SFX Red to Dark Blue?

Post by Amb3r » Mon Aug 25, 2008 1:05 am

I've had a bright red underlayer for about 2 years now and it's time for a change since everyone and their mom is doing the whole red thing in my area.

Right now it's a faded, gross looking orange-red, due to me washing it so much. My hair responds really well to bleach and I've always done it myself. I've just never bleached my hair light enough in order for it to take a blue.
My question is should I use a 10 vol bleach system and leave it on longer in order to get the red/orange out? What is the best way for me to go about this?

I've had blue before in my fringe (before the red underlayer, I had a bright red fringe) that I just dyed over my faded, orange hair but it didn't last so long.

You should probably use a 20vol if you're trying to salvage the condition of your hair. Red is so tricky to get out of the hair and I fear you could be waiting forever with a 10vol.
