Getting Red Hair to Blonde

Last night was one of my final steps in getting the last of the red pigment out of my hair.  It's been quite a process- ladies, don't dye your hair red unless you are truly committed to be a rehead for a LONG time.  It is such a fun color, but the upkeep was insane and the pigment stays in your hair FOREVER.  

This was my hair in January- I'd say this was the height of my career as a redhead: 

And this was in April when I decided to slowly go back to blonde: 

And this was about a month ago when we really stepped up the blonde:

My stylist April at Pageboy Salon has been great at being conservative about getting me back to blonde.  She is great about not doing too much at one time to make sure my hair isn't damaged.  The last time we did more blonde and amped it up a little bit.  There was still A LOT of red and orange pigment underneath, and April made it her mission this last time to get it all out.  We did a light soapcap on the underneath portion of my hair where it was most red and then she weaved a highlight and lowlight into my entire head.  I told her I wanted a modern "cool" blonde, and nothing too bright or golden.  

 I am really pleased with the result- it's a cool blonde that isn't too bright. 

What do you all think?
