Dying hair

When I go home next weekend my Mum is helping me to do my hair. I'm naturally dark brown. I'm bleaching and dying part of it bright colour (pink, purple, blue - depends what I fancy/can find in town). Only problem is, my hair is sort of reddy colour at the moment, remnants from past colouring. It will look weird if I leave it as it is, then dye it, because red+pink/purple/blue will look rather terrible.
So my question: will I be ok to do a brown box dye all over it, to get rid of the red (and for a 6-8 week dye, its been holding up well for a good 3-4 months, so leaving it to fade isn't working) and then bleach and recolour it next weekend? I'll only be doing it the same colour as my hair is naturally, so when it grows through it will look normal.

with careful separation (and an extra pair of hands) you could bleach your chunk and dye the rest of your hair at the same time.
does a brilliant job. plus the dyes from this company are great too and are very bright and last a while.
Shite. I've already done it now
Hopefully will be ok though. If I look like a prat or something goes a bit wrong I shall be wearing hats for a while.
it won't make you look stupid. it'll just make it a little harder for the bleach to lift the colour, so you might have to bleach a couple of times and condition lots more.
no biggie
