Would I be able to dye my dark brown hair to blonde without bleach at home?

No you can't.

Color lifts up to 3 levels of hair color (using 30 volume peroxide, 20 lifts 2 levels, 10 doesn't lift but just deposits) so that would bring you to a lighter brown, but still brown even with a 30 volume developer. And color does not lift color well. You're talking about putting pigment in twice, which will make it harder to lift the color to blonde. I'm assuming the reason you'de rather do color is because you don't want to damage your hair as much. However, putting color on your head with 20 volume twice is no different than using a GOOD bleach and 40 volume peroxide once.

Color spends the first 20 minutes lifting color out, and the second 20 minutes depositing pigment. bleach spends the entire time, up to an hour, lifting, not depositing pigment. You're getting a lot more lift with bleach, and no counterproductive depositing of pigment, that you're later going to have to try to remove.

Also, those boxed blonde dyes do not do the same thing for everyone, as they imply. 70% of the world's population are naturally a medium to darkish brunette, and they're basing the predicted results on that. They're also assuming you have "virgin" hair (hair that hasn't been previously bleached or colored). Stylists take into account when they formulate color what level hair color you have, what you'de like, and whether or not your hair has been colored previously and if so with what. All color goes by a scale of somewhere between 1-10 and 1-12. 1 being black like Asian hair, 10 or 12 (depending on the line) being platinum blonde. If you have a level 3 hair (dark brown), and you want to be a level 9 (which is most likely the color you are talking ), you need to go up six levels, and you can't use color for more than 3.

Hope that's not too confusing- I've been doing hair for 18 years, so I've done literally thousands of hair colors, and have taught new stylists color and corrective color. So don't try this!

lots of people think this will work, but no, it won't. the lightest you can go with store bought box dye is light brown. the 20 volume peroxide (developer) can only lift natural hair 2 levels. AND a lighter shade of dye can't lighten hair dyed with a darker color. that 20 volume peroxide isn't strong enough to lift it. you could try professional hair dye and a stronger peroxide, but there's no guarantee from me that it will work. professional hair dye, like miss clairol, can be used with stronger developers from 30 to 40 volume. that may work for you if you really don't want to bleach, and your hair is naturally dark brown. if it's dyed dark brown, hair dye won't do anything. try getting a light blonde color and some 40 volume peroxide. also, try hair dye additives. these work great. you can get everything you need at sally beauty. the hair color additives i'm talking about are ardell unred, red gold corrector plus and lock-in blonde. i'd say add all 3 to your dye mixture. miss clairol has light blonde, very light blonde and lightest blonde. then of course there's the hi-lift blondes. since your hair is dark i'd try the darkest of the light blonde shades so you don't get orange or yellow hair. then after you color, if it's close enough to blonde but has a lot of yellow, you can try a toner. miss clairol also makes a range of toners to be used with 20 volume peroxide. those will remove brassy tones. i would suggest trying a strand test first, so you don't end up with a full head of disaster. well here's the miss clairol shade chart: http://www.clairolpro.com/files/swatches/miss_clai...
