If that doesn't do it then I would recommend you do several hours-long hot conditioning treatments to get the rest of the color out and get your hair in the best condition you can. As long as the pigment remains you will not get the color results you want. I did the same thing with some Redkin Shades EQ.
Got to the drug store and go into the section for African decent products, get some Queen Hellene or equally old-fashioned deep conditioner, saturate your dry hair with it, put a plastic bag or cap on top, then use a knit or polar fleece cap on that, leave on for as long as you can stand (hours) a few of these should either get the color out or at least get your hair ready for bleach.

Thank you so much for the advice! I think I've got some cheapo shampoo from a camping trip and if that doesn't work, we'll head off for some heavy duty conditioner.
