Bleached hair, posting for traffic

Didn't know where to put this so feel free to move it MN if there is a hair section that I couldn't find lol but posting for traffic.

I previously had a dark brown root smudge leading into blonde hair at the bottom, my hair is not long, collar bone length. This colour was done at the hairdressers but was costing me £60 for this plus a trim every 3 months and I just can't afford it anymore.

Quite liked the blonde at the bottom and decided for the summer I'd like to go full head blonde so I bought a blonde hair dye thinking since most of the hair was that colour anyway it'd be OK... it was not OK, it went a weird pale brown all over, not even a nice shade of brown at all. So I decided to buy a pre-lightner (basically bleach I think it was), I put this on today and the roots are now ginger and the rest is a lovely shade of blonde. My question is will a normal blonde hair dye fix the root colour or am I going to have to bleach it again (after leaving it for a while first of course)?

Thank you!

Well it's been 6 days since I used the last dye on my hair, my wella toner has arrived in the post but I'm going to wait another week before using it.

I purchased t27 as I read its good for neutralising yellow/orange or brassiness but its more of a beige blonde than platinum which after a week with this colour I think I'd prefer.

My hair has gone ever so slightly dry (my usual hair type is fine and greasy) so I've used aussie 3 minute conditioner treatment on it twice this week and stayed away from coloured shampoos. Anyone tried t27 on platinum coloured hair here?

I really think if I was you I'd leave it alone for a good long while now, OP. It looks great the way you've got it, and if it's feeling drier then I'd be steering clear of anything that might further strip the moisture out (or might go an unpredictable colour). I use coconut oil as a treatment on mine, I've always used to bleach my hair through it when I used to mine at home myself. It made such a huge difference to the level of damage the bleach would do - it was so much less with coconut oil. I think people have good results with other oil types too. Just a thought, not a pro, I think you've had some great advice from the hairdressers on here.

Zelda, unless it’s encouraging posts she doesn’t care about the overprocessing. Conditioner, especially heavily silicone based like 3 min miracle, is just scaffolding the damage - it will break and give up in a few weeks.

But it’s like banging your head against a brick wall with this one Hmm

guest8989 firstly I don't know what you're talking about because not once have I said I don't care about overprocessing or else I wouldn't have taken a break between the two bleaches and I wouldn't be taking a few weeks break right now from ANY processing so you're comment has come out of nowhere.

Secondly I feel you're just pissed off because I responded to you when you gave advice that wasnt an answer to original post. And if I had of followed your advice anyway of going to a professional they would just process it even further by doing more to it which would negate your comment about me not caring about overprocessing so which is it?
