I am currently coloring my hair with this color

http://www.shop.com/Health_amp_Beauty_Re...

My natural color is somewhat close to this

http://www.shop.com/Health_amp_Beauty_Lo...

I would like to know what's the best way to go back to my natural color. I would like to do this gradually 'cause last time I went to my natural color (i previously colored my hair black) I went to the hair salon, the lady bleached my hair and put in highlights and it looked horrible. I can see that my hair is still recovering - I did that a year ago and since my hair is curly I can tell how much of new hair I grew because the ends won't curl as much as the new hair. So I would like to skip bleaching this time and lighten my hair gradually. Any ideas? Thanks

Since your hair is currently colored with a permanent color, you will need acolor remover like Colorfix. It is designed to remove the color by breaking it down rather than bleaching. Your hair will turn orange but the dark brown will be gone. Next you will need to bleach to a yellow like a banana then tone to the ash blonde.
Colorfix is easier on your hair than There is a post about this product on this site if you do a search.

no you won't need to bleach it after color fix unless you want to go to a light blonde.

just use color fix & since you're a dark blonde, it will be fine.  pick out a shade with the correct base though.  read this & strand test before you dye your whole head http://talk.hairboutique.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=40328

the dye at sally's beauty is good because you know what the base colors are!

yesterday i used coloroops to remove dark brown from my hair. My hair is now dark strawberry blonde, with some orange tones which aren't too bright.  I was wondering is it possible to use one of those high lift colors or should I try something else?

you can use a hi- lift colour depending on how light you want to go, I would advise you use one with ash tone to prevent unwanted yellow tones.
