Temporary Dye - Blonde to Red?

Hi guys,
I've been thinking of trying mid-dark red but I currently have mid-light blonde hair which is highlighted/dyed at the roots every 2 months or so. I should naturally be light brown but have actually not had to dye a whole head of hair for years and years - I just highlight the roots.
I have been reading horror stories of never being able revert back blonde and red dye ruining hair and wanted to know if there is a wash in wash out variation I could try. I'm a teacher so I can't really afford to have a massive muck up of my hair, especially if it doesn't suit me. I have quite pale skin too and am hoping this might enhance my look but if I end up looking washed out because of it then I wanted to be able to get rid of it!
Thanks for any advice in advance.

Or do strand tests.
Having said that, there are those Wella colours you can get. I think that's what they are. Really cheap, called shaders and toners, wash in wash out. Not sure if they're meant to be used to try a complete colour change though.
So go to the hairdressers

Also be aware that blonde back from red tends to go via orange. Trust me, it's not a good way to do it.
