Hair dye mishap?

I'm a man, who, for reasons I'd rather not get into, ended up having my hair dyed from a darkish-medium brown with blond highlights to a significantly darker shade of brown. The people at the barber shop said it looked like my old hair color, but apparently nobody else did because they all started asking me if I dyed my hair and it was annoying, so I tried to dye it back to normal with L'Oreal hair dye. From what I read on the box, and the picture it showed, it should have lightened my hair by a couple shades, but instead, it looks like it may have actually gotten darker. How do I fix it? I don't want to go to a hair salon and pay them $50.

Honestly, I know this isn't what you want to hear, but I wouldn't do it yourself. Your just gonna dig yourself deeper and deeper until your hair ends up looking a mess.

Unless, you're gonna go much darker, like dark brown or black, because that masks everything you have in your hair now.

But from what I understand you want to go lighter, so I wouldn't mess around with that.

I would go to a salon and get corrective color done, or else go darker.

The color shades that are on the boxes of hair products that you can purchase at a store are often photos of what the color will look most like on undyed, natural hair, so any color you get to put on dyed hair is not going to turn out as the shown color, unfortunately.

Your best bet at this point may be to go to a professional or wait until the color begins to fade out (through washing) which will probably take several weeks
