Hi there N.~
Nice to 'see' you chick! xx
Glad to know that your hair is getting healthier and longer too!
As you know, we both sort of went through the same colour nightmare and both lost length without wanting to as well. (Ugh~ I feel your pain! Frustrating! )
Just a suggestion (sorry so long to explain)~ when I was going through the same thing~ although I'm not sure how different our hair colours were. To give a bit of an idea: mine started as a level 9/10 blonde and then the evil colourist who doesn't listen 'filled' it with a reddy-orange filler~ (looked like inside of a pumpkin colour) and then brown hair colour added. I'd say the resulting colour was a dull looking shade around the same as Jennifer Aniston's is now. It just wasn't as nice as Jenn's, didn't suit me at all and most definitely was not what I wanted!
Anyway~ Similar to you, I desperately wanted my blonde hair back. After it happened, I had been trying to fade the brown as much as I could while still trying to keep my hair in good shape and damage no further than it already was. I went to a new colourist and she did what she referred to as a 'flash toner'. I didn't know how to explain to anyone what that was at the time (it was just the term I heard her use)... but since then I have found out that it is a normal toner that uses 7 vol peroxide for the 'regular' and 9.5 for the 'ultra'. It worked really well (see link to post with photos below)

I am thinking and hoping that maybe something similar will work for you without causing additional unwanted damage the way an allover bleaching would?
Keep us posted! Would love to see photos if you have any!
