    If you do anythign too harsh it would damage your hair. The fastest and easiest way (tha tI know of) to get it back to the natrual color is to dye it back. If it was dark, then it will do one of two things, it will either completely hide all of the blonde, or it will fade with time and you'll have to re-dye it. It might be okay to find one that's a shade or two darker than your original so that way if it fades, it will be closer to your real color.

    Otherwise you could shave your head! :)
    Just kidding!

    Unfortunately, That's part of the evil that comes with hair dye.
    I'd maybe go to a salon and talk to them about what the next step should be.

    To be honest, I've never had anything more than temp color in my hair.
    I had highlights once, but they've since been grown out and cut off.
    So my hair is it's natrual color.

    I've heard so many stories about what anightmare that it can be that I decided not to bother with it. :)

    My friends have told me what they had to do, so I'm basing it off that.

    1. The blonde dye won't come out. Basically, you've lightened the hair. As the color fades, it will become yellow. It won't go back to brown (at least not by fading).

    2. To get back to brown, you will either have to let it grow our, or you'll have to dye the hair brown. Be aware that most brown dyes will cause blonde hair to take on a greenish cast. You'll have to pre-dye the hair with a red, or add a little bit of red into the brown color in order to counteract the green. Of course, this calls for strand tests to get the amount of red correct.

    3. After you do dye it back (this is called a "tintback"), you will have some difficulty with fading. You may have to re-dye it in a few months.

    4. In spite of claims to the contrary, vitamins won't make hair grow faster -- unless you have some sort of vitamin deficiency. In fact, nothing that is currently available will make your hair grow faster than it will naturally (about half an inch a month).
