How do I get rid of light brown streaks without using any harsh hair dyes that will dry out my hair?

I highlighted my hair light brown in May. My hair is dark brown, so I decided I would do light brown streaks in it. My hair grew an inch since then, but I don't want to continue touching them up. I want to go back to having my hair all one color again. They have faded a bit, but they're still somewhat visible. How do I get my streaks to not be visible anymore without dying it, because I don't want my hair to get dried out from dying it too much. My friend suggested I keep them until the top of the streak reaches my shoulders and then cut the rest of my hair, so that I will have light ends and the rest will be dark. The thing is that I have really long hair, so it wouldn't look very good since the roots would be showing for about a half a year until they reached that low. Is there anything I can do before school starts?

I would opt for a Demi perm. over a Semi perm. The difference is the demi has a small amount of chemical. However the result is a fuller deposit, and a longer lasting color. Good colors to look for in this family that you can ask for are, EQ Shades by Redken. Or PM Shines by Paul Mitchell.

You can check either the Redken website, or the Paul Mitchell website for salons in your area that use these color lines. These are PROFESSIONAL only.
