I'm sorry to hear what happened. First, too much ammonia can destroy your hair. What kind of red did you want? Something bright and pow! Or a like a deep burgundy? If you wanted something bright looking I'll suggest you first bleach your hair, to make it very light, but not necessarily blonde. Work your way from tip to roots, remember the roots are very delicate so they tend to react to the ammonia much much faster than the tips. After lightening your hair then you can rinse it with the red color, hence rinse, just to see if that's the color you want, if it is, go back to the beauty store and tell them you want the permanent color to the one you are wearing now(keep the bottle). I cannot see your hair so I will suggest you get it darker something with little or no ammonia so it can heal then start again in a month or so. You don't want to damage your hair by dying it over and over again.
