How do i dye over my dyed brown/ red hair to blonde?

I have natural blonde hair but i have been dying it brown/ red for bout 2 years now. How do i get rid of the brown/ red colour and go back to blonde.





Can I just dye over it?


Or do I have to get remover? If so where do I get it|||I'm actually removing the colour from my hair now!! I dyed over my blonde hair and it went dark red. I researched on the internet and found "color oops" and "colour Zap"- I think they might only be sold in America, but I'm not sure. I'm from the U.K. and found a similar product called "Colour B4". I did a strand test and it took the colour back to blonde. I'm waiting to see if it works on the whole head now though!





It seems pretty good, and has had good reviews on the internet. Just google "colour b4 hair colour remover reviews". It doesn't bleach your hair and has no ammonia or peroxide in it. There is a long explanation and simple instructions in the box. It basically says that it removes all colour that has been deposited on the hair, but wont return to your natural colour if you have had bleach or highlights. It will return it to the lightest shade underneath the dye. However, some colourants "stain" the hair with red/black pigments, and the colour remover might leave copper hints in your hair if this is the case. (It also has instructions on how to fix this) And it is safe to dye your hair straight after using this product if you wish to.





There are also lots of "how to" tutorials on youtube showing how people have used colour correction.





I got mine from Boots, although I'm sure they sell this product and similar ones in any drugs store. Hope this helps :).|||My friend Lucy had this same problem, she went to the hairdressers who stripped some of the color using bleach, it hasnt immediately gone back to blonde, it is a light brown, but it is gradually lightening as the interim lighter color they put in is coming out.





To go from dark to light, there is no alternative to bleaching if you have used a permanent colorant, but you dont want to do too much damage to your hair.





I have naturall dark hair but bleach it very light blonde, using L'Oreal Perfect Blonde Maximum Lightening Creme. This will leave your hair kind of yellowy, so after the lightening, you then need to apply a toner, such as Clairols Born Blonde Toner...if you find a shade of toner that is same as your natural hair color, then that would be it, from then on your natural color could grow, no more bleaching required. That said I think you could do it yourself, even though my friend didnt, but do strand tests first and follow instructions to the letter if you do.





Good luck!|||Look into this website, they have some excellent information about your question:
