upgrade or downgrade?

so, i had black hair. and i got sick of it, like everyone else. so, i went to sally and got some powder bleach and some developer for step one and a bottle of lighter brown for step two and went to town. i had never bleached my own hair before, so i was a bit iffy, and i didn't realize the texture would be so shitty and powdery. whatevz. so anyway, after letting the bleach sit for about 45 minutos, i shampoo'd it out, and fucking LOVED IT. it was about 40398727 shades of red/brown/dark blonde and i decided to keep it that way.

all i'm wondering is. . upgrade or downgrade?
