are you trying to lighten natural hair or colored hair? You were probably on the right track with the orange, it may have just needed to be toned.

hmm... If your natural hair color is very dark, you'll probably have to bleach it to get it blonde and then tone it? And that's not good for your hair. I don't know, maybe you should search some videos or tips from youtube etc? :)

i just recently did this i had dark brown hair and went platinum blonde. You do have to bleach it, i had to bleach it twice. yes it is pretty harsh on ur hair but if you want blonde you gotta do it, i deep conditioned alot to get it nice and healthy before i bleached it the first time, it was still yellowish so i toned it once conditioned it a week then bleached it again and toned and finally achieved my color! if your hair turns yellow or brassy orange you want to use a violet/blue toner. i used redkin platunim ice, titanium, and irish creme toners, you may have to get this done by a professional hairstylist if u arent one. hope this helpss!

I tried many times... & even experienced the glow in the dark pumpkin color & the shocking Platinum. My 'real' hair color is a medium brown.. ended up going to a salon .. and now i get high lights & low lights.. didn't seem to be able to get it right on my own. Curious to see if there is a way... Good Luck!
