Re Coloring or Stripping - Dark Color to Blonde

by Ash

I've been coloring my hair for years now and for a while I choose darker colors. When I tried to dye my hair lighter, it was impossible because of the build up of dark colors. A few days ago, I decided to strip my hair. I did it with a Loreal color remover and then dyed it a dark iridescent blond. However, the color didn't come out just right and there are still traces of dark in my hair.

I don't know whether to dye it a different color and maybe it will tone it out or strip it and dye it again. And I don't have money to see a professional. What is the best advice?
