How can I remove the orange from bleached hair?

I bleached my hair one day then again 24 hours later. It is still slightly orange. Can a blue or violet toner remove the remaining orange. How long should I wait to do this?

Your hair obviously has a red base to it, so you probably won't be able to completeley bleach it all out. The idea is to bleach it untill you get it close to blonde, then use a toner (ash blonde colour), which will cover the orange and give you the desired effect.

How to take out the redish or bronzy color in blonds is to buy a shampoo called shimmer lights its a purple shampoo that you mix with any color shampoo. It takes out any unwanted blonds and will leave you with a really pretty wheat blond. I just did this to my hair I LOVE it. But be careful only use it once a week and dont use too much it is purple and can turn your hair a light purple but it really works/

you need to be reading the Hair Blog I have on becoming a Home Hair Colorist...the professional way... we are talking about this very subject...but you need to sit down and read it... throughoughly I have condensed it as far as it can be... for my readers... but you need to read the post on decoorization...so you can see why it is orange...
then you will understand how to get rid of the orange...
by using either a color remover or a bleach... one is less damaging than the other but more expensive and harder to find.
so there are many different options... depending on who -what- & where -you are...

I have orange hair too I've died it twice with the store brand clariol bleach kit this is not the first time this has happend to me I usuallyt use the radicial bleach kit from sallys twice then a toner I ushally have to cut the ends of my hair because it is so dry then I put a hot oil treatment on my hair and after I wash that out I leave condiner on over night but I would try a toner with a blue violett after you grt youre hair light enoughf

I just did the same thing... except mine is more yellow... how annoying...the thing is some sections went a really light nice blond- and I think those were the parts that had it on a bit longer... so maybe it's worth it to try again.

First things first. Sally's Beauty supply store is wonderful. you will need a 30 volume creme developer I think 'salon care' is the best and a packet of 'quick Blue' bleach its less harsh so you can insure that you cover all your roots. the shimmering lights shampoo is okay but I've found it doesnt really get out the yellow orange too much and I used it everyday for 2 weeks with no result. I would suggest also picking up a creme toner from Sally's as well. use a whichever blonde color that is your desired look mix equal parts toner and equal parts 20 volume creme developer in a mixing tray and apply it to shampooed damp hair leave it in for about 15 minutes with or without covering your hair and that should help give you a more natural blonde and take out all the yellow and orange color

I got mine done at the hair dressers, I had been dying my hair dark brown to black for years, when im naturally a lightish blonde. it still went yellow/orange, then after a toner which they kept referring to as a 'semi permenant' was washed through my hair, which blends all the colours and kills orange.
it killed a lot of the orange!! like they just washed it through for like a minute and it was like magic.
my hair is still slightly yellow. but 100 times better, and only one hair dresser seemed to know about this magic toner in the salon!*shrugs* only used for 'nightmare cases' apparently lol
