Hey all!
I recently used colour b4 on my hair to get rid of my hair dye. As expected it turned out brassy/orange and I'm not quite sure what to do next.
I used to dye my hair red year after year (first with Adore hair dye, then with box colors), then got tired of the stains I'd leave behind on pillowcases when staying over at a b&b or at friends. After using colour b4 my hair was a briiiight orange. I used Manic Panic ultra violet to get out the worst orange, but I couldn't get my hair to an ash tone, like my natural hair color. A 9.1 dye and 8.1 dye did nothing to my hair at all, so I went to the hairdresser.
She told me my hair was full of silicones (have been without silicones, sulfates and parabens for years save for the Adore hair color, but eh) and the only way to get back to my hair color was to color it with a 4.0 dye, which was almost black, and recolor every two weeks to get out the red and make everything an even color. She advised me to cut my hair back to APL and, once the red was out, to dye my hair back to my natural hair color. I followed her advice on the dye and had it dyed, but I hated the color. Too dark, made me look so pale.
Sooo after sticking with the dark color for five months ("I'll get used to the color") my roots were an ashy brown and the rest of my hair was black and it just looked horrible... I used colour b4 again and it left me with this:

Not too bad, but too orange-y and warm combined with my ash brown roots ( it's a lot more orange-y with daylight). The hairdresser shop advised me to dye it with a 7.00 color to get it close to my original hair color, but I'm not sure whether this dye color will do the trick and take my orange lengths close to my natural hair color and it'll even show on my hair. Does anybody has any advice for me? A darker color, maybe a toner or am I good to go with the 7.00? I want to stay farrrr away from bleach and I don't mind growing it out once my roots blend in with my lengths and my hair is a cool tone.

Thanks ever so much!
