I dyed my hair a few days ago, and it turned a gray-orangish color. I would like to re-dye it to cover up the ugliness. How long should I wait? Thanks!!

I've immediately dyed my hair again when a color went wrong. It really doesn't do that much more damage than you've already done provided you aren't using an harsh bleaching product.
A suggestion - go to a beauty supply like Sally's and ask them for a protein conditioner that you use before coloring. Basically, you put it on and leave it for about 30 minutes and then rinse it out. Then towel dry your hair well and apply the new color to your damp hair. I know the hair color says apply to dry hair but this way will help your hair absorb the new color more evenly as well as giving it some extra protection. The more damaged the hair the more color it will absorb.

Continuing to put color over color isn't going to correct the damage that has already been done to your hair. That will only cause your hair to be like straw & break off. If you can't afford to go to a salon to correct the problem, wait about a week, don't recolor with any hair color that contains ammonia & peroxide (permanent hair color), use a temporary color that gradually washes out over a few shampoos. Use a deep conditioner after every time you shampoo your hair, don't use a hair dryer, let it air dry naturally.

When I was younger a girl in my class dyed her hair and decided she didn't like the color, so she re-dyed it a couple of days later and it turned this awful shade of green. I would make an appointment at a hair salon and have it done professionally. i know that's kinda pricey, but I wouldn't dink around with my hair if there's a chance it would end up really awful or maybe even falling out.

Depends on the product used originally and what you plan on using to do the cover-up.
If the original was an o-t-c (over-the-counter), a couple of days should be good. Using the same manufacturer bu a different color (of course!) would be best as the chemicals won't cause issues.
If the original was done by a salon/professional, make them take care of it - AT THEIR COST!

Personally I would just re-dye it right away because if you wait, your hair will repair and when you dye it again, it will just damange all over again, which makes no sense why you waited. When you dye it, your hair gets dry and if you wait for it to repair, it will get soft again right? Then when you re-dye it, it will just damange again. i would do it as soon as possible so you can spend time taking care and repairing the hair you damanged AFTER fixing your color.

For lighter... 3 weeks
For darker... about a week.
Just don't get it on your scalp if you can help it.
