One very important thing to figure out at the outset is how brown hair dye is likely to work with your hair now.  If you are a blonde, you are in luck.  You can just use brown hair dye out of the box and without the need to do any bleaching.  If you are a redhead, then it depends on what kind of redhead.  If you have bright red hair, you are going to need to bleach first because that punky color needs to be removed so that the brown does not mix with it.  Understand that the brown hair dye itself is not lightening your hair or removing any existing pigment.  It is just coating brown pigment on top of it.  If you cannot imagine your current hair looking good with brown mixed into it, chances are that you will need to bleach. 

If, rather than a punky red hair, you have a more traditional darker red hair, you might be able to just use brown hair dye without pre-bleaching.  But your hair will end up being a blend of brown and red.  Do a test a strand test to make sure you like this look.  If you do not, you will need to bleach the red out first so that you can have a pure brown.

If you are just using brown hair dye to give yourself a darker or deeper shade of brown than you already have, you can use brown hair dye right out of the box for good effect.  If your hair is black, you will need to bleach before you apply brown hair dye to get a good effect.
