I colored my hair in August. It had been a golden blonde(In January), which I loved, the first time I got it highlighted. The second time(In May), the lady made all of my hair a white blonde color! It looked plain out scary. So, I went to a beauty school place to try and get them to dye my hair back to my natural brown color(First week of August). Huge mistake. They made my hair almost black and it had green in it! Two days later, I went to a hair cut place called Fantastic Sams and they tried to re-dye it and it turned out a red color with blonde highlights. Because of only waiting two days, it's still damaged and it's December. My hair has already started growing out by three inches finally and I want that part to stay the same. Is there any way that I can get this color out without damaging my hair any further and without having to dye what has already grown out?

DYEING DOES NOT DAMAGE THE HAIR
bleaching does (and straiting and curling and heat)
bleaching it is where they lift the color to make a blonde
so it sounds to me your hair has been bleached twice.. that means its double processed
which means if you use bleach again your hair is gunna start falling out
but trust me dye is fine
i suggest you dont do it your self
if you want your hair done nice you dont go to chain salons .. all the girls that work there are strait out of beauty school
your going to have to go to a nice salon
it might be a bit pricy but i say if you just want it one color it will be about 70
what they have to do it put filler on your hair this will kind of fill the blonde so when you put the brown color you want over it it wont turn a green [ash] because thats what happens when you try and put brown over blonde ;the base of brown is ash which can turn out green in some occasions if you get someone that dosnt know what their doing.. but anyway after the filler they can put the brown you want on and it will take fine.
but DO NOT BLEACH OVER THE BROWN rember your damaged bleached hair is still under the brown its only covered. so after you get it brown dont go blonde again right away wait it out..

Use conditioning treatments- whether it's storebought like Sunsilk or Pantene Restoratives, or a simple olive oil treatmeant. After a couple weeks, your hair should show some improvement.
When you DO dye it again, go to a salon (don't do it yourself) because they'll know more about it. Also, you can tell them that you want the color to match your roots, so they'll have something to go by and not just a vague description, which may have caused the problem before.
Lastly, wait longer than two days next time you re-dye your hair! At least a month is best to give your hair time to recover.
