HELP! HOW TO STRIP BROWN/ORANGE HAIR!

by TRISH CARNEY
(ORLAND HILLS IL)

HI, I WENT TO A BEAUTY SHOP AND WANTED MEDIUM ASH BROWN HAIR WITH BLONDE HIGHLIGHTS. I HAVE NATURALLY A 6 COLOR WITH A SLIGHT ORANGE TINT FROM STORE BOX DYES. SO THE HAIRDRESSER USED A BACKTRACK LIFTER OR STRIPPER THAT MADE MY HAIR CARROT RED, AND THEY SAID DON'T WORRY PUTTING ON A BROWN COLOR. I KNEW DEEP DOWN THEY WERE NOT DOING IT RIGHT BUT BIT MY TONGUE. NOW... I CAN STILL SEE THE ORANGE...EVEN WORSE!!! I LEFT WITHOUT GETTING HIGHLIGHTS, AS THIS IS NOT THE BASE I WANT WITH ORANGE. CAN I STRIP MY HAIR MYSELF AND WHAT SHOULD I BUY? IS EFFASOL BY LOREAL OK? WHAT VOLUME BLEACH DO I BUY? I NEED TO GET IT TO A BLONDE BASE, NOT ORANGE. THEN WHAT MEDIUM ASH COLOR BRAND OR PERMANENT OR SEMI DO I PUT ON?
HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!
THANX, TRISH

YOU, do NOT need to do your own hair!!! those products you mention are VERY HARSH and YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!!!! if you want to have hair left, go to a professional!! if you do ANY of the things you mentioned, YOURSELF, you are gonna end up cutting all your hair off because it will break off on its own!!!! why not just go to another professional and add a semipermanent ash brown and then add higlights. simple.
