Hello! I had red hair which had faded/grown and I got fed up with how bad the roots kept showing up. Used a colour remover on my hair with the intention of lightening it enough to dye over an aurbern/orange but I was surprised at how blonde my hair was (but a bit brassy) and decided I wanted to go blonde instead. I dyed over my whole hair with a blonde dye which has re-ignited a very pale red/almost pinky colour in places. Wondering how I can get it blonde? Will I have to bleach it? Thanks! x
Hi Hi!
Please take a good old read of my blonding guide (useful even if you don’t want to achieve white)

You’ll likely need to use a lightener, and tone it out with a box dye or toner (depending on your level) Stripper doesn’t actually take you back to your ‘natural colour’ as they claim, as most box dyes have lightener in them, so it actually takes you to the colour it lightened to. Obviously there was some colour deposit in your hair from the red that showed up when you used the blonde.
