Even if you aren't in a position to make this big change at this point, that doesn't mean you can't make plans. Look forward to summer and the changes that can improve your appearance. Here are a few things you should consider before dyeing your hair from red to blonde if you want to achieve the ideal shade of blonde.
What shade of blonde would you like to wear?
There is an endless variety of shades of blonde, just as there is a wide variety of red hair colors. Which shade of blonde describes you best: strawberry, platinum or another hair color? Search for various inspirations on the Internet, but first take a look at our before and after pictures!
Bleaching is an absolute must
Bleaching is a must if you want to go from red to blonde or any other color you can imagine. Before you decide on a shade of blonde and a bleaching procedure, you should consult your colorist for advice.
Coloring from red to blonde – several sessions are required
To go from a lighter shade of red to a stunning shade of blonde, a single salon visit probably won't be enough, no matter how light your hair is. Bleach can cause serious damage to the hair and scalp if used excessively. If you split the coloring process into two sessions, you can save your hair the agony.

Choose highlights or balayage as a moderate solution
If you're still not satisfied after many sessions, highlights are an excellent option to achieve a baby blonde look. They can really make your color scheme pop. For a carefree, beach-inspired look, try sprinkling babylights into your curls. You can also experiment with styles that mix red and blonde if you want to have fun and experiment with your hair color.
A red-blonde ombré, a more subtle red hair withblonde highlights or a balayageare all options you can consider.
Decide whether you want to do it yourself, hire a professional, or do both. It is possible to do hair care and hair coloring at home. However, going blonde, especially of a reddish hue, isn't easy, as many experts can attest. If you want a new hair color, you can either visit a salon or do it yourself at home.
- Note the following:Bleaching can be a real challenge, even for experienced hair dyers. If that's the case, it's best to leave it to the experts. You can make one at homeget a blonde colorafter you have had the color removed at the salon.
Proper hair care for bleached hair
Caring for your blonde hair at home is just as important as caring for any other hair color. Using purple shampoo and conditioner helps prevent brassiness and color fading by balancing unwanted orange or yellow undertones.
- Important tip:It usually takes a lot of strength to go from red to blonde hair. Hair breakage is common with this hairstyle, so keep that in mind. Reduce the number of times you wash your hair and reduce heat treatment to keep your hair healthy from roots to tips. Use a good hair mask and/or conditioner often!
@colorwithkelseyHow to go from red to BLONDE ▪️Slice ALL of the hair. ▪️Don’t rush the process. Foiling alone took me 2 hrs. ▪️Rinse the back 1st. ▪️Because my client had been red for so long there was banding & uneven lifting throughout all of her hair (typical when doing a color correction). ▪️I pulled the bleach through at the bowel and let the hair process a bit longer without being in a foil. ▪️TONING IS EVERYTHING‼️#colorwithkelsey #colorcorrection #colorcorrectionhair #ocsalon #ocstylist #ochairstylist #colorcorrectionspecialist #colorcorrecting #redtoblonde #redken #olaplex #schwarzkopf #blackheadusa ♬ Say My Name (feat.
