All brown hair contains red undertones. When bleaching brown hair, the red/orange color that appeared is what you consider your base tone. What generally has to happen in cases like yours is that you need to use a two process color service – step one is lightening, and step two is toning – or a high-lift color service using a complementary color base to get the results you desire. I presume you want a natural-looking blonde, without an excessive amount of red or orange tone to the color.
What this means is that you will want to use the lightener until the hair is as “light” as you want. This doesn't mean the shade that you want, just the level of darkness is what I'm referring to. Your next step will be to use a toning color (selecting a haircolor that is the shade you want) which uses a blue-green to green base color (sometimes referred to as an ASH shade) which will help neutralize the red-orange of your hair.
Do be cautious of over-lightening your hair. With darker hair shades, there is a lot of pigment to disperse in order to lighten the hair, and the chemical process that dissipates the pigment molecules in the hair shaft, also take a toll on the structure of the hair. The hair becomes more porous, and less able to hold moisture. This causes the hair to be dry and brittle, and can – if you aren’t careful – damage the hair beyond any hope of coping with it or cause the color t either not take or look splotchy.
I would recommend that you consult a professional stylist to help you adjust the color results you’ve gotten, so that you can be assured of being as safe as possible regarding your hair. If that is not an option, be sure to use a color formula (of the appropriate shade and base pigment as specified above) and mix it with equal parts of 10-volume peroxide and one ounce of your favorite conditioner. This should tone down the red-orange color in your hair without damaging it too much. Just be aware that from this point on, if you want to avoid having brassy hair after a coloring service you need to stick with dyes that are either cool or ash tones. And if bleaching hair in the future just know that you have to bleach past the red/gold stage before you will get to the level of blonde that you want.
