you have to strip your hair you have to go to a salon to get it done i think.

They have a product called "Tone Refiner"Iam not sure who its made by but they sell it at most drug stores and Wal-Mart. It takes the brassiness or red/ orange tones out. I am brunette and I dye my hair with wella sunlight blonde brown and then use the tone refiner and it comes out a blondish brown.I have alot of red/gold tones in my hair already and this does wonders. It takes all of the red out and it only cost about $9. This is not a bleach and it won't damage your hair like bleaches do. If you go to a salon they will charge you an arm & a leg and this work just as well. A salon tried to fix mine and I still wasn't happy so I went home and used this product and came out with the results that I was looking for without paying a fortune to get it fixed.

You probably have no choice but to go to a salon and get all of your hair bleached. I went from a DARK brunette to a light/medium blonde and it turned out really well. I got lots of compliments on it. I have since went back to brunette cause I always felt like I had to "explain" my hair cause it was such a dramatic change. I would not try to bleach your hair at home though or you may cause more damage.

I had to bleach my whole head to get the red out after I accidentally went black and liked it and then decided six months and how ever many touch ups later that I wanted to lighten it. If you end up bleaching it all out, get a really good conditioner or masque, because you will need it after the bleach and the new hair dye on top of that. Good luck.

DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS AT HOME!!! Go to your stylist, and pay the extra money to have it done professionally. Red(orange) is the hardest to get out of hair because the molecules are the biggest. This is not something to attempt at home. Remember that color(not bleach) will NEVER remove other colors from your hair. It will just make it darker...Good luck and God bless

you need to go to a salon............you have to use bleach .........dark hair has stages to go through before you see the blond.....you have already used products to lighten it but not strong enough to get a pretty blond shade......you hit the orange stage which is awful been there done that ...yack ....it has to be bleach out now...unless you go back to brown ...you decide...see a salon either way ..good luck

Try giving ur last rinse after a conditioner with concentrated lime/lemon juice and then drying ur hair naturally in the sun.Lime is good for hair and wont harm it.

Excellent decision. I don't like red hair at all.
But, on the downside, blondes are kinda' goofey.

Use baby shampoo. Then go to a salon, or your hair will turn brass.

Just go to a store and dye your hair semi-permanent or just permanent.
