Recently had my hair highlighted and it’s got a lot of orange in after having previous copper on my hair. Is there anything I can do to hide the orange without bleaching it again.Would like to keep it brighter but might have to go to a darker blonde.

Have you tried blue or purple shampoo? I found provoke purple shampoo really effective at helping my hair after it had an orange/brassy hue. I sat with it on for half an hour each day for 3 days and then just use it every few washes. I also use purple conditioner. The warmth did leave my hair and I’m happy with maintaining my highlights over my dark blond base. I find the shampoo a bit harsh so I use a gentle one afterwards and then condition well.
