I was blonde then went to red. It was a dark red for a while til I took a lot of the dark of it out. Now it's a nice, light warm coppery color. The problem is, my natural hair color is a dark blonde. The red is lighter then my natural color. Is there a red hair color that will lift as well?

Thank you.

Hi Pizzy,
Please bear with me... I'm not sure I understand.
Are you trying to lift the natural color on your roots?  Or the hair that has already been dyed?
If your roots - absolutely.  You can pair pretty much any red color with the right volume developer to lift the amount you need.  10 vol lifts up to 1 level, 20 vol lifts up to 2 levels, 30 vol lifts up to 3 levels.  (I don't recommend using 40 vol, which lifts up to 4 levels - you can easily get in over your head with unpredictable results!)
If you're trying to lift the previously colored hair, you can't do that with a red color.  You need to remove the color with a product like Color Fix first.  Using another color will not lift the dye that's already there.
I hope this helps.  Good luck!

That helps VERY much. Thank you.
I am trying to lift root color since my regrowth is darker than the color red I have now.

I think it is loreal...or maybe Clairol that has a line of High-lift reds...I used to use it on my hair which was a about a level 2...beautiful results.
