wellllll i have been messing around with my hair for a few months now, applying different permanent colors and what not all because one day I decided i would try to give myself highlights and part of my hair turned orangy yellow and I freaked out and tried to cover it. Luckily I only did that on aportion of my hair because I guess I knew I really ddidnt know what I was doing with the creme bleach. ANyway,my hair is a naturally warm medium brown...which i also the last color I dyed it to cover the orangy yellowy hues of the hair which had been bleached (which had also been previously dyed dffrerent shades of brown and red by me to cover it up but still retained an brassiness I did not like-reminded me of my hair in ninth grade when I used sun in and it oxidized and turned exactly the same shade!). anyway my problem now I dont know what to do ive been reading and it says previously colored hair will grab color quicker so I didnt leave the permanent dye on as long as it said *i made sure to pick a neutral tone, i thought,but it didnt seem to do much to the orangy yellow part. Its actually yellowy greenish with a slight orange tone. How to correct? Is this because of the fact I didnt leave the color on long enough? DId I pick the wrong color? should I avoid colors with high perrioxide? How do I correct the greennish hue (which I think is from the light ash brown color i used before the natural medium brown)? SHould I try red ........or something yellow?I dont know what to do ! any HElp will be apppreciated as long as its not "go to salon for color correctioN" i cannot afford that/

well since you say you can`t afford to go to a salon I ask you, can you afford to go around with green hair? This wouldn`t have happened if you had gone to a salon.
You will need professional help with this. Especially since you have so many applications of color already on your hair. Check out going to a beauty school. They can do a correction for a fraction of the regular salon cost.
