BLEACHED MY HAIR?! need to even it out! ah PLEASE HELP!?!(:?

So i bleached part of my hair ( i ran out of bleach) from medium-dark reddish brown to a honey blonde. I only got through the bottom part. so i had top dark brown, bottom bright yellow blonde. I decided to take a honey-blonde hair dye and just dye my whole head, HOPING it would turn it all honey blonde.... but unfortunatly, it didnt.. now some of my hair is dark brown, some honey blonde, some yellow blonde, some orange,some reddish, some bleachedd alsmot white.. so what should i do? can i take a bleaching kit and just bleach the sh*t out of the rest of the dark parts to match the honey color? i have purple toner, which i used but it only kind of worked. the bleach really didnt hurt my hair much at all, i used several conditoners to get my hair back in shape and its in very good condition, it doesnt even show any type of damage from the bleach.I know i should go to a salon, but i realllyy dont want to. Should i just take a box dye and just dye it all brown again and get it proffesionally done in a few months? please help!(: thanks!

p.s. to bleach my hiar i used a 30 developer (i still have some left!) and powder lightener.

    Get a hair color remover and take all of the color out. (or "bleach" all out to NO color and start from there). IF you try to just "color" it again it will only be worse and remain three toned (but more red in the dark). If you can, let it "rest" for a week and condition the hell out of it along with a couple of hot oil treatments. (Always remember that you cannot lighten dark hair with a lighter OTC hair color!! Hair must be processed -bleached or lightened-and then colored lighter.

    Then recolor but MAKE SURE its the color you want. Do a strand test with your chosen color by snipping a bit of your hair from the TOP of your head in the back (won't show if your hair is up or down) and color it with a bit of the mixture (the mix will be ok for an hour or so as long as it is not in closed container). If its what you want after 20 to 25 minuets- do it and make sure you get/use a toner to keep the red down.

    Instead of bleaching your hair use this product called Color Oops. It will take all the color out and you can redye your hair on the same day because this product does not damage your hair. Ive used this product before and work very well. U can find it at any pharmacy or Ulta and online

    I say you just dye it dark again. Bleaching hair is always super tricky.

    Oh my gosh. Do not bleach anymore of your hair. You may think it didn't affect your hair, but it most certainly did. Dye it back to brown and get it professionally done.
