I heard brown hair has red undertones. if I use a weak bleach could I get my dark brown hair to a na

I have dark brown biracial dry curly frizzy hair but I want to turn it into titian red biracial dry curly frizzy hair =) anyway, I know that bleaching the hair can wreak havoc on already dry, fragile hair so I was wondering if it was imperative for me to bleach all of the pigment out of my hair before I could add red, or if I could use a weak bleach that just lightens my hair a few shades and then add red? I also read in my research that all brunettes have red undertones in their hair so is there a way that I could remove the pigments that make it brown so that all that's left are the red pigments? Is that possible with bleach? Also, does anyone have any experience with Henna dying? Because i heard the color stays much longer and the treatment has conditioning properties and can help put a permanent gloss on hair and slightly loosen tight curls. I figured it would be better than normal hair dye but I'm not really sure. Any help would be much appreciated.

Henna is hard to get out of your hair !

I wouldn't reccomend using henna.. while it is sort of a more natural hair dye.. if you don't like the color when it's dyed with henna, its very difficult to fix.

If you bleach your hair to try to get it a red color, this should work.

Use a low dosage bleach like a 10 vol. I wouldn't reccomend using a 20 or 30 vol bleach because that will lift the color too much. Since your hair is curly and frizzy, it's gonna be prone to breakage when you bleach it no matter what. So use the least damaging bleach which would be the 10 vol.

This WILL NOT take you to a red color. this will take you to an orange color. But that's what the toner is for afterwards...keep reading, it's comin !

Put the bleach on and then check the color every 10 minutes to see how fast it is lightening up. Once it's as light as you want it rinse it off. Dry your hair and then put a toner on it to get it the color you want. If you just leave it bleached it's gonna be brassy ... so I would definitley fill it with a toner after. (Just a regular hair dye like Nice n Easy or Loreal Preference etc)

I would reccomend going to a hairstylist above all of this of course, but I know sometimes it's cheaper to do it yourself. Make sure you condition the hell out of it afterwards too !

noooo you will end up with copper coloured hair it won't look good you would have to dye over it to make it red and you should be really careful if you already have very dry hair. I would recommend leaving it the way it is and saving up a bit and having it done at the hair dressers.
