My hair was recently died dark brown with a redish tint...how do i lighten or get rid of red???

I had a disastrous day at the hair salon...I told them i wanted darker hair (my hair was light brown) and she highlighted it with dark and blond chunks and I hated it so they just died over it really dark. Now its a darker brown with red highlights and i hate it. How can i lighten it or get rid of the red? How long will it take? I have been using Dawn and Prell but I dont see a difference. If i strip the color will the blond highlights show? HELP please!!!

red is the hardest color to get rid off, there will always be some red shine left. only at a salon they can get rid of it but if you dont want to go to a salon and spend a lot of money, you can color it yourself with very dark brown color.

At most salon stores they have a product called(red out) try using a lighter brown color with a neutral base and using that in the product......if you do it yourself.....if not you may have to go to another salon and have it fixed

see what is the base color of the color u have used. its on the back of container. if its blue, then used a color that base is orange-if red, used a green base color, purple, used a gold or yellow base. it u try this your hair will turn neutral; meaning brown. or you can do a hold new color -which going to need a higher volume.

Use a product called red out. If not use any color similar but with an ash tone in it. Ash kills the golden or reddish look. U should get it done professionally if unsure. Hope this helps =)
