Color Frost
I have dark color treated hair, that ive already tried pulling up to a blondish frost,?

I am trying to get to a blondish frosted color, NOT ORANGE UGH. Inside it looks like a nice color but out in the day light it looks a horrible orange. Any suggestions how i can get it to look like that icy, ( not brassy) kind of beige frost i”m looking for?

Use a toner on your hair to get rid of that orange colour, this will also prevent brassy colours from showing up in future.
If you’re still not happy with it, visit a local salon and ask them what they can do for you.
