    Dyed hair red but turned out orange
    Helpp. I am a natural blonde. Like 3 days ago, made horrible mistake of dying it auburn red. It ended up looking orange and pink. I'm wanting to dye it back. I bought the lightest blonde I can find... will my hair go back to normal? Any suggestions. I want to get rid of this horrid color now.

    The only way to go back blonde is to bleach it at this point. And guess what, red is the most stubborn color, so you're going to have to use 30, maybe 40 developer. It damages your hair a lot, but you can't get it back that color unless you do, or you could try coloring it a darker red. On blondes it works nicely. But whenever you decide to go back blonde, it will take lots of damage to get it back closest to normal you can regardless.. You can always deep condition, and get other treatments once a week. This will help manage tangles, but won't ever undo the damage..

    I feel for you! I'm a natural blonde, and I did this same thing. Never again!

    Oh, and also, after your hair is light enough, get a box of ash blonde (this will neutralize the remaining tint from the red (yellows and oranges)). Best of luck to you!
