Lightening Dyed Hair?

I know they say to only ever go one or two shades lighter/darker, but I was stupid and wanted dark brown hair. However the store bought hair dye turned out to be practically black! I haven't dyed it for a good 6 months and my roots aren't really showing and the colour is still dark.

So I used Colour B4 which is a hair dye remover. When I first did it, I loved it. It was a nice dark auburn and at least 2 shades lighter than it was. But now a week later it's gone dark again. I have read all about vitamin C tablets mixed with anti-dandruff shampoo to lighten it, so unless there are any better home remedies I will try that.

The box of hair dye remover was 12 pounds a box and I don't want to do it again just to waste 12 pounds. Please help. I do not want to bleach it because I love my luscious wavy thick hair which I am surprised I still have because of all the dying I have done before.

I would go to a professional hair stylist for that one!

I got my grey hair low lighted (guess that's what you call it). My hairdresser and I have been typing different shades to find the one I like. She uses two different colors. The last one I do not like and rather than have her do it over.

I shampooed 3 days with a clarifying shampoo and it has toned down the gold a lot. Give it a try. The brand I used is ion"; I got at Sally's beauty supply but you can use any if it stats "clarifying".

Alternate using dawn dish soap and baking soda. Keep repeating and it will remove the color. I did mine once and after washing it five times in one bath it was a shade I could live with.
