"After dying my hair black & trying color removal twice,which didnt work, how can i fix it or go back 2 light brown color"

HairFilter: How do I get back closer to my natural light brown after going from bleach to red to dark without my hair falling out?

About a month ago, in a moment of stupidity, I used a hair bleaching kit from a natural foods store on my then undyed light/medium brown hair that had natural highlights. It turned our horribly uneven.
I immediately went and used a color remover to try to tone down the yellow, but it didn't do anything.
The next day I used Garnier 100% Color (permanent) dye in "Mahogany Red Brown." Well, with my yellow/white hair, I got Strawberry Shortcake red.
I already had a box of Natural Instincts (semi-permanent) that I'd bought a while before but not used yet. It was a dark brown shade, so I used that about 3 days after doing the red. Now I have dark reddish purply brown that looks almost goth/emo teen with my short pixie 'do. I was hoping it would fade more back to the red over time since it's semi-permanent, but I guess with my hair being processed, it's here to stay.

I know that the best options are to go to a professional or let it grow out, but I can in no way afford what a pro would charge, and as it grows out with my light roots, it looks like I'm going bald at my part.

Any expert DIY dyers (or professionals) who have any tips on how to get back to light brown without my hair falling out? I have fine hair, and it has felt more brittle since my dyed adventures.

Should I use a color remover kit again to try to get it back to the blonde, or at least to red before trying to dye it again. Or should I find a dye that is meant to lighten dark hair? I've had little luck finding light/med brown dye shades that are meant for people with dark hair. They all seem to be for people with light hair going darker.

Steps

1. Prepare your hair for whats to come. The treatment will not be good for your hair and you will need to make preventative steps. Wash with dandruff shampoo and use lemon juice water in a spray bottle to start gently removing the color’s potency. Wash often and use a deep conditioner.
2. Consider your hair’s distinct qualities first and reflect on hair color experiences you have had in the past. Ask yourself questions like “Does my hair react badly to color? Does it turn frail or brittle? Am I susceptible to split ends more then most people? Have I already dyed my hair more than once already?”
3. Consult a professional. Schedule a few consultations with recommended colorists in your area to get multiple opinions on the state your hair is in and what type of damage it can still endure. Allow the colorist to assess your hair for porosity and to determine both your hair color level and your natural level, if possible, in order to decide which course of action to take.
4. Look into retail and drugstore products, many companies like L’Oreal and Walgreen’s have hair color removers some will take out the color but leave you with an equally undesirable result which you can dye over, if your hair is very healthy this is not a bad route and can be fairly inexpensive. Regular color does not remove color it only adds, if your color is dark damage is the only thing you will receive from dying overtop a very dark color.
5. Start your hair treatment. Use your drugstore product or if your hair is already getting damaged from dyes then you will have to go the more cautious route and involve a The colorists you consulted with will have given you great ideas. You will also find more great ideas in the tips section of this article.
6. Try to keep an open mind. The most important thing is the health of your hair. Follow the advice given you by the colorist and your hair will be healthier and the end result will be better! Be prepared for the possibility that it might take several services, and therefore months, to fix. This is not always something you can do yourself.

If you put any more chemicals on your hair, you'll be bald and the problem will solve itself.

 

The short cut will allow the fade to come through quicker, and the black won't look as harsh.

 

Letting it grow out will look tacky.
