MY HAIR is still orange! PLEASE help me. I bought a color-depositing shampoo (violet), used baking soda, dawn dishwashing fluid and EV olive oil! NOTHING WORKS. PLEASE help.

How orange is orange?  Do you have a picture you can post?

I'm no color expert, but it sounds like you need a good toner to fix this.  Something that counteracts brassiness.  Please go to a good salon.  A toner should not cost too much.  Make sure you are upfront with them about everything you have done to your hair.

It's not BRIGHT orange but it still looks really unnatural. I want to seriously, like, shave my head right now.

dont do that. that would make you even more unhappy. go to a good salon, and have them do a toner only. this should be fairly inexpensive. the salon will know how to get rid of the orange. could you post a picture of the orange? there may be a way to do this at home, but we would need to see a picture in order to know what exactly to do.

What was the look you were going for?

If it was blonde, that is an easy fix by a professional.

When going blonde the hair has to go through phases one of which is orange.  The next is light orange, then dark yellow, med. yellow, light yellow, then blonde.

Don't panic, just go see a professional.

oooo. bad idea. some types of hair can handle being bleached twice, and still be fine. a third time might just bee to much. kinda lik the straw that broke the camels back. i would recommend that the salon do a toner, and a deep condition service to bring some softness back to the hair. the otc ones (was it the new tone refiner?) arent meant for getting rid of the orange. they are just meant to remove brassiness caused by buildup, and chemicals in the water.

my hair has been bleached get this 9 times. Now I can't bleach it anymore. I suggest never bleaching it past 2!!! Go to a salon get it fixed, save up some money 200 or so and go. It'll be worth it if blonde is really what you want. I did it and it worked out good and I kept it for a while.

BLEACHING does not get orange out, that is what is keeping the orange in there. Don't bleach again.
