How can I make my hair a brownish orange?

I know everyone finds orange hideous, but i want to try it out to see if it looks modern with my hair style. I have dark brown hair and now I dyed it Strawberry blonde (it looks more like a brownish-strawberry auburn color; dark red) and I don't know where to go from here. I don't want to bleach it though???

dye it again. the color you want.
Reply:Since it is already a dark red it will take a little work to get it to a orange brown that I call Copper. Copper is a great color for warm skin tones and dark eyes. First you must strip your hair to get past the red stage...then you can put a copper color on it. If it comes out too warm after stripping the color out, apply a natural brown all over because the warmth will still show through without being too bright. Good Luck. If you think it will be too much work I would go to the professionals before you mess up your hair too much.
Reply:Dye your hair.
Reply:If you have dark hair, want it an orangy color, don't want to bleach it but want to use an over the counter color then I would say go for something lighter than your actual color. You can probably even pick a blonde haircolor (not bleach since you don't want to bleach it) and color it with that...it should lighten it enough. If not, you may have to use bleach to get what you want. If it makes it too light then you can pick the color you want (try a semi permanent so you don't fry your hair) and dye it again.
