How do I lighten my highlighted/colored hair?

Hi there! I last had my hair colored professionally in January (6 months ago). I had it colored very close to my natural shade (dark brown) and had some blonde/caramel highlights put in. I now have 2+ inches of roots. I'd like to lighten all of my hair so I could color it a lighter red brown shade, but I know that even though my hair is colored the same color as my roots, it won't lift evenly. What is the best way to get a uniform lighter shade on my half-colored hair?





PS - I'm not too worried about covering the highlights - if the show up, fine, but I'm assuming they'll start to blend in once my hair is lightened.How do I lighten my highlighted/colored hair?
i would highlight ur roots with the brush then dye it the colour you want

always go to the salon !! but if you are gonna do it yourself Sally's has a hair color that is made to lighten dark hair ! the problem is your hair will for sure be lighter at the roots from where you don't have any other hair color .... if you really really wanna chance it walmart sells hair color similar to the one at sally to lighten dark hair ... but when you use a box color you never know what is gonna happen ....
If your gonna go the Red route I would definitely go with a reddish brown color if you would like to cover the highlights. Maybe a Chestnut is a lighter brown red but will stay and will cover over your highlights and lighten as well
well, dye your hair dark to make hair color even again..then bleach it and dye it a lighter color i guess. lol
Having a professional either strip or bleach it. I'd suggest stripping, and not in that sense.
you should get the colour stripped, then get the colour you want over the top.
You have gorgeous long hair


I think u should avoid using chemicals on ur hair .. hair dye is a hair killer... keep it naural and see what happens
My gf made the same.I could ask her,but im sure someone will tell you untill then.
GO TO THE SALON. DUH
