Whatever you do, wait at least for a week to let you hair rest ^^;

When I dyed my hair a horrible orange in high school, I looked horrible in it, too. But now I love being a blonde (a lovely colour blonde). You don't have to give up, just find the shade that's right for you.

What kind of kit are you using? Doesnt sound like it's the right kind if it only lightened that little.
You should be using a maximum bleaching kit like Super blonde (loreal) or Maxi blonde (clairol) and then toning it afterwards.
 
If you bought one of these bleaching kits,you could still be a blonde if you wanted.You'd also need to buy a blonde color to tone with after bleaching.
 
If it is your desire to just go back to brunette,then valkyrie grrl is right a semi or demi is best because it only deposits color (I prefer natural instincts)
It shouldnt damage your hair at all really.

You could use a deposit only semi or demi permanent color.  They have low peroxide and won't damage your hair.  You could use a permanent, but your hair is probably extra porous due to the two applications of color.  I'd pick a color slighly lighter than what you want the result to be, since porous hair will asorb color more readily.  It's easier to go darker than lighter.
 
You could also try a toner if you want to try blonde.  Blonde boxed haircolor is hard for brunettes, since it usually doesn't have enough lifting power.  Bleach & toner is usually the way to go, but it is also tricky and a two step process.

So I'm a brunette and thought it might be fun to be a blonde for a while.  I bought a home kit the other day and the results were just a shade lighter.  I was determined, so I went the next day and bought ANOTHER kit, only this time I used a very light blonde.  Now my hair is strawberry blonde and it looks terrible on me.  It's been a few days and now I just want brown hair.  Will it damage my hair too bad if I dye it again?
