Gingery inbetween stage advice needed.

Hey lovelies.My hair is usually pretty good at taking bleach without too much damage or going patchy, but this time round it's got a lovely great big streak of black that I can't seem to get out. I was box dye black for ages, removed as much of it as possible with B4 and bleach baths and went a really lovely deep red with Directions Pillarbox, and I could live with the black bit because it wasn't really that noticeable with the red because I did my ends lighter so it looked sort of like an intentional ombre. I adored this red, but it faded pretty quickly despite looking after it well. :( (Sorry for the mega posey photo, I'd just come out of the hairdressers and felt sassy. hahaha)So over the course of a few months I've been intentionally fading it, lots of Head and Shoulders and Lush's I Love Juicy, which took out a LOT and I've also done two bleachings in that time (used coconut oil first which helped so much- miracle!) and now I'm left with a very bright ginger with yellow blonde ends, but the black bit is still there. :( We even concentrated the bleach on it last time and wrapped it separately, I guess I'm just destined to have it until it grows out?Basically my questions are: would using a colour remover help at all at this stage? I mean I must still have some colour left in there, or would it not be worth it for the drying damage?Also, I have several pots of Directions Violet and Neon Blue which I would love to use, but would I have to go really blonde in order to use them? I'd rather not bleach again. Would they go sludgey, or just dark? I don't mind dark, just not sludge. I also have Tulip lying around, but I was hoping to go more purple than pink this time. :)Thank you <3

Thanks lovelies. In the electric light of my office everyone says it looks really blue and then in the natural light it's proper purple. I'm chuffed I managed to do it!

I am covered in lovely bruise-like dye marks though. Jeez I'd forgotten what dying long hair is like.
