I toyed with the idea of going red a while back and the pro said red is difficult to remove so advised me not to do it. With permanent hair colour the pigment is penetrating the hair shaft and replacing your own. I don't think you can remove the colour to get back to your own as it's been replaced. I think the only way is to either colour over the top (but not using bleach as that'll turn your hair orange) or use temporary colour on your roots until you have enough uncoloured hair to make a change by not touching up your roots and having a chop.

However, I could be wrong!
