I want it like this. (high lighted and lowlights like this.)
Should I bleach it again? Or bleach bath it? Would toning it make a difference?
please help ;^;

Try a purple or silver shampoo. I've heard good things about Clairol Shimmer Lights purple shampoo.

Sally Beauty Supply has a cheaper, generic kind of Clairol's.

I found this on the internet I looked it up so hope this helps your problem 😊
Every head of hair contains underlying natural warmth which, not obvious to the naked eye, becomes apparent when lightening the hair. In your case there is probably a lot of gold as well as orange pigments. This can be neutralised by using colours that contain blue pigment.

Best advice would be to lay off any hilighting for a while and stick to a semi-permanent. These colours are not only kinder to your hair but can also be quite cost effective.

Ideally you need to find a good reputable salon in your area and have a consultation with a specialist in colouring who will be able to advise and recommend what's best for your hair.

Hope that helps

I'm on this journey with you! when I was at the orange/yellow stage, I added some little highlights then bought a silver toner and purple shampoo, I did that for about 2 months then used a light ash blonde box dye, this is where I'm at 4 months later.

Did you use boxed dye? it naturally makes your hair have a red/orange look. also aishling is right.

How long did you leave the toner in? T18 happens to be my favorite. Before you reach for more bleach and risk damaging your hair further, try to tone it again with the same toner. You can leave it on for up to 30 minutes. Then rinse with a purple shampoo like Hannah suggested. Clairol shimmer lights is my favorite :)
