Bleaching (colored) red hair back to blonde?

Question

I have naturally blonde hair and just for a change of pace I dyed my hair a dark red that lightened up to a dark strawberry blonde and I want to bleach it back to blonde. What are the odds it'll actually be blonde? Or will it turn orange or green?

Answer 1

It will be orange for sure. Even professionals will have a hrd time stripping out the red dye. Red is very hard to take out. They will have to do it several times until they get all the red out. That takes several sessions. It between sessions - you will have orange head.

If you don't go to a professional but decide to do it yourslef - chances are it will turn green. It is the tendency for many drug-store brands that are supposed to give you a lighter shade, if you apply it over a red dye it turns green. Unless you know what you are doing, don't do it yourself.

I had meduim-brown hair that I colored to auburn and later I wanted it to be blond. It took 2 bleaching (yeah, actual bleaching) at a professional salon until they got all the red out. Bleach-free products simply didn't do it.

I did the same thing years ago. whether you do it your self or have a professional do it the hair can come out kind of coral because it is so porous. I knew it would happen so I just left it and kept having my hair trimmed and layered,eventually my hair actually looked red and not coral, the red comes out good on the new growth.The best colors to use are Audacious red or titian red, those are both Wella brand,you can get them at a beauty supply store. Make sure the base color is either,red gold or red orange. The titain red is probably the better color for you,the base color is red,gold. Since your hair is bleached don't expect to get that exact color like Willows. Don't use a red that has violet or purple in the base either, when the color starts to fade your hair will be lavender. I just don't want you to be shocked if you do this, if you can deal with your hair looking a little coral,then go for it. Oh,and the other thing, red fades the worst.

I also suggest having a pro do it. Red is the hardest color to keep and hardest to remove. If you just try walmart bleach it will turn it orange or yellow. You will most likely need it stripped. Sometimes they can remove red with stronger bleach. Also if your hair is still a bit yellow after seeing a pro, I suggest using Purple shampoo the elderly use to get that silvery color. It will counter act the yellow and give you a nice blonde.

i have natural dark brown hair and i have always wanted blonde hair so i asked my stylist. She said she could strip my hair color and re dye it. However it is pretty expensive so she told me to go to walmart and look in the hair color section and they carried a product that stripped your hair color and did the same thing. I did it, and put the blonde color on my hair and it turned out blonde. I can't remember the name of the product, but it worked for me. And from what i can remember, it was the only product they had at walmart for stripping the hair color. Hope this helps.

If you bleach it will not remove all red.Next shade to come is copper.If becomes yellow,don't put any ash colours, because you have a chance to become green,if is copper ,go with ash blond.

Answer 8

if you have blonde hair this will naturally get bleached by the particular sun in the summer. There has been this guy in my class who had golden blonde hair that has been a medium brown near the bottom. When he came back to university after summer vacation, it was almost platinum blonde!

Answer 9

The reason why is everyone with blond, why aren't you just have jet black curly hair with some blonde or blonde tresses with some jet black hair. Now you don't have to choose.
