Bleach tone or dye?

Hi
I bleached my previously brown dyed hair two weeks ago which went dark orange. I ended up toning it with Scott cornwall and it was better. Then two days ago I bleached it again and it went bright yellow . Thought it's ok I will tone it and leave it again for a few weeks. Toner did nothing!!

Ended up dying it light ash blonde just so I could leave the house for work!!!

Now really unsure what to do as it is still quite orangey/yellow.

Not planning on doing anything straight away but should my next step be bleach again or use a toner? If so which one?
I am currently using purple shampoo - now used three times  (think it's lee stafford) but not doing anything as yet.
Have included a picture of my hair and what I would like to get it too.
Thanks in advance x

I swear by this dye now: Nirvel ArtX Nutre Color Grey.  It brings any brassy orange/yellow tones right down to an amazing ashy blonde.  I love it!  Basically, it's a very concentrated and neutral purple dye, which I mix with white conditioner to make a toner.  I neutralised it with another dye the first time I used it, but it really doesn't need any other colour added to it to be effective.

I've experimented with several purple dyes to make anti-brassy toners, and that one is one of the best because it's the most neutral.  However, Pravana Silver did a really great job as well, but I neutralised it just a bit with a natural blonde dye.

But if you're having trouble getting a hold of these, try Touch of Silver, which is mentioned on this thread (the shampoo is the best and most concentrated), and just leave it in for a good, long time, and you should see a lot of the brassiness go away.

Of course, all my suggestions above are semi-permanent dyes, which means you don't mix it with anything (like peroxide!) that will destroy your hair over time.  Good luck!

P.S.  I can't see the picture of what your hair is now...  ::)

P.S. (again)  Now I can see it πŸ˜‰

You've triple processed your hair in a very, very short space of time.  You should never use a bleach or a permanent dye less than one month apart.

I would use the dyes that Alexia has suggested, and leave it for a minimum of 4-6 weeks.  Get some Joico K-Pak Reconstructor, because your hair is likely to be very weak in its current state (even if you don't see it yet ... it can take up to a month for damage to show).
