Answer 1

I am a licensed cosmetologist and I strongly recommend seeing a professional hairstylist to achieve the results you want. There are a lot of variables against you when you try to do this yourself at home. When you visit the stylist, bring pictures of what color you would like your hair to be. Sometimes going completely blonde all at once is shocking so you may also consider getting heavily highlighted over the course of several visits which will result in a more natural blonde. Also, it is very important to invest in a professional shampoo and conditioner to maintain the health of your hair during this process. Lightening hair can cause a lot of damage to the hair shaft and cuticle (the protective outer layer of the hair) if not done properly and cared for in between sessions. The orange-y result you got is because there are underlying pigments that hairstylists counteract when formulating color at the salon. That's why salon results are accurate; because the product mixed is specific to your hair type and condition. That's a lot of info but I hope it helps!
