I’ve been working on it since November! Start with heavy highlights and add more every few weeks/every month/ or months depending on how healthy you want your hair; until you get all blonde. Then continue the lightening and toning process-SLOWLY-until you reach your desired blonde! Ideally you could just slap on lightener all over a few times and hope for the best, but the possibility of your hair turning into bubblegum is too high to risk lol. Patience is key and Get deep conditioning & keratin treatments semi regularly to keep your hair healthy. Hope that helps!
