The prob w/ feria is that its a metallic dye and even if u tried something like colorfix to remove it rather than bleach chances are it will just re-oxidise back to the original red color.
You, like me, are a spontaneous dye junkie i think (lol) so be careful next time when u color ur hair, be sure that the color u want is something u are sure abt since haircolor is kinda like a relationship where u have to be committed if u don't wanna cuz damage, otherwise ur hair will "lash out" at u if u are too much of a playa'
I guess that's a neat way to put it but yeah maybe u should just consider hilights like KB suggested. It really can make all the difference...just something to ponder with if u're really in need of a change!

Well I don't think I was ever thinking about bleaching it out - yikes! But I
think what I will do is get it cut a few days before and then collect some
hair so I can do a strand test on them and see how it reacts to my hair.
The best guess is that it will do close to nothing at all since I already have
a much darker color on.

Why don't you try a few highlights if you're so bored with the auburn? That might just give you the lift you need so you don't get tempted to do something stupid like try and bleach Feria out of your hair.
Just an idea...and make sure to see the colorist for the highlights.

Well I don't think the color is a bleach since on the website they have a
separate link for bleaches, blondes, reds, browns, blacks and highlights...
so it must be a color, and probably will do little to my hair colorwise.
However, I think I will buy it and do a strand test like you said. Thanks
for the help, everyone!
I won't want to go to a stylist for this because I don't want to have this
color for too long... just six or eight weeks until I am no longer bored
with auburn.

At this point, if u really wanna go lighter, and u don't wanna trash ur hair like Leia mentioned, then u should probably go to an experienced colorist, who can gradually take u to blonde after like maybe 6 appointments. I know that doesn't sound too exciting but that's one of the better ways to go lighter from darker color treated hair..what is ur nat. color btw?

Color does not lift color (there may be a few minor exceptions, but
Feria does follow this rule). The odds are that only your roots
will change color.
Feria may be tricky. I'm not absolutely sure this is true, but
about 75% of the hair people I know claim Feria is a metallic dye,
meaning that Feria+bleach=disaster. Also, color strippers may or
may not work. You could call L'Oreal and ask them if it is a
metallic dye and if it is safe to bleach over Feria. However, I
would hate for you to trash your hair.
If L'Oreal says it is safe to bleach over Feria, then try a strand test
and see what color you get and what condition your hair is in
afterwards. If you want to go blonder, you will have to use
something stronger than color to lighten your hair. If it's a
fairly light red right now, then you don't need color stripper.

Hm, you are probably right. I suppose since it's not a bleach it won't turn
my hair exactly orange... but I'll wait for a second or third opinion... any
one else got some advice/knowledge?

oops - make that reddish blonde! you can see the "color" (though it's
most likely just computerized to best match the real result) if you go to
http://www.lorealparisusa.com/haircolor/products/feria/index .asp Click
"Reds" and then Blush Blonde 94. Thanks, again.

I have been a bright auburn (L'oreal Féria Sunset Blaze 77) for three
months now but am looking for something new. I am interested in a
shade of reddish brown, preferrably L'oreal Feria Blush Blonde 94. Since
my hair is chemically red, it will come out with redder results - but what
are the estimated chances of it backfiring and turning my hair a horrible
orange-yellow? I've used Féria for a year now and it has given me
nothing but great results... if that counts for anything. Thanks!
