    I need to even out my hair color
    Hi.to start,I have waist-long deep reddish brown color hair.I have had my hair relaxed every year from 2004 to 2007.on march of 2008 and 2009,I had it rebonded and cellophaned with reddish brown color.now I got so tired of the color I decided to dye it myself.I used garnier 100% hair color last July with medium brown color,but it did nothing to my hair.it just lighten it a little bit with a very little hint of brown in it.so I waited a month to dye it again.just today I dyed it using garnier 100% hair color medium natural blonde shade.I left it for almost 75minutes thinking that it will help my resistant hair be covered with the dye.and again,it failed.my hair from root to 1 inch of its length turned color blonde red and the rest stayed as it is--reddish black brown.now my hair looked like I was covering up for gray/white hair because of the uneven color.I can't wait another month to dye it again because I freakin look like an old woman trying to hide her graying/whitening hair.please help me.is it a bad choice to use garnier or is it a bad choice to even dye my hair when it was rebonded last march 2009? What should I do?I was thinking of buying a bleaching agent tomorrow to bleach my hair.will it be okay?please help me.I am kind of tightening my belt so I am not very much willing to spend hundreds of dollars to go to a salon.help please ASAP because I have to go to an important affair this Thursday and I can't risk going there looking like this. :( PLEASE HELP ME>> THANK YOU SO MUCH..

    Color doesn't lift color! It must be removed w bleach or modulate! See colorist! Ps if your just depositing color and are not making it lighter? No need2wait a month! You can do it immediately afterward! Depositing doesn't hurt your hair!lightening hurts your hair! So color a bit darker to even out if you can't do salon!
