Will developer from the hair dye boxes at cvs or walgreens lighten dark hair lighter without the using color?

If i bought loreal preference hair dye in a shade lighter than my own natural hair then can i use the


developer alone to lighten my hair (i know it wont lighten it a lot but will it lighten it at all?)





*******i am naturally dark brown so if i buy a light brown dye and only put the developer on my hair then what will it do?

You will want to be somewhat careful about what you do with that. Most hair dyes are designed to first remove some color from your hair and then deposit new color on the bleached hair strand. If you are going lighter than your natural color, you may end up brassy or orange with the developer. You may also end up with a color that isn't at all natural. Try the color in the box before you try the developer on its own.
