Blonde or Red?

My husband loves my natural blonde but right before Mothers Day 2018 I decided to go drastic and dye my hair a deep red. Thing is, I love the red bc I feel gorgeous. My blonde us ok but I feel bored with it, obviously bc have had it my whole life.

So I've been trying to not re-dye it so that the color fades as much as possible so going back to blonde isnt as hard. But I HATE this stage!!! My roots are pretty grown out, my color is lack luster, and I'm stuck feeling like I look frumpy all bc I'm trying to make it easier on the stylist and my hair. Advice?
