Hello! I dye my hair a lot and I had at the time a black under my bangs, red ontop and blonde underneath. The red was a lighter orangy red. I wanted to get rid of all of it and go back to a blonde Color. I bleached the black and red twice then (my mistake) put an ash blonde over top. My hair is greenish gray and also has a bit of red shining through. I can not go to a salon I don't have the money for that and I need something quick and easy because I'm very picky and ADD about my hair and Color... lol. My Color right now is a medium dark blonde that has a green gray tint. The green and gray tint is very light. Looks like a very faded out Color. The picture its still a little wet so its slightly lighter than that. I was thinking about dying it a dark golden blonde over top with a red base? If I'm correct I think it will cover it. My hair is not terribly damaged but id rather not damage it even more with bleaches and Color oops like products. Please help! EDIT

Where are u from? In boots they have a hair stripper so it takes it back to the colour before? It's near 4-6 pounds

In order to get the ash tones out of your hair, you should buy a warm/gold/red based color to go overtop of the ash. Or buy toning shampoo. Look up some gold based shampoos! Good luck! :) xx

If I use a 8g loreal golden blonde will it work? Or should I go more red?

Depends on what shade you'd prefer. If you want a hint of red, do red, but I think the gol would be best if going to an 8. The red tones will make your hair appear darker... Gold shouldn't make much of a difference except to eliminate ash/greens. (also, good job picking loreal!! The best :))

The other problem is its a bit blotchy. I hope that it will look like low and high lights after I put the dye in but I'm not sure. I think ill do the golden blonde then in a few weeks bleach highlights in my hair

Find a mocha and use a color wheel. (Red contrasts green, blue contrasts orange and purple contrasts yellow.) to get rid of green you will need a red tinted color.

Quick fix is camomile tea to correct ash hair tones! Cheap and won't damage hair! I have been a color tech and correction specialist for 9 years! So if u have no money try this!

Colour strippers like colour oops don't work on bleached hair, I'd go a little darker just to even out the hair and lighten it gradually over time.

Washed my hair with the tea and aslo tried ketchup? It got most of it out! 8g dye is in and I can see the red undertone well and sure I got over all the ugly. Thanks guys. (:
