Want to change bleached hair to brunette

[ranoutofquinoaandprosecco]

Long story lost hair due to chemo, grew back salt and pepper was working towards a platinum pixie cut then lockdown struck.

Visited the hairdressers pixie cut back in and she bleached as requested but it's like going back to step one as it's new hair as such rather than bleaching already bleached hair and I think I want to go back to being a brunette.

So, the question is can you colour over bleach or do I need to wait for it to grow out?

Think you need to add red first then brown

Thank you, would you go red for a bit and then brown or do it in one go?

I went blonde then added a light plum colour then medium red brown.

I mean a colour with red tones not using an actual red hair dye

Not exactly the same, but I had a bleached pixie just before lockdown. It started growing out looking very strange, as I had sort of stripe where the roots grew out at the top of my head and at the bottom as well, where it was growing out along my neck. Was not a good look!

I used a box dye over mine, in my natural colour (dark blonde) and it came out really well. Even my hairdresser said it looked natural. I may have been lucky, and also maybe wasn't going for a huge change in colour as I went from blonde to blonde.

I went from bleached blonde back to my natural dark brunette colour, it was absolutely fine. I didn't have to dye it any other colour first. I did feel that it faded quite quickly so I re-dyed it and never had to do it again. Not dyed it now for
Over 13 years.
