My hair currently looks like this, it used to be red but now it's faded to an orangey brown (Lighter and less red than in pics):  Basically, I want to go strawberry blonde or orangey blonde from that. Bad Mockup:  How long should I bleach it for, and is it okay to? I can't find colourfix, but the bleach I have is meant for bleaching out colour as much as lightening, and the red is very faded and is more a slightly bleached out darkish orange now. |

This is going to be tough. . . because your hair is permanently colored (you have regrowth), you have only a couple of options. 1. Getting a color remover (which will only lift your hair a couple of shades at best; given you haven't overlapped color on your ends every time. 2. Letting it grow out (which I know you don't want to do.) Red is the hardest color to remove from hair and if you even decide to do this, go to a professional. You DO NOT want to attempt this at home. You'll end up paying even more money in the long run to go get it fixed. Good Luck! ------------- |

| Most of the red has actually faded before. I once had some red dye bleached out before and it went totally fine. |
