DIY bleach root touch up fail

Hi all, about a week ago my roots became too much and I finally caved and bleached them myself (bad I know) somehow I’ve managed to lift the roots very much to an almost white colour with the bleach and white toner and the rest of my hair looks very yellow in comparison, any advice on how I can try to blend the two areas together? I’ve bought a bleach London champagne toner and was wondering if I applied to my roots first then dragged down the lengths would this help? Photos attached for reference are the colour of my hair before with my roots and what I managed to create with the bleach Grin any advice much appreciated!

Not a hairdresser but do my own hair as neighbour has a salon and gave me all the info....you should have spread the bleach mixture all over for last few mins to lift it all and remove brassy tones etc...a toner may work...mix with 3 % peroxide wont damage hair...i use the aveda plant based toners on ebay....contain fewer chemicals etc...

another option is to do a gentle bleach bath a week later...just the sections that need the extra lift....use a low volume peroxide and comb thro for 5 mins....
