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
