Short of waiting months/years for the color to simply grow out, you're going to need professional help.

A professional stylist can strip the color, and then bleach what's left to a blonde shade close to your natural color, and then put on a toner. Bleaching is, obviously, damaging to your hair, but if you only did it that once, and got regular touch ups of toner/color at your natural shade, and buy some good hair conditioning products you will make it out OK.

I've bleached my hair before (professionally) and lived to tell the tale. It just requires more careful attention.

If you choose to seek a professional, please call around first and make sure you're given a "color expert", not just anybody with a cosmetologist's license. If you are in Southern California, I know a color genius (IMO), if you want to email me I'll give you her shop.

Slowly start dying in back to your natural color so when it starts to grow out its not too obvious. Just time.

im a hair dresser and all ican say is dont do anything else... go to a salon and get it fixed i can tell you how to do it step by step but honestly its a long process and should really only be dealt with at a hair salon...its pricey though

Hm... you could bleach it then dye it back to what your old color was then wait for your natural hair to grow back.

I don't think theres any way for you to 'get the dye out'.

You might want to go to a hairdresser or something if you're worried about damaging it.

You can't really "get the dye out".

Over time you could keep adding highlights until it's the color you want.

You could also wait for a few weeks to see if the color grows on you.

The next time you feel experimental, sleep on it for a week or so.

I hate to say this, but at the rate you are going, you won't have any hair left to dye! If the color doesn't look too bad, give your hair a break and nurse it back into shape with some restoring conditioner. Then, go to a salon and tell them all your hair has been through to see if they recommend any more processing. If you are certain they have your best interest in mind (not $$$) go ahead and get it fixed. In the future, you can try semi-permanent treatments. Some will be out of your hair in a week. As a blonde, you can really have fun trying on a wide spectrum of colors because you dont' have to lighten first to get them!

I can tell u from personal experience that this will require much patience on your part...

I like you had soft brown hair and decided to dye it black (I used one of those box containers) needless to say I had to go to a professional salon where they literary had to fry my hair to remove the black color (the dye in the box container is oil based and very difficult to remove, especially Black!)...In the months that followed I almost tried every conditioner on the market with every repair kit available...

I can say that I too survived and now my hair is once again as healthy as it ever was..I also learned my lesson and only purchase salon based products from like a Sally Beauty Supply Store that are truly good for your hair...you can also purchase dyes from a health food store if you want to go the truly A La Natural route..

Good luck and try doing it gradually (if u can) in the long run your hair will thank u for it...
