when i did bleach, i did it at home, but it was for putting in crazy colors like green. no experience with a more natural look.
i use ion from sally beauty and like them. my stylist likes wella. just make sure to read the instructions well. and get color stain remover! you will need it. put vaseline around the hairline to keep dye from bleeding onto the skin. i dont recommend doing it by yourself, since it's hard to touch up roots on a full head of hair. it's only easy to diy when you have a haircut like a mohawk. also, do a test patch first with a new dye. i have a sensitive scalp and did this before doing my whole head.
how often are you washing your hair? are you using color safe shampoo? if so which one? are you heat styling or using a blowdryer?
it's hard to tell from an internet forum how your hair will exactly look.
