butt ugly blonde hair..what should I do?

well I'm at a loss. this is the second time i've tried going blonde and each time I end up with disaster and ugly-ness. I guess I just need some advice on what color I should do instead or if there is any way that I could make my hair look nice again.

I can't bleach it any more either..my hair started to break off really bad on the ends after this last bleach session so that's out of the question also.

so what should I do?

don't tell me to go to a salon. I'm a college student working just 20 hours a week. trust me, i don't have the money to spend on a salon visit. and besides, i've had pros damage my hair and give me the ugliest colors before so i don't really trust them

here's a picture of my hair..

I like my hair LIGHT, but i just HATE the yellow and I can't seem to get past the yellow to a lighter blonde..and toning doesn't work even if I use a violet/purple/blue based toner..it makes my hair either grey or green, but if I leave it on for less, it's too yellow. there isn't a happy medium for some reason.

well..any suggestions including extremes like "dye it black or red" are welcome..anything that you feel will look better..

Update:

surprisingly so, i actually have light ash brown hair..like..very light..to the point where during the summer my hair would go dirty blonde naturally from the sun..it just pulls a yellow gold no matter how hard i try to bleach it and the yellow gold stage is very hard to pass on my hair for whatever reason.. :-/

thanks for the suggestions you guys

anyone else?

    From the looks of how it turned out, your hair is naturally too dark to successfully hit a light blonde shade, and trying will only damage it more. I tried the same thing once, with the same result. You could possibly pull off strawberry blonde, as it isn't near as pale, and the yellow-y orange hue will work with it. But to be honest, you would have to lighten every time you wanted to recolor, and that would be really harsh on your hair.

    With your complexion, you would make a fabulous redhead, like bright copper red. And an added bonus is, you look kinda like Felicia Day. http://www.sliceofscifi.com/wp-content/uploads/200...
