Changing colour help!

Hi guys, hopefully I've posted this in the right place!

My hair is currently brightish red and I want to change to maybe purple or blue. My hair is naturally very dark brown but has been dyed quite a lot. I used a hi lift red with 30 vol developer & I now want to change colour, I presume if I colour b4'd my hair my roots (got about 3/4 inch growth at the mo) would be a lot darker than the lengths? So my question is, will I have to bleach my roots? Because I've never actually bleached my lengths just used a hi lift!

Hope that makes sense & someone can help!

Yes, colour remover, then bleach the roots is what i would do. You will need a light blonde base for blue, so you may also need to lightly bleach the lengths, depending on how light they are after the hi-lift. (If you used it repeatedly with 30 vol they are likely to be quite blonde once the red is out)

See how light your hair is after the colour remover. Leave your roots if you don't want to bleach them. If you are using hi-lift dyes you have already been bleaching your hair, they are the strongest and most damaging products on the market
