I made a mistake

I think you should try colorfix, and then it's probably not a good idea to go for a permanent dye again.

Try a semi permanent dye instead, it'll damage the hair less.

Hi,
I'm new and just found this site, so I hopy you all can give me some advice.

Friday I colored my hair (perm color) as I normally do.  I get my color from Sally's (I mix dark blonde neutral base and coppertone red base with 20 volume developer).  I then had the bright idea to highlight my own hair (which I normally let my hairstylest do).  I used kaleidocolor from Sally's.  It didn't look that bad, but it certainly wasn't great.  So repeated my orignal color (doing all 3 things in one day).  Well I came out looking like Little Orphan Annie.  I called my stylist and she suggested that I mix clarifying shampoo (I used Kenra) and laundry washing powder and let it sit on my hair for about 10 minutes.  That didn't work.  Then she suggested I mix the shampoo, washing powder, and my #20 developer and work it in my hair leaving it on for 20 minutes.  That didn't work.  So I was instructed to go back to Sally's and get a light brown color neutral base and #10 developer and re-color my hair.  I did this Saturday afternoon and then I came out looking like Elvira (very dark brown hair).  I called her and she instructed me to do the shampoo/washing powder/developer thing again and it took some of the darkness away allowing for some red to shine through, but it's still rather dark.

My question is this, can I re-color my hair now?  What else can I do without making my hair break and fall out?  I am not thrilled with this color and I would prefer not having to go see my sytlist due to money and time constraints.

Thanks.
