At the orange stage, you can go a darker blonde (like a level 6 or 7). If you want a light blonde, you have to go to yellow. This is from the Clairol Professional website. Think about the color you want and then lighten your hair to the appropriate contributing pigment level.

..."At this point, you might have orange hair. When you
get to this point, it’s time to color your hair. So choose a
permanent shade of blonde that you’d like to use. Since your hair will
tend to be a bit orange, darker ashy shades of blonde will look better
since they’ll cover up that orangey color and tone it down."..
is it true that you can color at a light orange stage? If so, it'd save me from one bleach application.

You still may have to use a filler. Permanent color should be just fine, but PLEASE strand test before doing your whole head! You may end up too ashy on your ends. Also, deep condition upon your LAST washing before you apply the color.....a day or two is better on your scalp.
I should think with blonde shades permanent is ok over bleach, with toners etc...
but then again I'm a brunette lady, so if I were you I'd wait for one
of the lovely blonde ladies here to give you some help

Hi,
what colour are you going for? Protein filler is a good idea
because your hair will be more porous now you've bleached it, and demi
or semi dye will probably be safest to use, depending on the colour you
want to achieve.

Ok, so I bleached my hair (it took 2 applications) and now it's that pale yellow color. Can I apply a permanent color to it now, or does it have to be a demi permanent color? Some people look like they suggest applying a protein filler and a demi permanent dye. What do you guys think?
