Hair disaster HELP!!!!!!!!

This may be kind of long, but please bear with me because I need help.
First of all my natural hair color is dark brown with gold and red highlights. Last Sept. my niece gave me very heavy blonde highlights. I absolutely loved it, but didn't like what the bleach did to my hair.

After months of deep conditioning and cholesterol treatments my hair was back to normal. I found a hair dresser who said she could make me an all over blonde with coloring not bleach so I went for it in March. We picked out a color and she applied it to the roots first and at the end she pulled it through the rest. When she rinsed it out my roots were orange and the rest looked the same as when I walked in. then she used a toner and it took out a little of the orange, but not all. Next she did pull through cap lowlights to try and blend it together. When she rinsed that off I had blueish gray highlights. She said the only thing she knew to do was do an all over brown to cover everything up. When she did that my roots were still orangey and the rest of it was a very ashy brown. She told me to come back in a week and she would fix it. Needless to say I never went back to here
I was mortified with the way my hair looked.

Last month my niece and I went to Sally's and picked out a brown to do. She put it on and for the first few days I loved. Finally my hair was all one color. Now it has faded and is not an attractive color. Now it is sort of a light to medium brown with alot of red in it and it kind of has a green cast.

I just want it back to as close to my natural color as possible. I have looked at hair coloring and I am really confused. I don't know if I need a warm, cool, or neutral color. Should I do a shade or two lighter than what I want? Please someone help!!!

I hate to tell u this but it seems u r gonna have to get a dark color.In order to cover up the mess up.I'd get a choclate color.Sally's is good.i wouldn't go back to a salon.Don't worry if it turns out really dark.It will fade if u wash it alot.There r color removers,but I'm not so sure if u wanna try that.I say that because I used colorfix & it did ligten my hair,but it went back darker on the ends.U have to be very careful with color removers.To bad I can't do your hair for u.I'd for sure get someone to help color it.Whatever u do, don't get Feria by Loreal.it has Metallics in it.Which r not good.They can break your hair off if u try to color over it.I wouldn't do blonde.To me, blonde isn't your color.I like darker.If u want your hair to brighen up after u color it.By Shimmer Lights At Sally's. Make sure it's for Brunette hair.The bottle is purple with brown on it.Don't get the one with the blue label.That's for blondes.Good luck!

I'd try the Dark Golden Brown.After that I wouldn't do anything else.U need to also get u a Protien Filler.That way it will help the porous ends.The ends tend to shoke in the color the most.That's why u need a protien filler.Put the filler on the ends.So, they don't get to dark.U want even color.U can get the filler at Sally's.
