I will provide you with a quick back story and then cross my fingers that someone will be able to assist me/has done something along the same lines.
I was born with blonde hair, the color that turns white when exposed to mass amounts of sunlight. During my high school years it was super blonde too. Well this past summer I had this GREAT idea to have red highlights (streaks are more like it) but into my hair and by red I mean like obnoxious red. I used to put pink in it, not a problem, could dye over it, problem solved. Once I was sick of these red highlights I went to a hairdresser and was like boom, make me blonde again. They tried and this red could not be dyed over, basically it turned peachy/orange/red. So they told me we can bleach it again but your hair might fall out or you can go dark... as in dark, dark brown. Obviously I chose the latter. But now I want my blonde back, I have loved being brunette but miss my hair. I've asked different hairdressers the best course of action and have gotten an array of responses. I was hoping someone on here has been in this boat and can give me some guidance. PLEASE, I beg of you.
For those who don't want to read the whole post, what is the best course of action to return to blonde from dyed brown hair with red highlights covered by such dye?
