have you considered asking your lecturer?
Ouch, you will have trouble getting all that out properly! You can try stripping it but no guarantee you will get it all out esp as you have died different bits different colours and overdyed different parts.

You may end up having to bleach it (which will also damage your hair), dye it back to it's normal colourso the roots won't show and wait for it to grow out while getting a good trim every 6 weeks so you eventually get rid of all the damaged bits as it grows out. I'd invest in some good hair treatments too, preferably not to heavily chemically based!

If you want to try stripping it I'd strongly recommend a good hairdresser who knows what they are doing, be prepared to go back more than once and for a rather steep bill.

Maybe they could do it as a project at college as long as supervised properly.
Try using Head and Shoulders, it wont get it all out but should help. Natural is always best :0
Yes, try the head and shoulders thing, but wash it a few times in quick succession for best results.
I've had my hair professionally stripped twice.......to protect the hair, and if done properly, this is a long and very expensive process.
I walked around with 'colourless' hair for 2 days, as my hairdresser rang Schwarzkopf for advice and they said there should be 48 hours minimum between stripping and introducing new colour.
coloring hair is not damaging it if done professionally.....why not have an overall base color of your choice; its kinder to the scalp.

Bleach baths are usually to turn dark hair platinum and should only be done in a salon using a climazone to quicken the process and lessen scalp/hair damage.
