Hmm...so your hair was dark brown, dyed I'm assuming, with foiled in highlights that once were pink, but then you let them fade to blonde.  The color you used was light neutral or beige blonde?  Now your hair is orange, pink, and yellow, is that right? 
 
Every color eventually fades, as you know.  What should you use depends on what you are trying to achieve.  What are you trying to do now? 
 
You don't have to wait to redye it, but I'd suggest using colorfix to get that dye out before you do anything else--if it was indeed dye you used.  The color you used most recently was bleach, single process, demi/semi or highlift color?

I used maxi blonde by clairol which was basically a bleacher and yes it was blonde foils with pink dye...it washes out after a few weeks. The pink was completly gone and now that my hairs dry it doesn't look so pink...just orange colors. I called clairol and they said to either go to a salon after 24hrs or wait a month to dye it again. Which I obveously don't want to do lol. I go to nscc and they have a cosmetology course that does everything so i think i may just end up going there to see what they can do. Thanks!
