HAIR DYEEEe?

Ok, so here goes, please don't try and talk me out of doing this myself, because i will no matter what you tell me, so just give me sound advice please. My natural hair color is a between a very dark and medium shade brown. Over the summer, i use peroxide to lighten my hair a little bit, not massive amounts, just a little here and there to give a give of a variation. A few weeks ago, i decided that i wanted to go back to my natural color, and i bought a permanent dye. This did not go as planned however, and the result was at the bottom, extremely dark, and the rest was very dark. This is obviously not my natural color. The color, i noticed, also has a very deep red tint, slightly marroon you might say, and i want to remove the red. I would like to go to a lighter brown, a brown {more blond brown than red brown}. What color dye should i buy? Should i get one with lighter tones, cooler tones, medium tones? Any brand suggestions for te dye?

avoid anything with "reddish", "auburn" or "strawberry" in the name. Cooler, usually means reddish undertones...if your hair is dark, going a lighter brown usually wont work (since lighter dyes don't have much lightening stuff in them...like, I'm trying to go blonder, but without going peroxide, the darker parts of my hair won't change colors)

The reason why your ends are so dark is because they are drier.

So try dying your hair in two parts. If you go lighter, put the dye in the ends of your hair for 15-20 minutes before you put dye in the top of your hair. If you go darker, put darker on your top if your hair for 15-20 minutes longer than your end of your hair.

Just focus, for now, on trying to get the top and bottom of your hair all the same color, THEN worry about toning it to a lighter color (for that, use a glaze)

lighter colors will not make your hair lighter try a nutralizer like from sallys not the local drug store
