    Orangy color
    Please Help I don't know what to do , My natural hair color is Dark brown anyway I have been dying it for years and every time I dye my hair something bad happends normaly , but the last couple months were going super good till my roots really started to bug me because I had lots of blonde highlights but they were super nice everyone loved it , but stupid me couldn't leave well enough alone and wait and just go get my roots done at a salon down south, but since I figured I had done them myself well with an at home kit and everything was going good I figured why not just use that product... So I did... BIG MISTAKE my hair where I did my Roots went ORange with Platinum Blonde HOrible... So I freaked and went and got a light brown thinking it would take away the Orange and keep some highlights.. well it did keep the highlights but they all had Orange tint color to them... so once again I put a nice and easy semi permanent wash out medium brown and it went really dark!! I can pull off dark hair color cause I am pretty tanned but I don't want to at all , so I put highlights in with a highlight kit for Dark brown hair which I always use cause the highlights turn out awesome when I do it properly, Anyway now that stupid Orange redish tint is back at the roots and I hate Red!! My ends are fine they are like a light brown with blonde it's the top of my head I want to cry , and the thing is I live in Northern Ontario and the hair salons here aren't good I have had really bad experiences... So what can I do to get rid of the orangy redish color Asap cause I refuse to go anywhere looking like this it's that bad!! :( I have tried washing it with Sunlight but that isn't doing anything for the Red ! And someone said to put an ash color but won't that go Green that's all I need right now.. ( I have been conditioning it A lot but either way its going to be damaged after all this)
    Please HELP me!!

    I'd just put a hat on and go get a dark dye then start all over again. Or send a friend out to buy it!
    The more bleach you put in, the worse its going to get.
    Good luck!

    Don't use anything with an outcome on the side that shows a red tinge it will automatically turn your hair red or orange

    I recommend that you go the salon and have the color corrected. If the roots is more red than orange, a green-base color will neutralize the red tones. So the hairstylist may need to use an ash color with a green-base to counter-act the unwanted shade. When you color your hair a lot, it will result in different shades. You should let the hairstylist do a corrective color to make your hair one even color.
