I'm at a loss for what to do rn and desperately need help and advice..
TL;DR: I've tried everything to get the last purple/pink out of my hair and nothing is working.. 4 rounds of color removal, 3 rounds vinegar, 2 rounds of c vitamin, 1 round baking soda and 3 rounds of bleach washing and my hair is still very Pink.
Back in October I Dyed my hair from pastel purple to black, using arctic fox transylvania. It faded to back to pastel purple and I decided I wanted to go mint green!
I started off with colourless hair colour remover, I did it 4 times, and my hair still had a ton of purple in it. So I try the DIY methods; I did the vinegar, dandruff shampoo with baking soda and c vitamin methods to no avail. After many failed attempts I decided to do the bleach washing method, which ofc worked better than the other methods, but still not enough. I've done that 3 timesf now, and my hair is blonde in most areas, but some areas are just super pink. I low key want to cry* How come this SEMI PERMANENT** color won't leave my hair? I swear, it was easier to get henna color out..
Obviously, I can't dye a pastel green over pink, as it would just turn grey or brownish..
Any tips? Advice? How can I get these BLEACH resistent pink tones out of my hair so I can go pastel/mint green? All replies appreciated, I've never in my 11 years of experimenting with hair colours had this issue..

Have you tried a stronger bleach mix over the pink sections only? I'd definitely try a strand test first. It's surprisingly that it's staying pink as purple has a tendency to go green when bleached. Of course if it doesn't work, I think you'll just need to leave your hair along for a bit, since I'm guessing the pink is just too deep in your hair for bleach to touch it at the moment. You can probably do a mix of mint green and lavender by doing green over the blonde and a turquoise over the pink bits which should pull purple.

I haven't yet, I'm considering it as a last resort tho. I guess since it's a direct color it doesn't oxidize to become green, it would be great if it had turned green tho ?
My current plan is to do a strand test with green to see the result on pink, if it turns grey that's OK, if it turns into something horrible I'll probably dye it blue and gradually work towards green by going around the color wheel.
I could also maybe have purple and green hair, but that's not really what I want, so I probably won't do that
