Alright ya'll so right now, I'm using One'n Only Colorfix! I've already done one application and had great results, doing another application which is sitting on my head right now. It's worked really well and I'm hoping that this will get the rest of the nasty dye out of my hair.
I've got a question for those of you who have experience with Colorfix though. I read on the ingredients, none of the mixers contain hydrogen peroxide. Which is great! But the processing lotion, that you put on last, does. What's up with this? I've read that sometimes the processing lotion can cause your hair to become a little darker than before you put it on. Is the processing lotion necessary? And will it further bleach my hair, or darken it? Any help or advice is appreciated :)
I will be updating soon with pictures of my progress!
***EDIT***
So, I finished the process (for now) and after 2 applications, this is what I have:

After the 1st application, not a huge difference

Keep in mind I have been dying my hair something between red and brown (with bleach in between) for a LONG TIME. I did no expect to get these results! The process seemed to almost relax my hair a bit, but it doesn't help that my hair does not hold much curl from all the damage anyways..
It almost looks freshly henna'd! :D I'm not digging the roots though. I am debating using the rest of the applications to get a super fresh start, or to dye it a chocolatey brown to match my natural color so it is not SO embarassing to grow out ;)
FYI, I used the processing lotion. Didn't seem to make a huge difference in the color, but whatevs :shrug: I am happy.
I would definitely recommend ColorFix, there was no damage to my hair, in fact it almost felt healthier
