No no no! Colour won't lift the colour! You're just going backwoods.

You're hair obviously hold colour quite well, can be a good and a bad thing.

Your options are:
-Bleaching (all over or just dyed bits)
- Bleach soap cap

Did you already put the perm dye on??

Hi.. Thanks for your advice. Although I know it's VERY drying on my hair, I have used Dawn dish liquid on the worst streaks, a couple of times, haven't noticed any difference. I've washed my hair 15-20 times since the dye disaster, and the water always runs pink, but my hair doesn't look very different...
 
What I think I might do, is get the dark ash blonde permanent dye again, re-dye, and see how it turnes out. *sigh*
 
Again, thanks for the advice! =)

Wash your hair as often as possible (i'm talking twice a day or more) with anti-dandruff shampoo. Or if your game, diswashing liquid. Both will strip the burgandy quite well. Do this for a week or 2. This is called a Shapoo Train. Stand out of the water working the shampoo into the dyed bits. You should notice a big difference. This should also remove the ash you don't want.

From there you can work your way back to blonde.

I have made a horrible mistake!! =*(
 
A little background...
 
My hair is naturally a dark reddish blonde/very light reddish brown..
 
I have been lightening my hair for years, and decided I was bored with the "blonde" hair.... Always used "At home" dyes, have never been to a salon. Never really have the money to go to a professional, and always liked doing my own....
 
So.. I bought Revlon Colorsilk in "dark ash blonde". My hair turned out medium brown with grayish patches!! So.. I tried to add highlights and lowlights...
 
I used Colorsilk light golden blonde, for my highlights...
And, Garnier Nutrisse "intense auburn", #69, for my low lights!
 
The highlights were barely noticeable, and the "lowlights", wow! A HUGE mistake!! I now have huge streaks of bright burgundy-ish red mixed with a now lighter brown. It's horrible!!
 
So.. I bought Clairol "brass free blondes" in dark blonde, hoping to tone down the brightness. ...This is a semi permanent dye, all the rest was permanent, unfortunately! =( It did tone it down a tiny bit, but it still looks bad.
 
My quesion: What do I do now?? *sigh*
 
In one way, i'd like to just go back blonde, or dark blonde.
Another though, is to color over it with a semi permanent
brown shade, to try to minimize the bright color.
 
Or, maybe use a color remover i've heard about, and then re-dye a natural blonde color?
 
Any help is VERY appreciated!!
