Colouring advice?

Can you add a pic of your hair? You will need to use bleach if you want it lighter. There isn't enough lift in regular permanent dyes
There are products specifically for Asian Hair that bleach and colour in one step (basically high lift ash browns) that might be perfect for you.
Asian hair has a lot of pigment in it so it is difficult to lift, but you can achieve any colour you want (including blonde) with the right products

Thank you so much for replying though.
Honestly if I took a picture now it would only show black hair, and not the brown (ish) because it has to be at certain angle or with sunlight in it.
I want to list bleach out of the question. I just believe it's not worth it because if I do, I believe the orange/red pigment may come out more after bleaching on black hair?
Also I want a shade of Brown that suits my black hair and not too over the top. Making reapplication so much easier and simple.

Oooo I've heard of high lifts before, I've never tried them but I can't wait to try out the ash Brown one 🙂 ( if I did a blonde high lift imagine how effective it would be in making it Brown? :O Or if it really does turn my hair blonde that's the scary part)
Since the red/orangness is there (albeit very weak, as stated at the start) but would the chance of dying over it cause it to become another colour? If so, would I need a colour stripper, before trying any sort of dye?

There is no way of lightening hair without bleaching it, the permanent dyes you are using also bleach the hair, just not enough which is why your hair is still too dark.
Any dark hair will have orange tones when lightened, that is the natural pigment being revealed.
Blonde hi-lift is just bleach with a toner included. Brown hi-lift is bleach with an ash brown toner included. if you choose a hi-lift remember you can only use it once, and then on your re-growth. It is the same as bleaching and then applying an ash brown dye, just all in one step.
