Help with my brassy roots!

I usually always go get highlights but I decided to just bleach all my roots myself cause it was to expensive to go every 6 weeks. I've used wella t18 toner and it brought the brightness sown.
Now I don't know if toner will work again since it didn't do much the first time I've been using purple shampoo as well. Any suggestions to what I should do? Maybe use a blonde hair dye to blend it all together? Thanks xo

I think you should get a blonde hair die similar to your color and just die your roots same thing happens to me and the toner dint do much help.

I would do elaine c. said that could cause your hair to turn green, you should either rebleach them in two weeks, try john frieda shampoo the purple one helps with brassness or get a toner the toner worked for

Actually with the toner I think you have to do it twice

You don't have to do the toner twice if she did it once it obviously don't work right? yes ,

I have problems with this and I put white vinegar on them, let it sit for a few minutes then washed with purple shampoo and it seemed to lessen the brassiness. I also use a purple shampoo every time I wash my hair

I don't know what kind of toner you're using, but Wella is epic. Also invest in a good purple shampoo like Shimmer Lights.

get a semi-permanent hair color in a shade lighter then you are going for with either a neutral base or an ash base. make sure its one level lighter tho since you are applying a color over another color, it will make it darker so one level lighter will work perfectly. also semi or demi shades are used with 10 volume peroxide so you wont damage your hair anymore. here is a great video explaining this if you want more info. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UOCB7kRCOU
