How to remove orange tint from hair?

Asked by tmurphy 12 months ago, 3 answers.

I was bored one day, so I got my sister to drive me to the grocery store, and I picked up a box of Garnier 'Bleaching Blonde' hair dye. I have pretty dark brown hair, and my hair had salon-done highlights in them, which I had gotten a while ago, and were fading. I did my hair, but I don't know if I didn't leave it in long enough or what, but its a nice blonde color except for the fact that in the right light it looks COMPLETELY orange! Is there any thing I can do or use to get rid of these orange tints without redying my hair back right away? Because I like the blonde, I hate the orange.

THANKS so much!

This is exactly what happened to my hair, no joke. Here's what I did. My mistakes will help you.
I had pumpkin orange hair.
So I used dye that matched my natural hair color as a 'fix'
This made my hair greenish blond.
Then I used a coffee brunette color.
This made my hair platinum blond.
I almost dyed my hair black just to fix it.
DON'T.
If I had, my hair would have started falling out.
So I went to the salon, paid $200 to get it fixed the right way.
Go to a professional if you love your hair enough to save it, the best I could get was a strawberry blond. I was dirty blond.
Now I just dye my hair dark and if I want highlights, I get them done professionally.
Much luck.

Possible causes of the orange tint: Didn't process long enough, your hair has red tones in it, (yellow and red make orange.)Or the color just wasn't a very good quality.

Remedies: Seek a hair sylist. Or, try 'violet shampoo and conditioner' by Joico. (be careful, though. Don't leave it on too long or it will turn your hair purple.)Try bleaching it again and risk frying your hair OR hair folicals. You can also try using an Ash base hair color. (The ones that turn purple while they're processing in your hair.)

If you try bleaching it again, be super careful not to leave it on too long. Maybe try a processing cap or using heat to speed up the process.

If all else fails, like I said, get to the nearest salon and beg for help.

bleach it again. or for a less damaging solution, dye it an ash color. it eliminates orage-red tints. it totally works!
