It’s completely up to you, it just has to be a darker level than the orange you currently have. You can play into the orange and pick a color that has warm or even red undertones. Or, you can cancel that orange with more cool and ashy tones if this will complement your skin tone better. This wasn’t in the plan when you started the process, I know, but it can turn out better than you imagined!

All in all, you have many different options to choose between when you rinse that bleach out and see orange when you weren’t expecting to. Don’t freak out! Whether you choose to cancel that color out with a toner, process again if you can or go darker, it will be okay. After all, you can also just head to the salon for professional color correction and get beautiful hair color along with the guidelines for its maintenance.
