Help Please! Orange won't quit!

Hi everyone.
i have medium/dark brown hair. it's long and thick.
i have had blonde highlights in the past and dyed my hair dark brown to cover them. i got sick of that so went back to really light blonde highlights. i decided i had enough of touchups so i dyed my hair an auburn brown color at home...so probably permanent color. i hated the way it turned orange after a while so i dyed it a natural brown color at home. it looked great for a while but it turned orange again. i got sick of it so i went to a salon and told her i wanted to go back to my roots and i hated the orange. she dyed my hair a pretty dark brown demi permanent color and said to come back in 3 weeks and we'd do it again to get the hair to hold the color. i've gone three times and my hair keeps going back to an orangey color. (especially in bright light it is just soooo orange looking) i hate it!!!

does anyone know what i can do to get rid of the orange for good?

Thanks a lot!

hi
thanks for your reply. the hairdresser did not put in filler. she said b/c i had highlights at some point in the past i didn't need them?

but obviously somethings not working, so maybe that's it!

i've included some pictures of my hair in different light. it always either looks red or orangey or maroone and even multi colored. it shouldnt be any. my natural color is brown (and if anything, golden tones) the last 2 pics are of my hair before the red/orange problem. (i had blonde highlights)

I like all the pics...you look good with the gold tones AND red tones. The first pics look a lot like my hair did when I highlighted it. After a few washings, it toned down a lot. I've sinced colored with medium ash brown and now my highlights are barely there, and basically brown (no red) with just a hint of being lighter brown than the rest of my (medium to dark) brown hair. I used perm color but demi would work just as well (because my roots are grey).

1) at first


2) now
