How to get from Red-pink/purple to blue?? Stuck!

Hi all! My hair is currently verrrryyy faded, but still bright Sfx deep purple over hair that was previously bleached and then covered with an auburn permanent box dye (dummy, I know...) I am wanting to get quite a bit of manic panic's voodoo blue into my hair. I left in head and shoulders/dish soap/honey/olive oil in my hair for an hour and it didn't really budge.

How do I lighten this to be enough for blue? Do I need to bleach bathe it?

I'll upload a current picture asap.

Thanks!!

Attached are two pictures of what my hair currently looks like. What do I do?

I would try a colour remover, it will shift the old permanent dye as well, so you should get close to your original bleached base.
I think One & Only Colorfix is the preferred American brand, although you can get Colour B4 in the states now.

Thanks! I'll have to give that a go and see what it comes out to.

If the previous bleached color is a bit orangey/red, will it still work well?

No, you need a blonde base for blue. You may still have to do a light bleaching, but it will be much safer to do the colour remover first.
