How far can I go without getting red tones?

I n the near future(Mar.) I will be cutting off my relaxed hair and sporting a curly twa. I would really like to lighten it to a light golden brown. Currently I dye my hair jet black. Is golden brown too far to go without totally ruining my hair and ending up with brassy red and orange tones.

What is your natural color?

3A hair; coloring with henna/indigo since July 2009; normally follow the CG method. Still searching for my HG products!
:arrow: Hopefully someone will come by soon that knows more than I know.
From reading this BB and others, I gather that hair color will not lift hair color. You are probably going to have to remove some of the black color, either by something like ColorFix or bleach, before you can do anything else.
Lightening non-color treated hair is much easier than lightening color treated hair.

lf the TWA is all "virgin" hair maybe you could use a medium ash blond instead but the resulting shade could have some copper in it as when very dark hair lightens it has a lot of red pigment in it.
