It would be a general disservice to you all if I didn’t start this post with one very important omission..
My choice (like many impatient choices I’ve made) to go from black to blonde in one foul swoop was not a wise one.
Thanks to Lacy it turned out exactly how I wanted it, but it could have been a disaster.
Further more it did damage my hair. Any lightening of your hair will do that so all logic and reason would suggest that an abundance of lightening on hair that has basically been painted with coats and coats of black ink for 7 plus years….well, a little damage would be impossible to avoid.
So if damage scares the begeeses out of you but you are still dying to go lighter… take this route:
Have an incredibly talented and confident stylist lighten your hair in stages. Where she artistically chooses what to lighten when. It should take about 6 months and if she is good it will look pretty at each stage.
As many folks told me prior to my switcharoo – that’s the safest option & the smartest option… but as opposed to what most people told me it isn’t your only option.
If you have access to a rockstar stylist who is willing and able to participate in what will surely be an experiment in which your hair may or may not survive and the final product may or may not leave you with crack hair where shiny dark hair once was but could possibly leave it the color you’ve been dreaming about… do what I did.
Cause, I don’t really like rules and when someone tells me that something I want is impossible…it kind of makes me want to do it even more.
Without further ado, I give you Lacy…
Cara’s Blonde Hair Recipe:
Doing hair color isn’t like baking cookies where you can use the same recipe and it turns out pretty much the same. I have to customize my color formulas for each client because of different textures, colors, and previous colors. Please keep in mind just because you use what I used on Cara or take the same steps it may not look the same.
1. We used the Vanish color remover and then used the Goldwell color remover. This is the least damaging way to get previous pigment off the hair and will most likely lift it to a redish orange color. I was hoping it would have lifted it more than it did, but was happy some of the color pigment was off
2. Because it still wasn’t light enough, we did a bleach shampoo cap. Where I mixed a little bleach and 10 vol with shampoo it lifted it a little more but still not enough…
3. I applied her base color and combed it Down 3 inches. The base Color was a level 6.1 ( each color line is different and in the color line I used a 6.1 has beige and ash tones). We were extremely happy with how the base color turned out.. ( hope was restoring)
4. We were happy with the base color, but even with the color removal and the first bleach application I didn’t think it would be light enough to get it the tone she wanted. At this point we had been able to keep the integrity of the hair pretty well. We had two options bleach it once more so we could tone it perfectly, but risk the damage or we could just do the level 6 all over. Which would still have been 6 levels lighter… She really wanted the lighter, which as a stylist you can use your better judgment and say no, but since her hair still felt pretty good we decided to go for it.
5. Staying away from the root and base color that had already been colored I foiled and balayged every piece of hair. And she was a blonde… A very copper red blonde that is.
(we lovingly named this sexy stage “Stawberries & Crack”)
6. The hardest part was trying to decide what to tone her with. Once you’ve lifted the hair so many levels and have some really light and some bright orange, it’s hard to know what to do. Some of the pieces that were really blonde I put them in foil with conditioner to leave some of the bright blonde pieces. I use Redken Shades for my toners. For the top I mixed 9t, 6t and 8n. The middle portion I did 8n and 9t. I completely left it off her ends. ** 9t looks completely grey and ashy. (that’s how it cancels out the red and orange) when washing it out I mushed it through the ends for a quick min and then we washed it out!
Adding the blonde extensions also give it the look of more blonde than it was before then.
(find those beautiful things here)
I am so completely happy with how it turned out.
For stylists and clients, we want you to know that a corrective color price usually **starts** around $300-500. We did do it in a house (with our kids) no dryer for processing, no shampoo bowl so it obviously took us a lot longer than it would have in a salon. But it did take us a full two days to finish. I did that on purpose to get more time with Cara before she left me.

. She did an amazing job, your hair still looks very healthy and the extensions are impossible to distinguish from your other hair!
I loved the black but change is so much fun, especially after 7 years! Last year I got bangs which was the first time my hair style changed at all in 17 (!!!!!!!) years… Crazy right? I am 31 and last time I had bangs I was 13, so basically a child… I was terrified of the change but I love that I did it and even though it’s been 7 months since the change, I still get excited and feel like it’s “new” every time I see my bangs in the mirror. Do you feel giddy every time you see the mirror?
Liked on FB…your hair looks amazing! I love that you can do the brunette and the blonde look so well!
Wow Lacy is so talented! Your hair looks beautiful by the way. I liked her page on facebook and am now just wishing she was here in Colorado to do magic on my hair!

THANK YOU for this in depth article. I’m a hair stylist and have had many clients that thought you could go from black to blonde by simply slapping some hair color on there, but it is such a long and tedious process – and sometimes impossible to achieve. I will totally save this to refer people to, to understand the process better. Thank you!

Cara-I’ve just recently got my hair highlighted-I went from black hair to an allover highlight of caramel- Which I LOVE- it was SUCH a huge difference for me since I’m SO boring and never change my hair. However, I got it done at Aveda and I bought Aveda Shampoo/conditioner. But, for some reason my hair seems to be SO dry and I just can’t seem to get the protein back in my hair. What kind of conditioner/DIY/Home remedy do you prefer?? Please PLEASE let me know!
Kinda curious… what product and color was your hair before? I am actually thinking of going dark. The natural mousey dirty blonde light caramel brown dull is just not doing it anymore. Kinda scared of going dark dark but … why not! I love the pop it created with your blue eyes! Hope to hear soon! thanks!

Too funny, I just asked the same question without reading yours! It’s just so pretty!
I love it and find it striking!!! I am not at all good at applying makeup or styling hair but I feel that the color would rally work on me with my coloring and blue eyes!!!
Your hair is absolutely beautiful!! (both ways) I love that your blog is filled with positivity! I do have one question, what is the hair color that you used with your dark hair? It looks healthy and beautiful! My hair naturally pulls red, but when I saw this.. it’s the exact match to what I’ve been wanting.
Thank you!!
