Well, not just yet. My friend and I went and had our hair bleached at the salon. Mine feels like crap, and I'm wondering is I can use my kpak right after dying because I can't live with my hair like this for long. I need to work on getting it's conditioner back. It feels like straw.

Anyway, here's what I have to far, step-wise:
After bleach:

After toning shampoo:

After toner:

It went silvery/lilacy all around the front and bottom
, lengths went white.

Didn't come out well at all :(. Very patchy, it took 6 pots to do my whole head and the results are crap. Really sad... Steps I took can be seen above. Didn't condition until just now. Put some violet in my conditioner and sititng here wit ha towel on my head yet again, hoping it's helped a little at least...

Directions, lilac. I wish I'd left it white. Can't stop crying.

oh no! Sorry to hear it didn't turn out the way you wanted but lilac fades quickly/acts as a toner? so your hair should go back to the white colour.
You said you put some violet mixed with conditioner on? did that help at all? 
If your hair was pretty damaged from the bleaching then this could have caused the patchiness. Maybe you need to try and get your hair in better condition for the colour to take more evenly (I'm only going off what I've read on here as I haven't dyed my hair yet! I'm sure someone with more experience will be able to help)

Don't cry! It won't take long to get you back to the white if that's what you'd like to do now... I'd bet a couple good washes will do it- in fact it may only take one.

Ah πŸ™ That's how I felt when I re-dyed my Lilac and it came out a horrible dark colour. Wash your hair with the strongest shampoo you have - something like Head and Shoulders - and leave it on under a shower cap for as long as you can stand. That should lighten it dramatically! I don't know if you happen to have any Silver, but putting that on for 5-10 mins over lilac usually turns it a lovely grey-purple colour with looks just a little lighter than what I would consider 'lilac'

I'm hoping it will fade out to be a bit more even, some spots are straight up white. I've just scrounged what I could of my lilac tubs, diluted them with toner and a bit of conditioner and applied that to the white bits to make them a bit less obvious.


You can see how my bangs/fringe have varying shades and then the other side is practically royal blue. Sorry for the cry-y eyes.

I can't see any places where the color looks bad! I love what I see in this photo!

This is how I wore it to work after washing it out considerably, tried to fix up the bad patches tonight. It's not as noticeable when it's up. I'll try to get a good picture of it down tomorrow.
