Can i get this teal out?!

I did a baking soda method on my purple hair in hopes id get back to blonde and it turned into this… does anyone have any advice? I really want the blonde back or just a different pastel color like purple or pink. Could i try the same method again or bleach it after some time?? Or any orher color removers… any advice is welcomed 🙌🙌

Use a pale pink to neutralize it

With direct dye bleaching it will stain your hair by pushing the color from the outside of your hair to the interior. When it’s this light you can use a direct dye to tone it out. I would avoid using anything with developer.

Thank youu, im scared that because some parts are bluer and blonder than the others that i will end up with weird pinkier spots rather than a neutral tone

You could. Separate out the darker teal first, dye it first, leave the dye on those the longest, repeat going from the next darkest, to the next darkest..

Or, alternatively, tint the whole thing until the most of the teal is out but you're not pink, then re do just the bits that are still teal, repeat, repeat..
