I really want ombré but clueless!

[cupcake34]

Hi everyone, so I'm totally not used to this side of salon seek as I'm a spa therapist however I wanted some advice before I pop to the hair dressers and make a fool out of myself. Basically I have thick dark hair and have been growing it for a while now, it does tend to get quite dry most likely from box dyes so always use masks, serums etc but from nov-feb I was constantly using red box dyes and a month ago I just used a dark Brazil brown to try hide the red (I know box dyes are terrible) but now I really want to go ombré so my ends are light, not sure if possible so wanted to check with you guys first before going to the salon and being an idiot and I have no idea if id even suit the ombré I'm just very bored with my hairstyle. I'll attach a photo, please excuse the mirror selfie, was the only recent photo I could find as you can see is still a hint of red in there just feel clueless and sorry if this is the wrong forum

When you go into the salon make sure they take a strand test so both you and the hairdresser can see what colour/how light you will be able to achieve. If your hair is in good condition it will lift, probably not to a very light blonde but maybe to a darker caramel colour. I think it would look nice a darker caramel/light brown colour on the ends. Hope that helps x
