Help - my hair has gone ginger and I want it blonde / white?

For the past 18 months I have been colouring my hair red but have decided I want to go back to being blonde. I used the extra strong colour B4 but it left my hair orange with some brown so I then put on a Schwarzkopf Live Colour XXL - Absolute Platinum but sadly it didn't much help it go lighter. Please can someone advise me on what hair products will help my hair go blonde/white. Please do not advise me to go to the hairdressers.

Update:

FITZIE - What do you do with the tea bags?

    When using a blonde ginger is just a stage if you don't panic and keep it on it then changes to blonde,my hair is black naturally with some grey now too and I use Loreal Recital Preference it has a pre-lightner built in and it takes my hair to a realistic very light blonde in an hour.You can get it in boots,tesco's asda or superdrug to name a few.

    What ever you do don't bother to try the lemon juice remedy, cause it only works if you already have blonde hair, but getting your hair in the sun is proven to make it go lighter, and using teabags can make it go lighter as well. If you do this every day it will start to get lighter, then you could add lemon juice with your teabags.

    hope this works =)

    Source(s): well with the tea bags you can either put a bit of cold water on them and then leave them to soak in your hair, or you can put water on them and then drain the liquid into a bowl and pour onto your hair. (you only would need about 5)

    buy a bleaching kit, its the only way of course because you've got red undertones from dying your hair it wont go white blonde but will lighten it a hell of alot more , then use a ash colored blonde toner on top which you can buy from places such as boots and superdrug.

    Go to a nearby salon and ask them for the best hair dye they got. Ask some friends
