Using bleach baths to go dark/mid brown to blonde?

 
(@Bombadil)

Has anybody done it?

I'm debating whether to full bleach once, and then use bleach baths to gradually work my way up. Or just do bleach baths instead until I can get as light as I want to be.

I don't mind if it takes a while - I can always use 'toner' to take the edge of the brassiness - but I'd like an idea of how long it would take/how often I could bleach bath?

Just that I don't have anyone to help me, and I have quite a bit of virgin regrowth, plus stupid thick hair and I don't know if I could get an even coverage through a full bleach.

Thanks

You say you have virgin regrowth, so does that mean the rest is dyed brown? If so start by using a colour remover, it will really help. Trying to bleach out dark dyes usually results in a lot of banding and brighter orange tones, by getting the old colour out first the lightening process is much easier.

Sorry, I should have said I have used a colour remover already. My natural colour is a darkish mousy brown and the rest is now reddish mid brown.
