Hi all :)
I've been growing my hair for about three years now. Before I even found LHC I had not lightened/highlighted my hair in many, many, many years (at least 17+ yrs or so.. I just went dark one day and never went blonde again) and since joining I haven't darkened it (demi dye) for at least a year+ now (not sure exactly how long but well over a year+) No reason really, I just stopped..
But now my hair is starting to drive me nuts. It's just boring! And I'm getting so tired of it.
I love the Ombre light-ish "bronde" color! A mix of brown and blonde..( my sis in law has it now) and I .WANT. IT :love:
But my dilemma in deciding is.. My natural hair carries a lot of red! My hair itself doesn't look all that red (at least to me) BUT it has a lot of red undertones. You can really see them when I'm in the sun, and if I remember correctly red is a biotch to get out. shudder: So I'm afraid that in trying to get a "bronde" color, it may be too damaging to get red out.
Does anyone have experience with getting natural red toned hair to go blonde/bronde without killing/frying it completely ( I would be going to my stylist I wouldn't be doing it at home)
These are similar to the colors I'm considering..

My hair color looks darker red in my siggy pic ... I guess because of the camera phone and being inside .. I have this pic.. It was taken about a year ago.. standing in the natural sunlight by my backdoor (no flash..and don't mind the air dryed frizz look..I didn't put any product in for the picture lol )..

The length appears darker than the top here, but since then it has lightened some and pretty much evened out with the rest (at least it looks it to me lol)
Do you think I can achieve this color without killing my hair?
I wouldn't mind losing a few inches if the ends needed it after...
Thanks all..and all opinions and advice are welcomed and appreciated :)
