You can use Colorfix to remove most of that dark colour out - Colorfix only removes oxidative dyes and is much more gentle than bleaching.

This will leave you with a base with which to start lightening you hair again....and this is where I leave it to the more knowledgable on the site of blonde hair
(I am naturally light blonde but have been dying it dark for 3 years so I don't know about artificial blondes)

I have been coloring my dark brown hair a very pretty neutral bright high-lift blonde for 5 years.  I usually do my roots at home myself with Clairol HL Neutral Blonde and 40 developer.  I visit a salon a few times a year for a bleach out and beigy toning only on the regrowth for a nice platinum blonde.  If I don't visit the salon, I get that gold band on all of my regrowth because my at home High Lift Color only gets me to the yellow stage on my regrowth.  I loved it and my hair was in great shape. 

I got a wild hair up my butt and went to a salon for lowlights.  Well, they turned out too dark.  I want to be all over blonde again.  My hair was gorgeous before and now I hate it.  To fix it I'm sure they will have to bleach me all over and then tone to get the lowlights out.  My hair has already been through a bleaching process once from doing it blonde so I don't want to destroy my hair.  Any suggestions?  I have read that head and shoulders and tide help to strip out color but I know it won't get it all out and I don't want to go back to my natural dark brown, I just want my pretty blonde back with as little trauma to my hair as possible.  Help!  I have family functions and parties coming up and my hair is a wreck!
