I could use an opinion

I bleached my hair from virgin dark brown with 30 vl andand bleach then Toned it with a natural blond (Wella) to take down the orange and yellow. I am using a good purple base shampoo and condition and I know my hair is blond but it doesn’t look good against my skin. I’m not sure what’s off about it. Is it still to yellow? I’m looking for honest opinions. I realize I need to do my roots

I don't think it looks particularly bad against your skin and the color is pretty, but you could try more purple shampoo to cool it down a bit - I think that would look more natural. If the purple shampoo doesn't take as well as you'd like, try leaving it in for longer! 🙂

I was actually thinking of toning with a high lift ash or running another batch of bleach thought it with 20vl

Don’t use full bleach or a high lift tint. If you want it lighter do a bleach bath because it really can't take much more than a level or two of lift before it's too far.

Just make sure to avoid your roots. Then tone with the shampoo. If it’s not toned enough, do it again and leave it a bit longer. It’s a LOT less damaging in the long run.
