Hello,
 
I am new here and hoping someone can help, please! My nautural color is a reddish-brownish, auburnish?
 
Here is what I did:
 
About 5 months ago, I used ( I think ) Maxi Blonde. It turned my hair all sorts of colors, ranging from white, to gold to orange. Went and had corrective color done, which turned my hair almost back to normal, but not quite and it did not last. About 2 months later, the orangey look came back.
 
About a month ago, I went had asked for a dirty blonde color. She did something and it came out, ok, not what I was asking for, but ok. Again, it is starting to go orange.
 
Now (and this is my main problem) I have my natural, dark roots showing, then below that, about 2-3 inches of another shade a bit lighter (from the root growth that she didn't completely match), then the rest of my hair, so it looks like I have 3 colors.
 
I wanted to go buy dye that is closest to my natural color, but then I have the problem of all the 3 different shades dyeing diffrently??
 
Any suggestions please, please (other than just letting it grow out)??
 
Thank you very much!

Well, it depends on what you want to achieve.  If you want to work with the roots now then you could dye lowlights into the rest of your hair.  Pick a shade to match your roots, then do a tint back (add the colors back that are missing, usually red) on the sections below before adding the darker color.  It's possible to just dye one section down on the bottom to match the middle one then dye over that to match the root color.  It all has to blend though.  I hope this helps.

I'd just use a protien filler in the dye, that'd probably help it all even out
doubt truth to be a liar.
