If you want that bleached blonde look or even golden highlights, I cannot stress enough to go to a professional salon or hairdresser to do it for you. Unlike applying a colour, bleach will strip the colour out of your hair and if done incorrectly can leave you with green or red hair or even make your hair break off.

It is not cheap to have highlights done at a salon but they will have all the necessary equipment needed to do it. The home kits would allow you to say a fortune, but in my experience they never come out how you had expected them too.

If you want to lighten your hair all over then I would always suggest having full head of highlights a few time rather than bleaching your hair in one go. This will also allow your hair to remain in a good condition as bleaching can be very damaging.
