So as some of yall know I recently ombre my hair , its more like a honey color , I'm using shimmer lights purple shampoo but I'm not seeing any changes, should I leave it in longer? or Use a blonde dye on the parts already bleached?

I notice that my highlights are turning more of your color when I use the purple shampoo. so I suggest you stop using the purple shampoo and you might have to rebleach it to get a lighter blonde.

1: a purple toned shampoo is meant to deposit color onto your hair to off set the yellowing and brassy color of your hair. Don't stop using it. On a color wheel, purple is the opposite of yellow... That's why depositing a small amount or purple takes out those colors...
If you're seeing your hair getting darker, you're leaving it on too long. It should be getting lighter-ish. Mainly, just not brassy, or orangey.
Also, try a different brand. The brand you're using might not be meant for your hair type.
I recommend Matrix, or CatWalk. As for the blonde, I would lighten a little. But I would not use a high level developer. I'm no cosmetologist, but I do work at Beauty Brands and know a lot about products.

I use the one and only purple shampoo but not often.

What color was your hair before bleaching it and was it dyed or virgin?

Honestly, purple shampoo isn't going to do much for you while your hair is still more of a honey/ginger blonde apposed to pale yellow blonde, if you get what I'm saying haha. What I would do if you wanted to tone down the brassy colour of your blonde to more of an ash shade is look for a blue toner instead of purple, or even a blue based purple shampoo; I know Avon sells a super good shampoo for blondes and is the only one I was able to call my holy grail because it would remove both orange on more honey colours and yellow from blonde because it was a blue based purple. That's just what I would do if you don't want to lighten anymore, though the purple shampoo you're using now would probably work for you when your hair is on the more inside of a banana colour :)

Ombre hair can be tough to tone with shampoo. For the honey tone, purple shampoo won't do much. You'll need a more blue toned shampoo. I believe l'oreal has a silver shampoo that's more blue. As for the reddish parts you'll need an ash (green) sort of color to tone that
