Answer #1

maybe try washing your hair without using the conditioner they give you. if you try and dye your hair again with a lighter shade it could harm it more than help it, or you could go get your hair stripped which removes the color.

Answer #2

Ordinary blue food coloring from the baking section of the grocery store will help dramatically tone down the brassiness. It washes out easily.

Note: The drips can stain skin and clothes, so take precautions.

Mix 1 drop of blue food coloring with a bit of water and a dollop of mouse. Use a brush (like an old toothbrush) to mix it and apply to your roots & as desired. Allow it to air dry. (If you want to blowdry your hair, wear latex gloves so you don’t stain your fingers.) Voila! A color you can live with!

If the color looks too strong, use a wet washcloth to wipe the tint off your hair until it is the desired level.

You can also mix in a drop of red food coloring to make a brownish-violet color. This will also tone down the orange. Experiment to find the right combination for you. This will hold you over until you can afford to get it fixed.
