Are you in a rut and wondering why your hair won't bleach beyond orange? Unfortunately, orange hair does not fade on its own, because yellow and orange are natural pigments of your hair. So you will actually have to do something to get rid of orange tones.

What are the options? You can remove orange from your hair, re-bleach your hair or simply go darker. Here are the stylist's tips on how these ways to fix orange actually work.
The first step would be to assess to what level your hair has been lifted to choose the right toner. For the toner to work properly, you need to use a toner that is at the same level that your hair is lifted to: if it is at an 8, you are toning your orange hair with an 8.
The second part of working with toner is choosing a color that will cancel out the orange, brassy tones. This is where you might want to use a color wheel for some help. If you find orange on the wheel, you will see that the color directly opposite, or the complementary color, is blue. So you will need to strengthen your hair with a toner of the same level and that has blue undertones to neutralize the orange color of the hair.
