Hey guys. My first post here, hello!
I dyed my fair-brown hair blond the other day. I used Schwarzkopf LIVE Ultra-Lightener. I know nothing about hair colouring. This was probably a silly idea.

Basically, its gone a bit orange. Not majorly, it just looks like a bit gingery tint. The dye has hydrogen Peroxide, so i think it is a bleach not just a dye.

So, if i want it to go bleach-blond-white or a more natural blond colour, what can I do? Repeat with the same stuff or ring a salon?

Any pointers would be hot. Cheers.

Blonde dyes usually do have lightening ability via peroxide.  To go bleach blonde you will either have to use a bleach kit, then tone it (because it will come out yellow after the bleach alone, so you will need a violet toner to put over it afterwards), or depending on if your hair is light enough now, you may be able to get there with a high lift dye.  You would need a dye with a blue base to counter the orange you have now (without that, it will go more orange next time you do it). If you want to learn all of this kind of stuff, read more here on the hair color board before acting, if you don't, a salon is the easiest thing.
