I loathe this color- its fading out to a weird red brown- ugly ugly.

In my experience, trying to bleach out red turns your hair baby pink. Which can then be covered up by dark brown. (This was all done by a professional, BTW)

I am a natural medium/dark brunette. I had blond hair for a while, decided to dye it red, got sick of it and wanted to go blond again. My hair was so porous from going blond that the red "stuck". I ended up having my hair cut super short (ala Isabella Rossellini) and dyed back to my original color.

Maybe it comes out better if you start with naturally blond hair.
