You could use L'Oreal ColorSpa. It's a semi-permanent that covers grey and is very gentle. I don't have any shade advice to offer, but L'Oreal has a customer hotline you can call. There is also an interactive guide to choosing a shade at www.lorealparis.com.

I am thinking I might just keep my hair red, at least for a little while, is there a temp. color I could put on it to cover the grays and make the red a little more natural look. I would still want to go blonde so I want to be sure that this color will bleach out easily. I just used colorfix today with results that the color is more consistant.

Any drug store color that would work?

Thanks for the help,
DL

If you live near a Sally's, try to find a green drabber. Green will counteract red. Another option would be to use a semi-permanent ash shade, but this will probably darken your hair.

How many times did you bleach? Black dye is really difficult to remove. If your hair has only been bleached once and is still in good condition, you can try to lighten your hair again. You could try an application of ColorFix -- that should remove more of the dye. Your hair will be a hideous shade of orange, but then you can bleach to your desired level and tone with something like Born Blonde or Clairol Creme toner.

Another, safer, option is to go to a pro.

P.S. If you decide to attempt something at home, make sure you do test strands. They're worth the extra time and effort.

Just bleached my dark dyed hair and it came out red. I am trying to lighten it up. What can I put on my hair to tone down the red without just making it dark again.
