How can I go from bleached platinum blonde to auburn red?

red hair color levels image

Savy

I'm looking to do this process at home, as I've done my hair myself for many many years. I had auburn red hair up until last August where I started the process of bleaching my hair to a very light level blonde. Well, I would like to go back to the auburn color I was, but I'm not sure if I should color my hair a light brown first in order to put some pigment back into my hair.

Also, if I need to color it brown first, can I color it red soon after, like, within a day, or should I wait a week or so.

Thank you for your help!

Answer
You don't have to dye it brown first just get a red protein filler. Use that then dye your hair and done. The protein helps your hold the color.

How can you remove semi-permanent hair dye without changing the natural hair color?

I need some hair help- fast! My natural hair color is a medium/dark blonde, but I decided to use a semi-permanent(28 day wash out) dark red dye on it. It looked very pretty for the first two or three weeks, but then it took on this dull red-orange color. Since then, the color has stayed the same, and it's been six weeks since I dyed it.
I would like to have my blonde-ness back by wednesday, because school starts back up, and I don't want to go with this odd red-orange mess. I tried one of the crystal clarifying treatments, but it barely changed the color of my hair. Since it takes nearly a year and a half to grow it out, I don't want to use bleach or another dye to make the red go away. I obviously don't have a salon license, so my choice of products is probably limited. I was wondering if there are any products that will take the dye out without changing my natural hair color at all. Thanks.

The red molecule in hair color is the biggest...Wich makes it difficult to penitrate into the hair shaft but once in, it is the hardest to remove from the hair. It is also the hardest color to maintain looking as vibrant as it does in the begining week or two.
In your question you wrote you did not want to use another color or bleach.....The only way you will be able to get rid of the red will be by covering it up with another color that will counter act the red/orange.....which is going to be a color with a purple, blue, or green undertone.....You should choose a color that is one level lighter than your natural color....I would recommend having it professionally done. Hair color that salons use is much different than store bought color....salon color leaves your hair feeling better than when you walked through the door.....Store color leaves your hair feeling like straw...Plus you will have the expertise of a trained professional to figure out your corrective color......Otherwise, you could end up just creating another mess on your head!!!!
