Go to a beauty supply store, and get a box of hair bleach. I recently went through this! I had dyed my hair black (from blonde to red to brown) and decided I was tired of it. I first tried a dye remover, which APPEARED to take out some of the black, but when I put a brown dye on it a week later, it went straight back to black. Apparently if there is any dye whatsoever left in your hair, it will revert back to that color when you try to re-color it.
I used the bleach kit, leaving it on for the maximum suggested time--read the instructions carefully! It took it to a Bozo-orange stage, and I had to put an ash blonde over that to counteract the orange tone. Condition, condition, condition. Blow some cash on some good conditioner, because your hair will need it.
After leaving my hair 'rest' for about a month, I put a reddish-brown dye in it, and I've had no issues. I did a super-conditioning treatment about 3 times a week after this.
As a less extreme measure, you might want to try washing it with a clarifying shampoo 2-3 times a day if your hair is not damaged/dry; these types of shampoos strip color from your hair. If your hair is damaged you might want to consider going to a professional.
Hope this helps!
