Stopping highlights to natural hair colour

Hello,

Can anyone advise on moving from highlighted blonde hair back to natural brown?

I’ve had blonde highlights for over 10 years in my medium brown hair. T section with blended roots to soften regrowth. I like it, and I find being lighter blends the greys well, and adds some texture to my fine hair. However, it is expensive (I only go every 4 months but it does add up) and I’m also keen for a change. My natural brown is a nice colour - cool ashy brown tones.

I’ve got an appointment next week. How do I go about changing it? Is it best to blend in brown low lights through for a gradual transition? Or do I go for an all over colour in the salon? Or even risk a box dye?

Also, how would I manage the grey once it’s brown. Is it easy enough to do at home? When I’ve used box dyes in the past I find they often have red undertones which isn’t my vibe - but perhaps that was my poor choice of colour!

Appreciate any tips!

Bumping for the evening crowd. Any hair experts? 😊
