Wanting Brown Hair, Need Some Help!

So my hair is split blue half and half pink with so many colours popping up since I've washed, did a vitamin c treatment, and used dandruff shampoo. I need a little help from going to this, to a nice brown colour. I've decided after a few years to go ahead and go natural for a while and let my hair grow after getting back to a natural brown. Please help!

I used Splat colours to do this dye, and I had bleached it to get the colours so I would really prefer to not bleach if I don't have to. I've tried fading it, but it's not really working. Any tips or tricks anyone can give?

I keep trying to use the fading techniques I find online, but its not really working.I really want to go brown/red, but this blue/pink is just being super stubborn.  *anyone*

I also don't know what the black crush stone is, could you tell me more about that?

Also, what brands do people recommend for going natural colours? Whats your go to brand?

Adore are really good for browns as they come out the 'true' colour rather than really pink or really green as some brown dyes that are for use on natural hair can. I use Mahogany by Adore, alternated with a clairol one in Medium Brown that says it lasts 8 washes (I'm in the UK though so I don't know if that one is available in the US)

Do you think those could help cover the blue and pink I have? I've never tried Adore, but I hear a lot of good things about the brand.

I went back to brown from neon red, but I went ginger first and I used a bit of turquoise to damp down the brightness of the red showing through so maybe you might need to find an opposite colour to tone yours down?

To be honest though if you're happy to go quite dark I got good coverage with Adore Mahogany which has red and purple tones and comes out really nice.

I eventually got tired of Adore fading and used a permanent brown professional dye to cover over the previously red bits which I now top up with Adore to keep it fresh, but I wouldn't advise going straight for the permanent dye as it could look really weird over the bright colours as it is designed to be used over natural hair and you need fillers to create the right colour when doing colour corrections with permanent dyes - I found letting a base of Adore build up prevented the need for this when i did go permanent!
