Hair dye disaster! Help please!!!?

My mom and I (unsuccessfully) tried to dye my light brown hair blonde a few weeks ago. It came out copper colored so we tried to dye it back to the natural color. That did nothing so we dyed it dark brown but now my hair is a really unattractive dull brown color and my roots are BLACK. I don't really have the money to go to a salon to get it fixed. Is there ANYTHING I can do to salvage my hair? It looks pretty unsightly right now and short of bleaching it I'll try pretty much anything.

I'd like it to be uniform on my whole head -- meaning no terrible roots. I don't care if it turns out light brown, dark brown, even reddish brown. Anything that what it is now would be better.

Suggestions? I'm going on a beach trip with some friends in a few days and I don't want to look absolutely ridiculous!

    After bleaching it you should have bought some regular blonde hair color to keep lifting it from the copper color. I strongly suggest getting some moisturizer because after bleaching your hair it will be pretty damaged. You really can't do anything about the color because you went back on it and colored it with a dark brown. You can't lift it again for awhile, so you'll just have to keep it dark.

    U can buy a color remover its not as harsh as bleach. It will remove the color u have now an u should be able to put a nice brown all over and be even.
