I really need advice on how i go about stripping my 'cosmic blue' live color xxl out of my hair to then achieve my desired color of a light brown, maybe a caramel sort of color.

it's only been this color for a matter of weeks and today i just used another live color xxl lightner but it literally did nothing apart from make it a bit more greyish.

my hair appears to be very resistant to the black/blue for some reason and fades extremely fast. i've dyed my hair loads over the past 4 years or so, all sorts of colors and i would say the condition isn't too bad.

i can't afford the salon right now and they probably wouldn't strip it for 'safety reasons' last time i dyed it too dark i stripped it with a loreal color and it went orange and i dyed it brown and it was fine. One, i can't remember what i used. and two i keep reading how bad this is for your hair.

everyone says how bad it is for your hair but i know i've messed around with my hair loads and its been fine. just getting scared it has to remain this awful greyish/browny/bluey colour for much longer. and is there a quick way of stripping it and then dying it my desired color straight after, and what stripper should i use? or should i bleach it?

thanks
