Answer 1

Bleach it again and buy the proper stuff.

Go to a shop like Sallys and by the powder peroxide and the 12% cream bleach.

Depending on the colour afterwards you can tone it.

Careful though, don't want your hair to fall out!

If your hair is thin and damaged i would dye it back to brown.

Answer 2

If you bleach it again, it might really burn your hair and ruin it.  Go to the beauty supply and get a toner in a really white color.  Use the toner to get rid of the red.  

Answer 3

Go to a professional if possible if not use a toner.  You can get them at sally beauty supply.  Depending on the color the hair turned will depend on the toner you get.  If it's too red get toner with a green base, for too orange use one with a blue base, and for to much yellow one with a purple base.  I am not sure what you mean by ginger but when I think ginger I think orange.  If you are not sure as some one at the store what color they think your hair looks.

A toner is used to correct hair color, when your hair has to much of a certain color in it, in your case too much ginger, you can use a toner.  Most commonly it's used over highlights when they come out a little orange, red or too bright of a yellow(That's also known as being Brassy).

Answer 4

I did the same thing, its the red pigment that is the hardest to get out of your hair.  Do it again, as you will eventually go blonde but it will strip your hair of all its colour and it will be straw like you will need to put heaps of conditioner on it also.

Answer 5

Don't bleach it again.

If possible, go see a professional.

(I had a dilemma with this.)

PS. Like the girl above me said, it is hard to get rid of all the red pigment. I went to see a professional the day after my dilemma, and she fixed my problem.
