Help! Tried to lighten my hair and it's bright orange :(?

lucky you!!!! mine turned out bright neon yellow...............yes it can be corrected at a salon in one session. But you will need to keep up the deep conditioning .......... it really dries out the hair. be glad at least its winter and you can wear a hat till you can get it corected. Its always worth the money to go to a salon for coloring. Relax and good luck.

The hairdresser added color to your hair. You stripped color out of your hair and ended up with orange. You can strip more color out to go blond but if you want another color you will need to see a pro. You will still have redish blond if you do it at home. All dark hair will go thru orange to red if you strip it. The semi-permanent light brown is now permanent orange. You stripped the color out and it "grabed" the next color you put on it. Good luck.

They will either have to go really light or really dark to get rid of the orange. You apparently have the red hair gene down under you natural hair color.

You should have experimented with the darker color at home, it's harder to mess up and left the bleaching for the pro.
