Shit. Major hair dye emergency. Please help!

I'm auburn naturally. Yesterday I stupidly decided to bleach my hair. I am now a curious mix of bright blonde, slightly darker blonde and fluorescent fucking orange!

How can I fix this? I have work tomorrow! Do I get a darker blonde dye?

What sort of state of health was your hair in before? Has the bleach job seriously damaged it?

I ask this because this has happened to me more than once, won't be told and I panicked and decided to bleach it again until it was a pale yellow, then I put either a toner or an ash/neutral blonde dye over it and it was fine.

I know this is BAD ADVICE and it did damage the condition of my hair, but bleaching always does. If you still fancy going blonde and you don't think your hair will fall off, it's something to consider. Or get a hairdresser to do!

Even it up with a non-permanent (Nice N Easy 6-8 washes one) if you can whilst you get to a hairdresser?

Do NOT put an ash blonde over it. It will go green on the blonder bits.

Go and buy an auburn permanent dye from Loreal excellence range. Level 5 auburn is what you need.

Can we see a photo op?

Will add photo when DCs are in bed.

I've found a hairdresser locally who will put it to brown for £40. Hoping she has space tomorrow!

It's not orange any more. Just patchy.
