dying dyed dark brown hair lighter?

Question

i recently got my friend to dye my hair dark brown
but it's gone too dark

now i want to dye my hair lighter
but leave the front under my fringe darker (might not end up doing this)

what will i need to get done to it?
highlights/lowlights?

or could i use a lighter dye and do it myself,
would it work?

i'd love to get my hair like one of these

Answer 1

with all those different strips of color, I would go to a salon to have it done

Answer 2

You might just have to wait for the dye to fade. You could go in to a beauty salon and have them bleach your hair out first, to start from scratch. I also heard a home remedy where you take fresh squeezed lemon juice and put it in a spray bottle. Spray it on your hair, and sit in direct light for an hour or two. (It depends on how light you want it) but that might only work on blondes. That's all I know.
