Hello everyone,
I'm new to this site and in need of all the help i could get,
A little history about my hair, I have naturally dark brown hair, i dyed it light brown using one of those cheap revlon boxed they sell almost everywhere. i bleached my hair 2 days ago using L'Oreal quick blue bleach and Clairol Professional Premium Creme Dedicated Developer 30 vol and i also used half a vial of the ion Color Brilliance Absolute Perfection Booster Step 1, i also covered my hair with olive oil the night before, so the results where, 2 inches of my roots (my natural dark brown color) turned dark yellow which is what i was expecting, the rest of my hair which I've dyed before turned out pretty orange, it was so bad, but i didn't want to bleach again right after that, so i shampooed conditioned and then put olive oil again and left it on for a whole day, and then today i decided I'd bleach again because i didn't want to tone my hair when it was still orange, i bleached again using the same loreal quick bleach and 30 vol developer, without using the booster this time. i started with the darkest strands first and left it on for like 20 minutes, and then did the roots, and left the whole thing for about 50 min. total, shampooed and conditioned and the results aren't too diffident but a bit better i would say, my dyed section is still orange but a bit lighter and the roots are light yellow, and i really don't know how to get my whole hair to look like my roots, my hair is till pretty healthy didn't melt or anything, so what do you guys suggest???

Well, the first thing you should have done was to use a colour remover. You can still do this now. What country are you in?
Please, just stay away from the bleach. It might feel healthy now, but it can take the damage several weeks to really appear.

I live in the U.S, but I'm originally from Europe.

What counts is where you live now, because it's about the products you can get 🙂
For colour removers in the US, there's color oops and color fix. I can never remember which is the better one. I want to say color fix, but I need someone else to chime in on that!
This is absolutely the next step for you. You can do them up to three times.

Ok, Great, so i'll go get the color fix and treat my hair with it, my question is do i use it on all of my hair or just the section that is orange and refusing to lift? and can i tone right after that?
P.S sorry for rushing you but i really don't have enough time left before is start school, so i really need your advice. Thanks

I'm not sure if it's color fix, so don't rush out and get it yet! Color oops might be the one.
Just put it all over. It won't affect the hair that hasn't been previously dyed.

Colorfix (available at sallys) is much better than Color Oops. Just put it on the previously dyed areas, it only works on unnatural pigments

The orange is still there. The toner will fade and you'll have the same problem.

you are right it looked fine last night, but this morning with the sun light it's still pretty orange,
If i get the color fix what color do you think i'll end up with, because when i dyed my hair i didn't bleach it, so do you think if i use the colorfix i'll go darker since the hair underneath the dye wasn't bleached before dyeing it? or do you think the bleach that i used 2 days ago took care of that?

No, removing the dye will not make it darker.
Both the box dye that you used and the bleach will have lightened your base, so the colour remover will just take out the remaining artificial pigment that is making your hair look orange
