Mine is really dark brown. You really can't lighten dark hair temporarily as far as I know. You can just add these temp gel colours as I spoke about earlier. Even those work better on lighter hair. To go lighter usually means using peroxide, which you DON"T want to use.
Yeah, no bleach for me thanks. Hopefully those dyes work in my hair, I suppose we'll go look for some next weekend, or maybe sometime this week, I feel a walk coming on.
