You could do a hair mask to give it a little bit of health back and then bleach it again and go blonde?

But honestly the color doesn't look bad on you.. It kinda looks more like a golden orange with a little brown

If you want to dye it again you should go there, they show the actual color of the hair when you dye it &it gets really well! But if you just want to strip off the color I think you should get a hair color remover

Bleach tends to make your hair go orange, especially when dyed in large sections. Did you get it bleached and dyed professionally? I would go see your stylist and talk to them about it and possible solutions :)

You could try buying a Toner from a beauty store, such as Sally's. I bleached my hair and it went orange and the toner helped a lot. Best of luck!

Lol same thing happened to me. I just went to a beauty school and they toned the orange and it made a big difference so you should try going to a salon or beauty school for right now then after that keep doing hair masks to restore your hair then bleach it again :)

It looks fine but if you don't like it try a hydrating hair and scalp mask for now and dye or tone it in a week or so.

Yea, Haileys right, toners don't do much for orange hair except cancel out a tiny bit of brassiness. You can deal with your orange for about a week or two and get a hair mask in once or twice a week to strengthen your hair back up a bit and then the dye should take without a problem, you just have to wait a little and give it a little health boost.

Same thing happened to me...I didn't use bleach on my hair but a box color years ago...but mine was much brighter (think the comedian"Carrot Top"). I just deep conditioned the mess out of it and used sulfate based shampoos to further strip/tone down the color. I just grew it out. But definitely seek out the assistance of someone at Sally before submitting it to anymore color just to be on the safe side.
