It's not bad:) I've used that toner and it worked wonders.

I used t18 before and it actually made my hair darker so this time I got t18 but I'm nervous because I don't want the color toner darker. I just want to neutralize the Orange.

I don't think that toner would work that much. From the photos the highlights look more orange/caramel in which case you'll need to skip the blue-violet and get one that's just blue.
My cousin had a similar color an used 8A I believe

If it made your color darker, you left it on too long. It'll fade within a couple of washes

I also have ALOT of red too. I don't mind the red too much though it's the Orange that's bothering me. I will go to sallys and exchange it for a blue based toner. Is 8A a color or toner?

It's actually a color but she used a 20 developer. Another option if you want a toner is T-10 it's meant to turn the hair silver which needs a lot more blue so it would work better for orange tones.
It's kind of confusing since the "ash" colors in color harm are usually violet or blue violet depending on the depth of color.

I personally had to go through the Orange stage of bleaching and I just used a mixture of blue temporary color and diluted it with conditioner and pretty much used it like a purple shampoo except it was blue and a conditioner lol
