Toning my hair?

Okay so I've been dying my hair dark brown for almost 6 years, I recently wanted to go back blonde. I've bleached my hair twice and was left with very light blonde roots but quite yellow hair everywhere else, I have now dyed my hair with a light ash blonde (the colour I want it) and my roots are the perfect colour but there is still quite a lot of yellow in my hair despite it looking much better, where do I go from here toning wise?
Should I use a toner? Will purple shampoo help in any way? Will another dye improve it?
Thank you for any help you can give me.

Did you use a colour remover to get the brown out before you bleached?

Yes I used two colour b4 treatments months before bleaching.

If it were me i would be tempted to try another colour remover on that dark band near your ears.
Otherwise it is going to look even more uneven after toning. You need something with blue/purple tones there, but those golden areas are still going to be a much darker shade than the top of your head. You can either do colour remover and spot bleach the dark parts, or add some warmer tones to the lighter parts to even it out that way.

Okay thank you, i wasn't sure that a colour remover would work over bleach, but I'll try it.

Often they work better after bleach, because the cuticle has already been opened. I think it is worth a shot, getting an even base now will make everything more simple in the future.
