cassidy is that your natural colour, it looks like you have put an auburn colour on, if so, and if you bleach it yourself, you will go ORANGE. If you must go blonde, do it gradually and just have a few highlights, then you can see if you like it. Not everyone goes 'blonde' with bleach, if you have a red base in your hair, your hair will go gingery eventually. If you bleach too highly for a 'white' look your hair will be in very bad condition, very dry. Don't go completely blonde! It will ruin your hair and will not suit your skin colour. Get some advice at some local hairdressers before you take the plunge, and use a hairdresser you have a good gut feeling about. Show us the photo afterwards !
