Serious hair dye help!!!
My hair has been bleached all over about 5 times in the last 4 years and I have dyed it with semi and permanent brown hair dyes from nice and easy and loreal casting creme gloss and also have used colour remover to attempt to remove the brown dye but my hair then turned a brassy orange.
I’ve dyed my hair 2 months ago ash brown which has turned out a darker brown and its lighter at the roots.
My natural colour is a grey, light ashy blonde and I want to dye my hair blonde.
Should I use a colour remover then lightener and then light blonde hair dye or can someone please help me and explain what I can do because I need it done before next Wednesday x also cutting my hair isn’t an option except for a trim x

Have you thought of going to a salon? I know they would be able to put the color you want in your hair.. Have you checked out the price for each salon? I usually go for the cheaper price one or if you know of any really good ones near you..

The brassy orange is normal. Lightening hair requires stripping color out and then applying a toner. The light ends are because the cuticle is blown out from constant coloring and bleaching the only fix is to cut them off or live with lighter color. The grey can be toned out but without seeing the actual color I cannot say if pale blond is a choice. You really need to go to a salon.

i would suggest a salon. As someone who is professionally trained but really strict on multiple processing, I really think what you are asking for would be best processed in a salon.

I’ve been through a really similar hair situation, so I totally get the stress, especially when you’re racing against a deadline! After multiple rounds of bleaching and dyeing, your hair kind of builds up layers of artificial pigment that make going lighter really unpredictable. From what you’ve described (especially the uneven tone and brassiness), I wouldn’t recommend jumping straight into lightener again without toning in between, because you’ll likely end up with a patchy result.
A safer route might be using a gentle color remover again just to lift out any leftover darker dye, but be prepared, it might bring back that orangey base. From there, you could tone it using something violet- or blue-based to cancel the brassiness before trying any light blonde dye. Also, watch out for the root area lifting faster than the ends that happens often when the roots are “virgin” and the ends are over processed.
If you’re doing this at home, take it step by step and really deep condition between processes. I personally had better luck doing it gradually over a few weeks and treating my hair well in between. One brand that’s worth checking out is <strong data-start=”1383″ data-end=”1409″>Five Star Barber Brand, they’ve got some really helpful info and pro-level haircare products that cater to stressed, processed hair. I found some solid tips and essentials for maintaining hair health while lightening here: https://fivestarbarberbrand.com/.
If you’re not ready to commit to a full salon visit, even a consultation could be a game changer, they’ll help map out a safer approach based on what your hair can handle. Good luck! Hope you get the look you’re aiming for before Wednesday!
