monotonous yellow head w/ black stripe down it. HELP!!!!!!

is any1 up 2 the challenge of helping me with my hair? my terrible, horrible hair...

well, the problem is that my hair is naturally dark blonde to light brown - mousy, if you will.
i used a natural kind of dye blonding spray on it for ages, because i fancied going totally blonde.

now though, i have yellow hair (i dont know if its that all the dye has built up or something), and a brown stripe going down the middle of it. I do touch up my roots when they need doing, about twice a month, but it doesnt totally work. I still always have this stripe down my head. When I first dyed it it looked lovely - all multi tonal and natural. But now its just one colour all over (excluding the stripe). And I'm not even exaggerating when I say its COMPLETELY YELLOW.

And, i have kind of cut this tuft of hair at the front, because it was about a centimetre and a half long, so i trimmed it into stubble. But it keeps growing back, and whether it is long or stubbly, it looks ridiculous and is always in the way.

Plus, a long long long time ago (couple of years) I had a fringe, and I grew it out, but some of the tendril things are at uneven levels on the front of my head.

Basically, my hair is a total mess. I never go to the hairdressers any more - I have my hair cut at home (just trimmed straight every so often). But now, I'm thinking that maybe I should go to the hairdressers and have it dyed a colour closer to my natural one - perhaps a honey or caramel kind of colour, and get this fringe sorted out.

What are your opinions on this? PLEASE, i would really really really like someone to reply to this desperate thread!!!!!

Thanks for your advice!
The Sun-In spray was definately a mistake, even though it looked so nice at first...
I will definately try to grow out the triangle of stubble on the top of my head, but its going to be a long tedious process!
I'm just not sure about the whole dye thing. I might not want to go down that route again. But then a caramel kind of colour is fairly close to my natural one (mousy with a hint of red). Hmm, I think I need to think about this quite seriously!
Anyway, thanks.

I used sun-in once. My advice is NEVER use the stuff. It destroyed my hair. I think that you should just let it grow out and wait for your natural hair to come back. That's what I'm in the process of doing right now. It's tedious you're right, but in the end will be worth it. Plus you sound like you have a really nice hair color. Just have patience. Oh yeah and use a few deep conditioning conditioners.

A good plan is to wait til you have 3" or so of your natural hair grown in, then get a cut and highlight/lowlights. That look can be very dramatic on dark ash blond hair.

I recommend choosing a salon carefully to make sure you get a good result.
