Let me start from the beginning: when I was younger I had dirty blonde hair that turned blonde in the summer. As I got older, my hair got darker. So I tried my mothers trick, lightning your hair with hydrogen peroxide and sitting in the sunshine. And that worked beautifully (Yay)! But I am a easily bored teenage girl, with the big and wonderful idea to dye my hair back to my natural color (Do you sense my sarcasm?), which by now was a ashy light brown. But that is a story for another day. I ended up with auburn hair, and I loved it! But the inevitable happened... Dun dun dun... I really miss my blonde hair. I read that vitamin C can light dyed hair. But I'm afraid since I have reddish hair, it will turn it a weird orange color. What do you ladies think? P.S dyeing it again is out of the question.
Here is a picture of what my hair color looks like:

Honestly, this probably isn't what you want to hear, but it just isn't going to be possible for your hair to be blonde without dying. You could try a lightning shampoo and conditioner though. (:

Yaira D. I used "One 'n Only again oil hair color in 3 C Dark copper brown." with the same brand developer in volume 20. It was a lot more red when I first dyed but it has faded to this color.

@Kenna S. So you don't think it's a good idea to try the vitamin C?

If you use an anti dandruff shampoo eventually it will remove the hair dye, but use it every other day with a good conditioner.

Honestly you look nice with the hair you have now you don't want to start damaging your hair with dyes (lady who knows your story) I went back blonde and it's a pain stay with your hair colour it really suits you.

The chemical in the anti dandruff removes the color from the hair.
