    Bleached hair, turned orange/brassy, want to go back to dark brown asap.
    Ok so I have pretty dark hair but not that dark, ( it has some red hue to it from the sun ) but I recently bleached 2 large sections of hair on each side of my head. I have already bleached it twice and ran out of bleach at the end because I have so much hair.. Anyway I'm left with pretty much platinum blonde roots and the rest is an orange/brassy color. I was told I need to bleach it one more time and tone it but I'm seriously done with this because my hair has definitely had enough with the bleach. I can deal with the way it looks right now because I can sometimes cover it since its kind of underneath. But I'd really like to just go back to a dark brown I guess number 2? That's what the lady at sallys gave me.. I was just wondering if that's okay to do because I've heard it turns green sometimes. I don't even mind if the sections that are bleached turn to a lighter brown or something I just want it to be somewhat all one color and not orange anymore.
    But yeah just wondering if it'd be okay to go back to a dark brown either today or sometime in the week or so.
    * I already know this isn't good for my hair but I can't deal with the color for much longer and do not want to bleach it again.

    You have to find a toner that has a "neutral" base to neutralize the brassy/orange tint in your hair.

    Yes as if the toner has "gold" base that would result in the brassy/orange tint coming out.

    I had the same probem when I highlighted my hair. It had an orange red tint. I just went over it with clairol perfect 10 in darkest brown and it blended in well. I think if you use dark brown it will come out fine but if you are using a light brown it might come out the color you want.
