bleaching gone wrong...
So today I decided to be spontaneous (bad idea) and attempt to go blond. I have med/dark brown hair. I ended up at the drug store and came back with Loreal Super Blonde... its a bleach. So I did everything according to the instructions and when all was said and done, most of my hair ended up a light brown which looks pretty nice, but the top of my head (probably 2 inches from each side of my scalp) is a horrid yellow/orange. I know the typical piece of advice would be for me to seek professional help. But honestly, I do not have the money for that right now. I've contemplated 2 options: using a blond dye over everything and hoping for the best... or just re-dying it my natural color, or almost black. Would black do the trick? I am helpless. Thanks a bunch!

Your roots are new and will lift quickly compared to your ends.
You got this far. I wouldn't waste the effort with going back dark.
Do you have pictures?
You can attempt to bleach your roots again but leave it on until it's a lighter yellow/blonde. To be safe you can wash it out and blow/air dry. Then bleach the rest of your hair to get to the same shade.
You should buy a toner :) A purple/blue will take out yellow/orange tones. You put it on as if it were shampoo and let it soak in then wash out. I know beauty supply stores carry $3-4 "packets" of toner, bleach, hair treatments, etc.
If your hair is damaged then look into a cheap protein shampoo. Use this 1-2 times a week and your hair will be soft.

I have medium brown hair and I tried to dye it really light, it came out a more brassy orange color. So the next day I dyed it back a darker brown, I would go with that choice. Trying to dye it blond again will probably cause more problems, if you have dark hair and you want to go blond, you're going to have to go to a professional. So in the meantime, go back brown. When you get the money to go blond then do so professionally. Good luck!

Borrow or beg money from friends and family, and see a proffesional.
Do not dye your hair agian with store bought dye. There are all sorts of risks with that: Your hair might go green, or fall out. It's just way too many chemicals to throw on your head all at once.
Ask for an early Christmas present.
Pass the hat around your friends and beg for thier mercy and $10 bucks.
Ask if anyone has a colourist as a friend or family member who might cut you a bit of deal.
See a pro.
