My hair is box dyed blonde and I want the colour breaking up. Please can you tell me what treatment I should be looking for. Also please can anyone recommend a good hairdresser in Leicestershire.
Thank you!

You could get some low lights to add some contrast.

Box dyed blonde tends to be brassy. You'll probably be recommended low light/or high and low lights and then a toner.

Look online for the colour you want and show that to the hairdresser. It might take a couple of treatments to get the colour you want. A lot will depend on the condition of your hair.

Post a picture of your hair op.
I would ask the hairdresser to strip all the box dye out they possible could and start there.

Blonde hair is bleached, there isn't colour to strip out.

I'd say lowlights to break it up and then a toner if you fancy. It doesn't look brassy at all.

@Sparrowball thanks, I just think it may look better not so solid, what colours do you think I should add?

I don't know the names of colours, but your hairdresser should be able to recommend a cool or warm toned lowlight based on your skin tone. A toner isn't essential, it's just used to add a slight tone over high and low lights.

I'm not sure if you can continue with box dyes once you have low lights though, so check maintenance costs before you commit.
