Can you dye your hair blond using peroxide?

Answer #1: You can, but it is damaging to the hair and makes it an unnatural color. Answer #2: Peroxide does not "dye" your hair, but rather it strips the colour from your hair, so it does become a blond colour and that is how you see people with white-blond hair. However it is always recommended to add a coloured dye (even blond) to the hair after applying the peroxide - this puts some nutrients back into the hair and protects it from breaking. If you use peroxide too often it could lead to hair damage and breakage.
