Can you give Dark brown hair red/auburn highlights without bleaching it first?
Not true! If your hair already has artificial color on it, the yes you would have to bleach that out to get the desired color because color cannot remove color. But if you have never colored your hair you do not need to bleach it to create auburn or red highlights. Choose an auburn permanenet hair color that is about two levels lighter than your natural hair, it will brighten up nicely (natural look). If you choose red and do it yourself, it may not be real bright (depends on what you use) but it will show. **** If you go see a proffessional that knows how to color hair, bleach will not be necessary for true red/auburn highlights. In fact in my opinion it would be better for the longivity of the color to NOT use bleach. Do it yourself, the results are unpredictable. :/ Good Luck!
