Hey.
Late last year i died my hair black [big mistake i know], since it was previously platinum blonde. Since around april i've been trying to get it back lighter, of course bleach just turned it orange, so i ended up with a dark brown on it.
I went to the hairdressers who coloured my hair a reddy brown and did a blonde panel, which is more or less ginger except where they died over my roots. This was in may, since then i've left it, my roots are an inch or so through. Although i'm not the most patient of people, even though i'm growing my hair.
My question is, is there any way i could get my hair lighter without having to walk around with ginger hair for weeks? At 17 it's hardly very fashionable :lol:
People i've spoke to have suggested getting the colour stripped, but surely it would still go a gingerish shade and leave my hair very dry? Or should i just be more patient and wait it out?
I've seen people go from darker colours to blonde so i know i'm not trying to achieve the impossible, i also know this could be time consuming and i don't fancy my hair looking and feeling like straw.
Sorry for the essay but any help/advice would be appreciated.
Thanks xx
Heres some pictures of my current hair colour to get a better idea:

And how far my roots have grown through: [not the best of pictures, one side looks darker due to bad lighting]

Finally the shade of blonde i am eventually hoping to achieve [kind of a darkish blonde like the colour on top]:
