Answer 1

there are a couple ways to fix your hair
1. Either go a dark blond, if you can, or a light brown, under (where its orange) and try to go blond on top, so you have the 2 tone look, you can add a few streaks to the top layers as well. (to help blend it).

2. you can go all over a color darker than the orange, like a medium brown, with lighter highlights on top,

3. (this is very damaging)...... consider using a color remover (available at the beauty supply), or more bleach.... on the orange part...... the problem you are going to run into is that you put another color over it, so it makes it more difficult to get it out. (you can not make your color lighter with another color, it has to be a bleach.)
let it sit until you get it to a pale blond (yellow) and you think most of the color is gone, then get a mild toner and tone your hair, or color over it with a light blond.

the last way is very damaging to the hair, and before you do it make sure your hair is in good enough condition to do it.
make sure you do a deep conditioning treatment weekly from then on....
Good luck Hon.

Answer 2

OK calm down!
I'm a bleacher/perpetual dyer.........

you can wait and re bleach out that layer
be sure to over condition after the fact...
A quick fix is a purple or violet toner for platimum hair use 40 vol developer with it... wont un orange it complelely but it will take the edge off

Answer 3

Go to the beauty supply store and get powder bleach and mix per instructions with peroxide. Apply with a brush to the orange roots. It will bleach your hair white however, then apply a toner over all of your hair.

Answer 4

I would recommend going to a professional and letting them fix it. What you really need is a toner to counteract the red you would need a violet bass. However I really recommend a professional
