I have highlighted hair with very blond and caramel slices. I also have light brown roots showing through. I want to go back to natural colour and tone down orange brassy ness. Someone suggested blue aveda but that just makes blond bits very blond. Someone else suggested putting a dark brown over it but i am worried this could turn it green!.
Hair dresser says she would have to put red on it to counteract the horrible red tones but she made a mess of it the first time so have lost confidence in her.
Someone else said to try toner from sallys (uk) but shop gave me hair dye in medium blond and the strand test looks very red which i hate.
Does anyone know there stuff with colouring ?

okay, YET AGAIN non professionals are giving BAD advice on this board. firstly the girl who said she bleached her hair to white-eek NO-ONE should be bleaching their hair to white (you should only ever bleach to the pale yellow stage, creamy/pale yellow like inside of a banana skin) and then you use a toner to TONE to platinum. secondly she never would of been able to put a brown haircolour on white hair and get brown, she more than likely would of ended up green because when you bleach you are stripping out the natural pigments of your hair, hence why you go from brown to orange/ginger to yellow to pale yellow so when you want to go back to brown then you have to put the colour back INTO your hair, hence why your hairdresser would of wanted to use a red haircolour first which is absolutely correct, BUT she made a mistake with bleaching you i am afraid as it sounds like she took the bleach off too soon if you have ginger streaks instead of pale yellow. now because the red undertones weren't completely bleached from your hair then you CAN put on a brown haircolour without having to put a red haircolour on first, but if you wanted to be blonde then you will just have to get re-bleached i am afraid, it shouldn't take long to get to the pale yellow stage when you are ginger (a strand test should determine just HOW long it will take) after that you should use something like roux fanci-full rinse which is a wash in-wash out toner that you can use after everytime you have washed your hair to tone the highlights in whatever shade of blonde you wish (most people don't permanently tone highlights as they don't tend to look brassy next to natural colour of the hair as opposed to an all-over bleached head)

Shave your head for charity. Then you can regrow your hair in your natural colour and a charity will benefit from your sacrifice. Problem solved!

do not get ur hair stripped!!!!!!! it will totally wreck ur hair and make it feel like straw!! my friend had it done and she had blonde highlighs and all it did was fade them it didnt remove them completely and it desroyed her hair!!
my friend is a hairdresser, and she is telling me to tell u to go to another stylist with a picture of the colour u want (pic a colour in a magazine or sumtin) and the stylist will pre colour ur hair first then go over it with the colour u want, so really ur gettin ur hair dyed twice.
also, i've had this done and it didnt cost a fortune, i went to david marshalls, which is a training school so it didnt cost too much.. is time consuming tho.. it did take maybe 4 hours in the hairdressers. (this is before my friend was a hair dresser, just incase u were wonderin why shedidnt do it for me..) :)
