I would like to dye my hair back to its natural honey brown/dark blonde color...?

the problem is a hair dresser dyed it and it was RED. I have dyed my hair several times to try and correct it with, Ion, Clariol, and demi-colors with Color Charms. I keep turning RED!!! it's alot less red and more brown. Whats a good hair colorant that doesn't turn red. I don't want to damage my hair further by taking all the color out.

Thanks for any and all suggestions.

    You don't say what colour you have now. It may be that you have a lot of red in your hair. Then you need to take that into consideration when you choose your shade. There are very many different browns.

    I don't understand why it would be red if you choose the right shade. Do you mean that it becomes red later, or immediately? If it fades (and it will), then you will get red. That is why you need to do frequent retouches to prevent this. You also need to use the correct products to prevent fading.

    Without knowing more, it is hard to tell you what to do. You should have a consultation with a qualified professional hair colourist for more ideas, someone that can actually see you and your hair.
