I want my hair lighter/blonder, it's orange-y now (i have pictures)?

okay so i didn't actually bleach my whole head, i did a "strand test" (which is my actual hair from my head) and i left it in the bleach for 80 minutes. this is the color it turned out to be:

see how it's like strawberry blonde/orange? well i want my hair to be this shade (and the box's hair chart thing said it was capible of doing this shade even for dark hair):

so, what do i need to do, leave the bleach in longer? but 80 minutes is a long time and i don't want to fry my hair and totally ruin it by keeping it in for too long.

here's my hair color now:

i know that's a bad pic, i don't care. and please don't tell me not to do anything with my hair, i know it's "unique" or whatever but i want to dye it.

so, any advice? thanks a lot! :)

Don't use the box bleach. You have a lot of red undertones in your hair so there's going to be a good chance of it turning strawberry blonde if you do it yourself. Your best option would be to get it professionally done, but if that's not an option for you I'd read this:

It explains virtually everything you need to know about bleaching and how to get to your desired color.
