It's your basic hair question. How do I get from a dark colour to a lighter one

To be honest, the only way for you to do this is strip or bleach your hair. Black and red are the hardest colors to take from your hair. If you go messing around with premanent blond dyes, it will make no difference only severlely damage your hair. Trust me I've been there, I'm in the same situation right now trying to get to honey blonde from a reb-brown color. I've been told bleach is the only way to go :(
Sorry if I'm no help X
