAHAHA.
I totally did that.
I couldn't find the dye that's MADE for black hair, so I grabbed the blonde
There's nothing bad about it, because I've used both.
Using the ones that aren't meant for dyed hair just makes you wait longer. Like for a person with brown hair, it'll say wait for 30minutes or something, you'll have to wait for 1h 30m.
I did that.
But if you use the ones meant for dark hair, it's faster, because there's bleach in it (?) & I waited like only 20 minutes.

My cousin had dyed black hair that has been chemically processed (dyed and bleached) multiple times.
She used one of those hairdyes designed for blondes (it was Garnier Fructis, dunno exactly which box) and
it came out a nice light natural brown, it almost looked like she had blonde highlights in bright lighting.

Isn't professional dye usually cheaper?
I think the packs you find at supermarkets are around $15
but professional dye including the peroxide should add up to less than $12

usually works alot better than the supermarket hairdye too, since you can decide on the strength of the dye, etc ^^

It depends where you go to. the guy that cuts my mom and my hair, i think it's like 60$(maybe more. lol this is why my mom only gets her hair done professionaly once a year and gets the roots done at home) to dye your whole head. he does a REALLY good job though. but i have NEVER heard of professionaly costing less than l'oreal and all those brands.

I want my hair to be light brown, like honey brown(caramel), but i don't know how it'll look on it, so if i try those l'Oreal Color pulse, in blond, would it still work??? i really want to try it, but don't want to waste like 10$ on it if it won't work.

hey if you have brownish black hair with random blond and red hairs, and it's super super light brown in the sun like it's dyed, and you wanna dye it whitish blonde like jaejoong's color, which dye should you use? (brand and color?)
