Hey dolls :) currently my hair is red and I've been thinking about bleaching it and making it lavender, I'll post a picture below. do you think it'll suit me? I feel like it might wash me out. while I have you here, what's some ways to bleach with as little damage as possible? with the coconut oil trick?

You'll have to bleach your hair to basically white (level 10) doing that from red is incredibly difficult, even as a colourist it gives me trouble because getting warm tones out of the hair takes a while. You'll most likely have to process it more than once, and there's no way of doing that without serious damage - even with the coconut oil trick. My suggestion is to go to a salon that uses Olaplex. It's a bond rebuilder, so as your hair processes it prohibits your hair from breaking so much. If you try to do it yourself you're likely to run into problems, and can seriously ruin your hair.

Getting rid of red coloredhair is hard. If you are sure you want to do it, keep in mind that your hair will be damaged. Here are my suggestions: Wash your hair with clarifying shampoo to strip out most of the color, use a color remover when you hair gets to an orangy color. Then use blue based color bleach with 20 vol peroxide, you need to add a color corrector and if you can get olaplex get it. don't try to lighten your hair in one session. Bleach your hair every week until you get the color you want, do deep conditioning treatment after bleaching. picture of color remover and olaplex dupe.

I would also definitely recommended looking into some deep conditioning treatments too because your hair will definitely become dry due to lightening it multiple times!
