Call the manufacturer for the hair dye. If you don't have the package, call the beauty supply store and ask them to get ou the number. Explain the problem.

I have been ill and have lost most of my hair....orange hair is better than no hair ;)

Good luck!

In most hair stores there are dye removers that will strip your hair of the color. This will lift out the red but you must wait at least a week to do this. Also you can put a darker color on top of the reddish color something like a chestnut brown to tone the red down. Then you can wait a few weeks and try the blonde dye. Make sure on the dye box you look at the color code to get a pretty accurate color match.

Coloring hair is not not like the primary color's that we learned in school.
1) Permanent hair color does not lift out existing artificial hair color.

2) Hair bleaching will lighten artificial pigments (especially very dark colors) more slowly than natural pigments in regrowth.

3) Some inexpensive (drugstore brand) hair colors contain metallic salts which can turn your hair to mush if they're processed with bleach, perm solutions, or chemical straighteners.

Check the ingredients if you've used a drugstore brand hair color to make sure it doesn't contain any metallic dye components.

Darker colors contain more of this ingredient (in those particular brands), and the more you've used it, the more metallic salts will have been deposited on/in your hair.


Hair Color Tips:


1.Highlighting is a great way to add tone to monochromatic hair (jet black, pure brown).
2.Beware of hair colors that have green, blue, or purple undertones, like “ash”. If you mix them with warm tones, your hair color will turn out green.
3.The levels (one to twelve) you see on hair coloring boxes are the lightness or darkness of the color. Level one is black (darkest) and level twelve is light blond.
4.“Complimentary colors” are opposite each other on the color wheel. Blue-orange, violet-yellow, etc. If you want to neutralize unwanted highlights, choose the complementary color. For instance, red will cancel out an ash undertone, and an ashen color neutralizes any red highlights in your hair.
5.Be sure to check if your hair color is a “progressive dye”. Progressive dyes continually add more color with each use. For instance, if you’re coloring blond hair black, your first use of a progressive hair color may not give the result you expected. However, continued use will turn your hair jet black.
6.Hair colors, like perms, are chemically based. If you’re pregnant, be sure to check with your doctor before coloring your hair.
7.Henna hair dyes are organic based hair colors that don’t mix well with chemicals.
8.Stay out of the pool and the ocean after coloring your hair. Neither sea salt nor chlorine mixes well with chemical

You need to go back and get a bleach kit. If you are going for blonde that will be the only and best way to go. Since its to the orange stage you need to leave it on a good 30 min. (maybe a little longer depending on how fast your hair pulls), as soon as it passes the caramel color stage and goes to light blonde then you wash it. BUT DON"T WASH IT OUT BEFORE THE CARAMEL IS GONE. You have to leave it till it goes completely blonde root to tip. I should know I bleach my hair.
