Stripper or bleach bath, that is the question?

[KJ hair design]

Hello all,
I have a lady who is well into her 60's. She has been having a red colour all over with a little mix of her own home cocktails from boots etc and now wants to back to her natural colour which is grey!
I have never had much luck with stripping hair with colour strippers, can anyone give me some advice please?
Many thanks

I think it'l be hard to get her back to grey but think a de-colour like rusk elimin8 will be better than bleach xx

Thank you Emma, I use rusk colours and I love them. So if it won't go to grey what colour do you think it will go?

I think bleach may take the hair White but not 100% sure xx

A color eraser like rusk elimin8 will just erase so much red and will have to be repeated around 3 times to erase most of the red. However, you won't be left with grey hair. You will almost certainly be left with a warm muddy color.

You may have to erase several times, then strip the rest out with bleach baths ect.

Personally, I would leave her hair to fade, then suggest constant demi-permanent or semi colors until her grey hair has grown out.
