problem with the color of my hair...?

Question

ok, here goes. 
I have always died my hair a very dark brown color, pretty much black but not quite. I decided the other day that I wanted to go lighter, so i started doing lots of research on how to do that. I ended up using loreal color zap because it said that it works amazingly, and got good reviews. well my hair turned orange. so i put on a dark golden brown dye - which made me look like a ginger kid. it's the color of a natural red head (about) and i want it to look more brown. 
my question is - what is a good brand of dye that will make my hair look brown? you know how some are crappy and don't work as well..i need a good one, hopefully with lots of conditioners.
i woulds prefer experience only, not just "i heard it was good" please
thanks to anyone who helps :-)

Get color from Sally's Beauty supply - any brand from there will be fine, they are all professional. I don't remember their names, but I've used them all. And you're going to want a neutral brown - nothing "warm" because that will make your hair more reddish.

I recently went from red to a dark brown.  I love Garnier 100% Color Vibrant Colors.  It makes my hair really soft, the color stays nicely and I dye my hair alot.  And it's not expensive at all.

One of the first rules of color is neutralization, so considering you almost have your license you should know this. Sorry but I take offense to your comment of stylists in salons know just as much as you do. If you knew just as much as they did you would not be on here asking how to neutralize orange or red in your hair. So in consideration to your question, ASH based colors neutralize red and orange.
