I tried to go from a dark brunette to blonde using Clairol "born blonde" and the result was blond roots and the remainder is fairly dark orang(ish). I need to fix this asap! Do I need to go to a professional or just reapply the stuff? If I just reapply how long do I wait?

It costs tons to have corrective hair color in a salon, so what ID do is buy a box to do just a strand test. Put it on your longest reddish hair from as close to the blond part without touching it. Make sure this is a strand of hair totally visible to you. Then look at your watch and time how long it takes, rinsing that strand soon as it at least comes closer to matching the roots. Then blow-dry that strand and see how much it's lightened when dry. Pull on it with your fingers to see if it's still strong. If it only took like 10 min ...I'd go ahead and get a new box and do it again, trying hard not to hit your roots. 10 min shouldn't kill the healthy root hair, but your trying not to make them even whiter. Like I said, that's the way I'd do it. Then condition your hair with the best !
You are going to need to go to a beauty supply store and ask for the formula to do a complete "bleach out" and then after dry, re-apply the box formula. You will need a very strong conditioner for your hair - usually the clairol conditioner in the small tubes will work just fine.
