How do I remove the yellow from chemically straightened grey hair?

My hair is about 75% grey and the white is naturally silver with a blue cast, which is nice. But I chemically straightened my hair, which turned out well, but now all the white in my hair has a yellow/green cast. Is there any way to actually REMOVE this discoloration and get my natural color back??

How do I color my hair silver?

I bleached my hair blonde, as it was previously a light brown. It is currently extremely light blonde. I went to Sally’s Hair Supply and the sales woman told me that I should use a toner, to turn the blonde into silver. I bought Clairol’s EXTRA-LIGHT PLATINUM BASE BLUE VIOLET cream toner and mixed it with a 20 Volume Developer. The directions say to leave it on for no more than 15 minutes, so that is exactly how long I kept it on for. I was getting really excited when I looked in the mirror at the 15 minute point, to see the silver cast it appeared to have. However, when I rinsed it out, my hair was NOT silver at all. It looked exactly the same, a light blonde. Any suggestions? How long should I wait before I try again? I’m thinking I should keep the Toner on longer but how long it too long?

Thanks for your help,
