Hey there! So I bleached my hair about a month ago - and I'm still trying to get the brassiness out of it - I've used an ash blonde on top of the bleach as well as bought purple shampoo and conditioner (I've only used it about 3 or 4 times) Just wondering how I can 1) get rid of the brassiness even more and 2) my hair is pretty much multi colored now - yellowy, orangey and blonde - So I was wondering how I can get my hair to be the same colour without having to go spend a lot of money.

Hair toner. You can get shampoos at Sally's that can help also.

Mix equal parts bleach powder (try the neutral instead of the blue- seriously works better) with developer and touch up the areas that need extra bleaching.
Just use common sense here- do the really orange-y spots first then cover the yellow spots, leave on until you see the color has been taken out and then rinse. My hair is usually too fragile to use shampoo so I just rinse with water really well and then apply a protein hair mask after I tone.
Mix your toner with your developer (I like Wella in Ivory Lady- you can use White Lady but be careful or you might end up with gray-ish tint, not cute). Make sure it's TONER though, don't just throw box color or more bleach over your hair, that's not going to take the brassiness out.
I'll include a pic of the toner so you know what to look for at the beauty supply store.. not the drugstore, they don't carry toners usually. You should be able to get the results you want this way. And if your hair is still brassy you can tone it again. It's still a process on your hair though, so just watch how damaged it's looking. Don't ever leave anything on long, you can always touch it up again in a week, but if you give yourself a chemical haircut (totally possible).. well there's no fixing that. Don't be scared though- you can do it!

Hi Michelle
the problem with brassyness is that it means that you need to lift the colour further. You cannot really tone yellow, it needs to be lifted out more to a milky shade. I know this through trial and error on my own hair, and am a hairstylist and brassiness is the biggest complaint colourists get (im not a colourist, im a stylist).
Bleaching hair, the hair go's through different lifting levels depending on your natural base colour if there is orange spots it hasnt been lifted.
a really good blog on colour is killer strands have a read she is passionate about colour and there are loads of posts on brassyness. xx
