    Well my hair is naturally blonde and I died my hair a few different colors before I went completely black. When I decided to go back to blonde it was a LONG process. I had to strip it twice, then I had to dye it blonde twice. Then strip it again. At one point during the 3 days process my hair was about 7 different shades. Then I decided to dye it a light brown (to match one of the shades in my hair) and waited for it to grow back out into it's normal color. Growing out from light brown to blond was a lot better than growing out from black to blonde. As I said, it took a while. And my hair was fried for at least a year.

    Well I got a wig about a few days ago and it looks really natural so I might just have to wear that and let the colour fade and then go light brown and work it from there.

    In order to go blonde, you will need to lighten your hair with bleach and the apply a toner. This is known as a double process (bleaching and toning). This hair color process may irritate your scalp and damage your hair if it's not done correctly. I do not recommend using harsh chemicals on your hair since you suffer from alopecia because it could make matters worse. Please check with your doctor before having any chemical processing done on your hair.

    OK well is it OK as I'm kind of really red right now if I just dye it brown with a peremenant dye, and I only suffered from alopecia because when I dyed my hair black I was redoing it like every two weeks with permanent dyes but I've been usuing semi-permanent dyes for some months now so is it OK and will a dark brown cover the red?

    Yes, a dark brown hair color will cover the red tones in your hair. But you should be careful when you use hair dyes.

    Well I'm going to have to use a permanent because a semi-permenant won't cover the red... will it? I was thinking of just leaving it a few weeks and try and get the red as dull as I can, also I have hair stuff from lush that's good for your scalp, and also getting it cut this week.

    A semi permanent color covers the surface of the hair shaft and doesn't damage the hair. Semi permanent colors washes out in 6-12 shampooos, or may last up to 26 shampoos. A permanent color is permanent, and can cause damage to the hair. It won't wash out until your hair grows out, but the color will gradually fade over time. Choose a haircoloring product that's right for you. Good luck.
