Hello all, been lurking for a while but wanting to get some advice please!
Bare with me, might be a bit drawn out.. ;D
So I've always been a natural brunette, very dark brown hair. In 2014 I really fancied having a go at going platinum, but given my natural colour I decided to go to a salon for this. They were actually really good and over the course of a couple of months I actually managed to get close enough to my desired colour to be happy. I also researched maintaining it myself properly and became pretty confident handling my own touch-ups/roots etc.
Anyway, a year ago I decided to go back to dark brown. However, you've guessed it.. *boo*
I really miss my old look and want to go back again. I feel happy enough to give it a pop myself, but am wondering if I should opt for a colour remover before bleaching? Also, if I do go down this route first, how long til I can bleach after using the colour remover?
Any tips or advice would be awesome! *thx*

Yep!

At least a week washing it often. You might find there's a bit of staining though, but it's impossible to know until you try. You can do up to three though and you don't need to wait in between. They can be drying, so have a good deep
conditioner to hand for afterwards. Oh, and rinse for longer than they say and with water as hot as you can stand.
