I'm scared to do the bleach again myself😁but there is a Paul Mitchell school in my area, can I go to them and tell them to bleach all then to apply the Paul Mitchell stuff you mentioned? Will they do exactly what I ask or am I at their mercy?

Thanks for the photos! Ok your hair will have to be lightened again 😔 you will need to get it as light as possible (pale yellow) to
be able to tone it to a silver. Your hair has light pieces but I can see some orange tones in there too. If you are set on achieving silver then I suggest using a blue based lightener w/ a 30 volume developer on the ends & use 10 vol. developer on roots. Use a processing cap to active natural heat from your own head, this should speed up & help develop the blonde. If you can get your hands on Paul Mitchell the color then make sure to get utp platinum toner & blue color shots. Be careful where you get pm colors because they can be sold old & out of date or as fakes. I'm a licensed colorist & get mine from a licensed supply store. If you can get the utp after lightening hair, mix the utp with zero lift developer. If your hair is pale blonde all over then go ahead & mix in a tiny drop of blue color shot to the utp & apply to hair. Let sit & keep an eye on it, you can literally watch it turn gray then wash it out when you get the desired look. If your hair still isn't pale blonde after the lightener (bleach) then apply the utp without the color shot & let sit 5-20min. depending on how fast your hair tones, just keep an eye on it & wash when desired look is achieved.

Sorry if I made this complicated lol 😳ok bottom line you need to make sure your hair is pale yellow for the utp to give you the white/silver, if your hair ends up turning more on the yellow side after bleaching the utp will tone it to platinum/possibly white depending on your hair. Make sure your hair is pale yellow before attempting the silver 👍😃
