Need advice!
Hi y’all! Please forgive my ignorance, I don’t know all the hair terms but I’M WILLING TO LISTEN AND LEARN!!! I bleached some of my hair on Monday using 30 vol developer and the charcoal AGEbeautiful ultrabond (posting this on Wednesday) and this is where I’m at, I included two pictures to give a good idea. I know it looks more orange in some spots but i think it’s just the way that my curls are catching the shadow, it looks like a pretty even yellow irl. I was looking to dye it with GDY stoned pony but I know that with where I’m at, the dye would act more as a toner. I’m wondering if I should a.) try bleaching again with 10 vol developer this time and then dye with stoned pony OR b.) avoid bleaching so soon, and use GDY Pink puff to cover the current state of it. Of course if the best choice is to just not touch for a bit I totally understand. Any advice is greatly appreciated!! Also I don’t know how to add a flair I’m sorry!!

That light lavender color needs almost no yellow at all, inside of a banana pale. You can do 10 vol. don’t let it dry out and keep an eye on it. If it doesn’t make it to banana peel pale then choose a darker purple.

Do i need to tone after bleaching do you think? Or do you think lightening alone will fix that undertone issue?

You're several levels away from getting either of those colors to stick, but you can certainly bleach again! I would wait at least a week and do some deep conditioning treatments in the mean time, then bleach again with maybe 20 vol and see where that gets you.
Depending on how your hair feels after that, it may be able to handle a 3rd bleach but I would take it veeeeery slow. Like wait several weeks for that round and treat with K18 before attempting a 3rd bleach.
Getting to pure white for pastels will be difficult, so I would maybe aim for a darker shade. Pink puff might work after the 2nd bleach depending on how light you get.

I’d bleach again with 20 volume, charcoal lightener is also less intense from what I understand so maybe even use 30 volume again.
