please, im begging for help! i bleached my hair and it turned into an ugly yellow blonde which looks terrible on me! i was going for a platinum shade of blonde but i dont think i left it in long enough. and i cant bleach it again because apparently, i was alergic to the bleach or something and now my throat is really sore and my nose is stuffy, it happened when i was leaving the dye in. NOW i HAve NO IDEA what to do. my mom thinks i should put a light brown/medium brown shade of temporary dye but i dont know if it'll just mix in and become worse. i really really cant afford to go to a proffesional so please please PLEASE help me!!! PLEASEEE!!!!

If you still want it blonde you can put a lighter ash blonde on, this will take the yellow and if you have any orangy parts away. Remember to pic a color at least 2 shades lighter than you want/think you need. This because bleached hair is so pourous and takes in everything you put on it. If you put a medium brown on bleached hair it will look like dark brown or even slightly black.

Yellow is something you go through on the way to platinum.  You can still get there.  You don't usually get a nice color after you bleach, you have to dye it afterward to a natural shade.  As for your throat and nose, this sounds more like a chemical burn than an allergy.  Were you in a well ventilated area?  You may have just breathed too much of it.  Just in case you are allergic though, do a test on the inside of your elbow before you use any other dye or bleach (better safe than sorry).
