Ooh this could be a little tricky. The only way to get this out would be by bleaching it till it goes to the blonde shade you want. But you might need to bleach it a few times, because of all the dye, it builds up into the hair, and all those layers need to be stripped out along with your natural colour.

Please, please do visit a colourist to do this for you. X

Red is a tricky color. Red is the quickest color to fade however red is the hardest to get rid of. And now that you havw grown alot of it out you have to becareful that you dont end up with different tones. The first thing you need to do is figure out how light you want your golden blonde? Then figure out do you want it all over or highlights? If you were in my chair I would do a strand test to determine how light I can get it or if I can get it to determined level. Also remember this might take more than once to do. I would personally go to a professional and get a consaltatioin first. Then you will know where you stand. Good luck
