Yesterday I was searching for something on the internet and I accidently found something called colorfix. It's supposed to remove all of the dye from your hair without damaging it (I've been looking forever for something that can remove the color, but won't damage it). It does not have ammonia or any of things to damage your hair. I've had my hair highlighted, highlighted a second time (because my hair had grown out a few inches), then a semi-permanent dye, (when i attempted to go back my natural color) which turned my hair green and black, and i got it dyed again now i have red hair. My hair is not damaged at all and I have no clue how, but it's not. My natural color is brown, though, and i love it. I want it back so much. Has anyone ever heard of colorfix or tried it? If so, does it work good?

Your natural hair color has been long gone since you started highlighting it out.
You can strip the color from your hair (supposed to make your hair bleached looking, but good luck with red hair, let's say.. orange...) but the products are only intended for removal of hair's color, period. Zero pigmentation to start over fresh. It is highly damaging to your hair. Don't let anyone try to convince you differently.
You want to color your hair as close to the natural shade as possible and let the real thing grow out. And yes, growing it out is the only way to bring back that lovely shade.
I will honestly tell you that red is the hardest color to get out of your hair. It is a long hard process. I strongly suggest you go to a professional to try to reach your natural shade, or you will end up with reddish brown hair instead of the close match to your natural.
