    Is blonde your natural haircolor? You can try a color corrector/stipper (look at Sally Beauty Supply or similar). It will take the dark brown out, but you will most likely need to dye it again after you strip it. I dyed my dark blond hair a dark mahogany red once and HATED it. I stripped the color out and then redyed it a strawberry blonde. Choose a shade lighter that what you really want though, because the stripped hair will soak up the color more and it could turn dark again. You most likely will only need to leave the color on for about half of the normal processing time too. Right after you strip it, your hair will feel like straw, but will be okay again after the dye and conditioner go on. I would recommend a deep conditioning too.

    I think you first go to the local drug store and ask the doctor for some good advice.only the doctor can cure it like your situation.

    When I had blonde hair and died it a dark shade of brown I went to my hair dresser (not expecting to get it done that day) and asked what's the best thing to do, they should give you advice for stuff to do at home if it will be cheaper/easier for you, or if they come up with a solution which is better and you want to do you can make an appointment, I stripped my hair once, two days later I bleached it I done it two days later so that my hair wasn't washed so it had oils in to protect my hair from the bleach, then I put a L'Oreal hair dye on my hair it went a little bit green but you can wash this out with aspirin, you just crush the tablets up and mix it with water and the green should run out, then a couple of days later to make my hair look more natural I got a cheap highlighting kit from super drug and it looked really nice, very summery too:) also it wasn't even bad condition wise to be honest it felt smooth and nicer than it did before I died it and I had no split ends what so ever:-) to protect your blonde hair after you've died it I have a normal bath wash my hair but leave the conditioner on over night and wash it out in the morning, I used L'Oreal blonde hair protecting conditioner
