How to prevent re oxidation after colour B4?

I've managed to remove an unwanted brown colour using Colour B4 extra strength on Saturday and then regular strength colour b4 today. My hair is now a mixture of blondes with a few very light brown bits but as my hair is curly I think I can get away with it to let my hair recover.
After the first treatment I'd noticed my hair darkening and I don't want it to happen this time, I have some left over buffer, has anyone used it for a few shampoos after colour B4 to prevent re oxidising? Or what shampoo is good for this purpose?
I have some 'touch of silver' but I used it after my first treatment and it turned my hair a greenish muddy colour so I'm scared to use it again. Previous to using the brown dye I was almost platinium blonde via loreal platinium. So what do I do to prevent my hair darkening by re oxidising, and when is it safe to bleach it back to the pale blonde I was before I made this huge mistake!!

You can lower the risk of re-oxidation by making sure you rinse your hair for a long time to get most of the color molecules out. I have used the buffer as shampoo after, just bare in mind that it dries the hair so really condition after using it.
You need to wait at least a week to use any peroxide products but since you had some re-oxidisation last time, i would suggest waiting 10-15 days at least and make sure you wash your hair a few times during this waiting period.
