SFX Cherry Bomb back to natural dark brown

Hi all! I need a bit of help. I have been various shades of pink, purple and red all SFX for the past 3 plus years. I'd like to go back to my natural shade of dark brown. Without having to do a bleach bath if possible. I've been reading up on Adore in the threads on here and wondered if I could go that route. Any help you can give is greatly appreciated. The first pic is me right now. The other two are my natural color.

Adore is probably the best option to go brown but you'll want to fade the cherry bomb as much as possible or you'll have a strong red/pink tint. The only Adore brown I have experience with is Dark Chocolate which is a warm dark brown, it's very pretty but not a strong color at all.

Thanks spooki. I'm wondering if I just go ahead and do a bleach bath and it goes to the color that I did six weeks ago is in this picture below would it be OK to cover it up then with the adore dark chocolate?

You want some red left in to 'fill' before going darker. Browns fade very quickly on a bleached base otherwise.
Adores Medium brown is heavily ash (green)based which will neutralise the red/pink tones, then you could put a dark brown demi with a very low vol developer (less than 10 vol) over that
