Orange hair!

Hi! So, I've recently bleached my hair. I'm naturally a level 9-10 but have been dying my hair brown for a number of months (after a big hair disaster with red before!) I successfully got my hair back to blonde at the very beginning of the year but stupidly started dying it dark again in August. I'm fed up of the ridiculous roots I was getting so have decided to go back to blonde. I bleached my hair for the first time on Tuesday and then again on Wednesday before doing it a third time today. (All with 30vol.) It's definitely lifted a hell of a lot but I've currently got bright white roots and still some orangey colours in it although as it's wet right this second, it could be slightly darker because of the water. I'm just wondering what other people have done to go over the brassiness to get to a nice light blonde? Or light ash blonde? I obviously don't want to have to do another straight bleach because my ends are officially falling off but just want some guidance.

I kindly ask that you do not tell me how damaging the bleach is and that I shouldn't have bleached my hair so much in a short space of time. I have very thick and strong hair that could probably be set alight and still survive! I know that it's damaging and I know my hair is damaged now but I do not wish to be told that I did wrong because I'm perfectly happy with what I've done and the damage it has caused. I only ask for recommendations on what to do about the colour.  πŸ˜€

Try a colour remover, although if your ends are 'falling off' i wouldn't recommend any further processing, just a trim.
If you had started with colour removers instead of bleach you could be where you are now, (probably less orange) without any damage.
the safe way to get permanent dye out of hair is up to three rounds of colour remover, not bleach.
You can tone with direct dyes diluted in conditioner, this will not further damage your hair. hard to advise a colour without a pic though. Violet tones yellow, blue tones orange.
Any further processing with oxidative dyes will cause breakage
