Answer

Coming from someone who bleached her hair at home... go to a professional. Especially since you box dyed it. Box dye is hard to get out at home and you could risk damaging your hair to the point it starts breaking off. 
I bleached my hair from natural and it took me multiple times to get it light blonde and it still wasn't even that light and I fried my hair. Can't image the damage from a dark box dye.

Answer

Go to a salon, it will be worth the money because if your hair ends up looking horrible you're going to end up spending money to fix it anyway. Go to a salon I'm telling you because I fried my hair one day trying to do it myself and I cried.

Answer

Don't ever try to achieve a very light color in one day. That will damage your hair real bad. Take steps to lighten them. And deep condition in between. Take it from me I did Ashe blonde ombré and I lost all my ends. Taking 10k mg of biotin now and growing it out again. Good luck and check YouTube too

Answer

You will need to strip your hair to go back light.
Depending on the colour you are now is depending on how many times you will need to strip.
You should go and get a consultation in a salon which is usually free, ask what they would do as to stripping and how to achieve going back to the colour you want then maybe you could just do what they say but at home.
I was too scared to do mine myself, so I spent £140 at a salon to have it stripped twice!

Answer

You'll have to strip the darker color, and coloring/bleaching on top of that can be super damaging if not done right. I'd recommend having it done at a salon, and then you can touch up the color at home if you prefer. Better to pay now and have it done right than try to fix the damage later on.

Answer

Lots of vitamin C tablets with conditioner leave in for hours and slowly strip it down without super harsh chemicals ☺️

Answer

Do not attempt to lighten your box colored hair at home.. you're asking for disaster. If you don't want to go to a salon, you're better off leaving your hair alone.

Answer

I'm a professional hair stylist. PLEASE go to a professional. We don't recommend box color and removers for a reason. The strippers and box contain salts in them that are horrible for your hair, if you use a remover and color over it you are at high risk for damage, breakage, or even MELTING the hair strand. The metallic salts mix with the bonds inside the hair cortex and they create a chemical reaction that's bad for the hair. A HUGE no-no. Go to a salon where they know how to do a color remover. Box color is very hard to get out so if it wont come out professionally, they may suggest coloring over it with a darker color to fill it.

Answer

I dye my hair blond at home. I would think you need to strip the old color off your hair first. Then you can bleach it if it's not light enough and after that tone it. You can buy the products at Sally's.

Answer

Youll probably have to bleach your hair back to blonde then tone if necessary. I have previously died my hair jet black and instantly regretted it and went to a silver in only a day. Just do some research, take precautions and know your hairs limit 😊
