Red to blonde? Hair help!

Question

So, my hair is naturally a dark blonde. 
I put a black dye on it months ago, which faded to a dark brown kind of colour. 
I then put a dark red over it. So its currently very dark red with dark browns under it. 
I’ve now decided I would like it light blonde, like bleach blonde as light as possible, but I’m not sure if that would be possible now I’ve done this to it? 
I dont have the money to go to a hairdresser, so want to do it myself at home. 
Anyone got any advice on how I could get it really light blonde? Would I have to just keep bleaching and toning? Use hair dye removers? I dont know where to start or what to use! 
If i do attempt it, I will cut some hair off and test it all first. Just want to know if anyones got any advice on whether its even possible do to at home? Or if I just need to stay dark now ☹️

Answer

Dont. Just dont. 
This isnt as simple as you think. This is a color correction and you will destory your hair trying

Answer

Don't do this at home. I m a cosmo school drpp out  (4  times,) ...I did red too n it took a full yr to get out. I had my instructor bleach w a ball cap n 2 helpers n a dryer ...all just under 10 min I'd say bc your hair can fall out.  Then we went over it w a 7 n let it be that level for a while..To repair strength try Guy Tang X2 collagen repair..35 bucks n lasts for a month..strengthens hair alot

Answer

Do not attempt this at home! Please. This is a pretty intense color corrective process. Also, did you use black box color on your hair to color it? I truly hope not. This will possibly be way too much to do to your hair. Meaning you can totally see a professional. Have them strip the box color off of your hair. And do a deposit only color onto your hair. Until it grows out some more and maybe has some time to chill. But if you attempt to strip out that color at home. Then add lightener onto your already chemically altered hair… this could possibly be a big old mess. Your hair will end up ten diff colors. I don’t mean dimension. I mean, your new regrowth will be one color then the box dyed area will be another and most likely your porous ends of your hair will be another color. Like think horizontal lines of demarcation. Not cute. Also, if your not super careful and depending on the health of your hair, you could end up with a chemical hair cut from the lightener…. Just save up your money. Get a groupon. Or you could even go to a local cosmetology school in your area. They will at least have teachers there that are licensed hair stylists. Who will consult with the students to help them formulate and they will most likely do a better job than you at home.

Answer

I would do a cpr treatment and may need to do two treatments of it to break the￼ molecules down. Red has the biggest molecules. Then I would do a round of lightener with no more than 30 volume in developer. Do not do your roots first do your coloured hair first as it will need a longer time to process. When you do uour roots I would do 20 volume of developer. After your finish with the process depending on your hair will determine if you need a treatment on your hair like a deep conditioner treatment. 
Your hair will have to go from red, to orange, then to yellow to get to the blonde that you want.

Answer

Your hair is going to be so fried & damaged

Answer

You’re not going to achieve this at home.  You’ll ruin your hair if you try to.

Answer

It’s possible but it will be a process. I would use a color remover, then bleach the dyed portion until it’s almost the desired color, then the regrowth, then the roots. Also i would use 20 volume not 30+. This will probably take 3+ attempts. Then once all hair is desired lightness put an ash toner over it. Also I recommend using a bleach like blondeme that has bond reinforcers in it and using olaplex bc your hair will definitely be damaged.
