The best thing to do is go to a stylist and request that she apply effesus to your hair. You can't buy it without a license so you'd have to go to a salon. But if you want to do something at home, try washing your hair with Tide laundry detergent. It takes the color out. It probably won't take it out completely (it depends on how dark your hair is now and how light you want it to be) but it will fade it quite a bit. Wash it several times. After that, if the color is still too dark, wait a few days and go to a beauty supply store (like Sally Beauty, etc) and get some powder bleach. It comes in different tints - blue (for cool tone), gold (for warm tone) and purple i think. If you want to go blonde you might try the gold. It will lighten the color and tint it a bit golden. But if your blonde color always comes out too brassy, you might use the blue instead. It will counteract your blonde coming out too brassy. If you're not sure, get the gold tint and ask the salesperson to get you a "red/gold corrector" that you can add into your bleach. They'll know what that is. It just keeps color from getting too red or gold. Then apply the bleach according to the manufacture's directions. You might have to bleach it more than once. If so, wait a few days in between to make sure your hair doesn't break off or get too damaged. Hope this helps!
