On the back of the box, it will tell you what developer to use and they'll have it at Sally's too. I recommend Clairol Professional, not the liquid in the bottle but the tubes that are in boxes. I'd also pick up a packet of the Ion conditioner for dry/damaged hair. This should all run you about $15 or so. Let me know if I can help with anything else.
Whenever I had my mishap with my dye from the drugstore, I made an appointment a few weeks later and had it colored darker. I then waited around a month or a little longer until it had faded a tad and had it highlighted. It takes time to get to that lighter color you're possibly wanting to achieve but at least your hair won't be dead from processing it yourself.

Thanks so much. I really wanted to go to a dark blonde to light brown. I mixed the corrector, a lot of it, with some purple tint shampoo. The bright orange is nearly gone, but the color is still more red than I would like.
