Any advice for a first time dye blunder?

I dyed my hair for the first time ever yesterday. My hair is medium/dark brown and I used Garnier Belle Color in Ash Blonde thinking that it would come out slightly lighter brown (as the box said). Well, it's kind of a muted auburn/orange. It's not vivid, but it's a little too reddish for my tastes, and I want to darken it.

I'm going to wait a couple of weeks or maybe 3 (latest would be the first Saturday in February) unless that's too soon to re-dye my hair. I went to the Garnier site and did the hair survey (told them what color I dyed my hair, the product number and what the natural color is) and they reccomend that I use Belle Color either 65 Chestnut Brown or 60 Light Brown. I might not use Belle Color...but if I choose a Chestnut Brown in any other brand, will it come out less red and more brown? I really just want the redness out.

Can anyone give me some advice?

Thanks for the response. I went to some other hair product sites and ended up chatting with someone at Clairol. I gave her all my information and she actually called me to walk me through what I should do step by step.

She told me to use Hydrience Mocha #44 (which is Clairol product - understandable) and to mix 1 ounce each of the color the bottle liquid and shampoo for normal hair and then apply to dry hair and do a strand test every 5 minutes and rinse when I saw the color I wanted. Then rinse - conditioning optional. She said that if I waited four weeks from my first coloring I could just use the product and follow the instructions on the box, but anything before four weeks should be mixed with shampoo, and less product.

I did that yesterday and it came out pretty good. The brassy red is gone but there's still a hint of a deeper color than my normal shade. It's not my natural shade, but it's so much better than what I had before.

I'm not going to touch it again for at least 6 weeks. Then maybe I'll try the darker shade again.

Thank you, DulcieB, for the advice. :) I'll definitely do that.

And thanks for wishing me good luck. I could use it. ;)
