LOL.. the SAME thing happened to me in high school. I had my hair dyed blonde (at the hair salon) and then a few days later decided that I wanted it to be dark brown (and did it MYSELF!!) Needless to say.. it turned BRIGHT ORANGE!! It seriously looked like RUST!! LOL It was HORRIBLE!!

I went to the hair stylist and they literally had to take ALL the color out of my hair and bleach it to WHITE (REALLY WHITE) and then put color BACK into my hair!! It turned out fine in the end though THANK GOD!!

What is happening though is that your body chemistry is reacting to the chemicals in the hair dye. I am the same way... if I dye my hair brown then it ALWAYS turns a reddish color (just the way my body works!)

You have to tell your hair stylist that your body turns things ORANGE and to use a hair color that has NO RED (or the least amount of red possible) in it!! Even when you DO find the nice brown color that you want you should expect to still have hints of red in your hair (you wont be able to get it completely brown b/c of the chemistry in your body). A color that has worked for me in the past was called "Chocolate Cappacino!"

Best of luck and if all else fails go w/ a black instead of a brown... that way there is NO RED in the dye at all!

Stop dying your hair and let it grow out. Haha if you keep dying your hair, it will fall out!

I once died my hair blonde and it turned gray. It wasnt good...

You have really did a lot of processes in your hair. You may just be best to let it rest for a while before attempting anything new.

You need to strip it back again and this time make sure it is left on until it is blonde, not orange. This way when you put the brown over it, it won't go orange. The only other alternative is to grow it out and be patient xx

I think you really need to invest in a good salon with a good colorist.

Hi this happend to me, a few weeks back when I did it with a pre lightener, which I should of use bleach instead of but never mind.

if you keep putting on reddy colour dyes like mahogany then it will go red, and react with other dyes same happend to me.

I went to the hair dressers to get it sorted and they did a good job onit, as all the deep red in my hair and the orange is now all gone. So when you have the money see a hairdresser.

in the mean time try garnier nutrisse dark golden brown and see how you go

You have severally over processed your hair. Stop dumping color on top of color. Go directly to a salon...do not pass go...do not collect $200...just go see a professional. There may not be much that they can do other then try and use a color earser such as phantom...cross your fingers and pray. Let this be a lesson to use a professional to do your hair.

With the money you have spent on hair dye, you could have gone and seen a hairdresser. Cut your losses now and go and see a professional!

Use a color wheel!!! Opposite of purple is green/yellow. That is the base color of the formula you should be putting in your hair to cancel out any unwanted tones and use 10 vol peroxide.

Better yet, go to a professional, the amount of money you have spent so far on trying to fix the mistake, could've been taken care of for probably the same amount of money the first time around.

Most hair color over the counter contain metalic salts, NOT A GOOD THING
