Could I make my hair blonde by dying over the orange? without bleach?
my hair was a medium brown naturally and I decided I wanted to go blonde. however, when I dyed it, of course it turned to a terrible orangy and brassy color. I really don't want to bleach it but I still want to go blonde .. I tried using toners but they just don't get rid of all the orangeness. Now, if I were to use the same dye I used before and re dye it over this orange mess, would it work to turn it blonde? Or at least a pale yellow? I don't know if this makes sense but as long as I use the same hair dye and keep re dying it over, wouldn't I eventually achieve the blonde I want? Thanks.

No way. You have to bleach it white and then dye it blond. The dye removes your pigment and replaces it. It can't remove all of your pigment in your hair and replace it at the same time with a lighter color. Your pigment ends up settling back into the hair shaft a bit. If you keep doing this, you'll just end up with lighter orange hair. No other way than to strip it with bleach until white and then dye it blond. Go to a hair coloring specialist. It's hard to do at home and get the roots, middle and end all the same shade of blond. Roots are new and take differently than ends and middle of hair. Ends soak up the most dye. Roots the least.
