Has anyone successfully dyed their hair from bleach blonde to copper red ?

I've tried it a couple of times over the past few years and it's always ended in disaster. First time it ended up going pillar box red and I looked like a spot (my hair is a pixie cut) and the second time the colour just ran out of it in a matter of weeks. I'm thinking I'll probably need to let the blonde grow out and then go to the hairdressers ? I grudge paying the money though as I currently get a £10 trim every 5 weeks and bleach and tone it myself.

I love this style and colour. My hair is a bit shorter and very light blonde. I'm getting tired of the upkeep and would love for my hair to have a bit of a shine and look in better condition.

That's a lovely haircut. I used to have long highlighted hair, and decided to dye it myself a copper colour and really liked it, and it worked really well. That was about three years ago, so can't remember the colour Confused try, maybe an auburn colour? I have a peroxide pixie, but still love it at the mo.

I know, every time I think about changing my hair someone will say that they like it ! I don't want to go too dark though, that was the problem before I was either too red red or too dark auburn. Want a nice firey (is that a word) copper colour but think I'll need to let the peroxide grow out completely. I was 40 last year and am thinking that the peroxide look is getting a bit ageing on me.

What about a warm copper blond shade?

I did it in the past. First I did a fill colour of a neutral brown, just using the colour without the developer, then dyed it red.
A very helpful sales assistant gave me advice and the right dyes.
Could you find someone helpful in boots or similar
