What's the best way to go for a drastic colour change?

I think I want to change my hair colour to bright red! I have blue / grey eyes, cool skin tones, pale and pink, oval face and my natural colour is a dull light brown-dark blonde! I want a drastic change so could you also tell me what style you think would work best too please?

How do I turn my hair from a dark shade to a natural-looking blonde?

My colour is currently a dark chocolate brown. What would it take to go completely blonde? Not a superficial, all-over blonde, but like Mischa Barton's hair in The O.C., though my ideal colour would be lik Giselle Bündchen’s hair. How does one achieve that colour / look?

How do I lighten my hair without causing damage to its condition?

Bye bye red?
