It depends on the color and how long you leave it on. If it is very dark,it can be brought to a blonde after like,60-90 minutes. Every hair is different though,so you are supposed to check the color by wiping a couple strands of hair off. What is your current color? And what is the color of the highlights you'd like to go to? The box usually has a time frame of how long to leave it on depending on what you want. |

Here are photos: Current color -  Desired color -  I don't want it to lift to a platinum, which I've had happen (but I wanted it to) in the past. I want to keep warm, just move up __? (1?) levels |

Well,follow instructions on the box,definitely. Because your hair is already red,it shouldnt take THAT long to lift to a warm blonde. I would say between 10-20 minutes tops...but just do a strand test. If it isnt light enough leave on another 5-10 minutes and just keep checking until you reach the color you want. My hair is a medium/light brown...and the highlight box said to leave on a max of 90 minutes! It only took 20 minutes for it to a blonde color,so it may be even less for you.Of course depending on hair type,how porous it is and stuff. |
