ok so heres my hair history
I permemntly dyed my hair very blonde 1 year and about 3 months ago and i hated it and i wanted to grow it out due to the orangy tone, but i was too araid to dye it again
 
then i redid my roots
 
next I decided i would completely dye it a darker blonde
 
so I did that and it was good but my roots still didnt match so i dyed it again about 6 weeks later, but i had patches so two days later i dyed it again and it was dark brown and i was ok with that, but it faded within a week to a medium blonde
 
I took a 3-4 month break on dying my hair
 
then about a year after i first ever dyed my hair, i dyed it a dirty blonde darker then before.
 
two months later i decided to go to a "dark beige blonde"  and i was surprised because the color was actually good with my skin but not actually my color but i was really happy it wasnt blonde at all.
 
however, my happiness was little lived, and my color washed out within a week to a golden brassy blonde! and I hate iT! its ben 7 weeks since i dyed my hair and i want to just end my hair dying days with a color that my natural color can grow in with. But I am sooo afraid it will fade again and i will have to dye my hair again which i really DONT want to, helppp how do i stop it from fading to an orangey blonde!!!

I don't kno much about blond hair dye...but what color is your hair normally?
 
When you said you dyed it other colors, did you use permant dye for the other colors? When I dyed my hair colors like honey blonde and I wanted to go back to black (my natural hair color) I just dyed my hair with a permant dye in tha shade closest to my original color and that was 2 months ago and you can't tell tha diff.
 
But then like I said I'm not experienced with blonde.
 
Hopefully someone else would have better advice...if anything I see a last resort would be to cut and re-grow...but I'm sure there's gotta be a way to fix your color issue.

oh yeah I really dont know how to describe my natural hair color it looks dark, but its not brown. I think its called ash blonde? But I think it grows in darker then that then it lightens up... See I used to have like white hair as a child and it slowly became darker and darker. I permenantly dyed my hair all of those times, yeah I know stupid..... That's why i need to just find a good color and let my hair grow out. So please answer I need help... Should I dye it darker then I want then let it fade to a lighter color that will make me happy??? Or is there a really good dye that prevents fading.... I've used garnier the past couple times and one time I used the perfect 10 stuff from loreal...... The first time my friend who used to be a professional did it with this actual clairol dye and they bought and mixed developer and used tin foil to completly dye it. Hope the extra info helps

Hi Pink,
 
The main reason your pulling the orangy warmer tones is because of previous blonde, and probably poor porosity causing your colour to fade. I do not know where you are in the world, lol, but you can buy such a product that is a filler and a porosity balancer at any Sally's beauty store, this should hep cancel out the warmer tones plus add moisture to your porous hair helping the colour to grab better. I would recommend you stay away from warm tones, go for cooler tones to avoid pulling anymore warmth. I would also recommend a demi permanent colour, until you get some good condition back to your hair.
 
I hope this helps.
 
Karen:)

Sounds like you're changing colors alot.So when the new color fades,it is fading to the other colors you've had that you didnt like.Which I totally agree with Karen S is probably because of the porousity of your hair.
 
A protein filler would help alot with repairing the damage and sealing in color.
 
Dying slightly darker to let it fade to the color you want is option...but if you're going to do that,be sure you have a protein filler first so your hair doesnt grab the color end up looking black.
