Sharing my journey of how I went from a dark, stubborn red to light blonde.

BREAKING DOWN THE PROCESS:
Please keep in mind that you may need to tweak a few things depending on how you went red, the condition of your hair, how porous it is, etc. Also, you can prevent a lot of damage by spreading each step out over a longer period of time. From start to finish, I did this in about 5 days, but I would suggest not doing it any quicker than that, and deep condition A LOT between each step!

STEP 1:
Products needed:
Color Oops http://www.amazon.com/ColorRemoverE...

Fade out as much red as you can by washing in hot water with either clarifying shampoo, Dawn dish soap, Head&Shoulders, etc. I suggest doing this as many times as you can.
Use a color remover. I used Color Oops. I did this twice, but the second time didn't seem to make much of a difference and just left my hair feeling extra dry.
Deep condition

STEP 2:
Products needed:
Ion High Lift Color (Cool Blonde) http://www.sallybeauty.com/hairdye/S...
30 Volume Developer http://www.sallybeauty.com/cremedeve...

Mix high lift color and developer (1 to 2 ratio)
Apply to midshaft and ends. Keep massaging in product and watch for color change. Leave on for about 25 minutes.
Apply to roots. Leave on for additional 20 minutes. Shampoo & Condition.
Deep condition

STEP 3:
Products needed:
Lightening Powder http://www.sallybeauty.com/PowderLig...
30 Volume Developer http://www.sallybeauty.com/cremedeve...
Shampoo of your choice (make sure it isn't a toning shampoo!)

Mix 1 part lightener with 1 part developer with 1 part shampoo
Apply all over. Keep massaging and watch color change.
Rinse out as soon as the color is gone. (I left it on for about 30 minutes).
Shampoo and deep condition
