As everyone knows my hair is red and I have to bleach it because I don't like the red anymore so I was wondering how many times will I need to bleach my hair before I can dye it? I'm dying it this color. And due to low budget I don't have enough to get it done at the salon so I'm forced to do it myself also what should I do to make my hair the healthiest after I bleach it?? Thank you so much this is the color.

Also how long should I wait in between each bleaching session?

I'd say maybe twice before you can dye it!
And deep conditioning it, hair masks, coconut or moroccan oil treatments, cutting off your ends after you bleach it aswell!
That colour will look very lovely on you!☺️
Goodluck!! 💕

I'd say 1 month, you don't want to fry your hair!! Thats the only thing that sucks about going lighter, it takes an eternity and lots of patience 😩

Thank you so much ladies!! I so wish I could go to a pro but it's like over $100 for that plus 47$ for color plus it has highlights lol it's so expensive! So I'm forced to do it myself I may look into finding a place that may be able to do it cheaper but I'm not sure it exsist lol.

Before you do anything with bleach you should wash your hair repeatedly with dawn dish soap because it strips hair color from the hair, go to Sally's and get a soak cap, it has a mixed ratio of bleach and shampoo that you let sit in your hair, after you use it you will need to tone it to even it out, if you need to you can buy a filler for your hair to make sure the porosity of your hair is even and the color will come out how you want it to, the people at Sally's should help you get the products you need, good luck!

What Courtney said will work to get some of the dye out but you should always bleach/dye hair with dirty hair. You're going to need your natural oils in your hair to help reduce the damage the bleach is going to do I went from a darker red than you currently have now and I've bleached my hair once with 30vol and once with 20vol and this is how my blonde is when it's untoned. I'm very impatient when dying my hair so between bleaches I really just waited until my hair felt able to take another bleach (3-5) days with lots of deep conditioning treatments. When I bleached my hair the first time most of my hair was yellow but my regrowth had held a lot of the red and was a pinky red colour (which is why I needed to bleach again) after that I used my lee Stafford purple shampoo on dry hair for an hour to get it to a whiter shade of blonde with less orange/yellow tones. :) hope that helped.

Save yourself a headache and get a color remover like l'oreal color zap. The. Work from there (orange)

Ok thank you so much ladies I will get the color zap and do that and then I will bleach my main goal is to try and get the color out as much as possible to hopefully only have to bleach it once! Omg I'm so scared ugh I wish I could go to a pro I will probably cry lol I soooo regret this red but I had black hair before it so either way I would've had to bleach it.

Bleaching is so rough on hair. I'd be sure to get a great cut after and keep up with microtrims and deep conditioning. avoiding heat whenever possible Good luck!
