Ooooh u mean fiery red-orange? Hehe what dye did u use?

Lol, anyway ur best bet would be to use a light ash brown but don't count on it to be really light cuz brown over red might just deepen it, so try a strand test to be sure....usually for a color change pple have to remove the color and then color over it!

Ah, so u'll have to remove the color...if u used permanent red then u could use colorfix to remove it since i wouldn't bleach over ur already bleached hair, then u can use the light brown over it, but strand test for both first! It would have been better to use a demi perm. brown color...oh well, hope this helps!

p.s. treat ur hair to weeklt intensive conditioning after this!!!
