Hi,
I want to dye my hair blonde so badly but my hair used to be red. I’ve let the dye fade out a lot and now it’s kind of an orange/copper. If I get blonde highlights over this will it make me blonde??
Any suggestions will help; I really want to go blonde.

Don’t worry; by leaving your hair you’ve done the best thing. Book a consultation with a colourist who can look at your hair length and condition before deciding the best way forward.
Personally, I recommend having some highlights put through with a few different arrangements and tones that suit you. The colourist can then control and tame any tones you don’t want with the correct use of a toner. I’d also recommend an all-over colour between the highlights to give it a more natural feel and phase out any of those remaining red tones.
