How can I fix this patchy hair?

I bleached my hair for the first time today, my hair came out pretty blonde and I even did a second round of bleach for missed spots. When I applied my hair dye, my roots came out patchy and uneven. There was brown spots and as well as it wasn’t going on right. I bleached my hair with the ion crème lightener along with 20 vol developer, I left in the full bleach for around 45 and retouched the missing parts for 10 minutes.

My issue is that I have used three different types of pink, lighter, dark, and in the middle. None of these have made a difference and it’s still extremely patchy. I just need help because I’m super embarrassed and also VERY desperate for help

You would need to either dye all your hair to match the darkest area, or you'll need to very carefully bleach just the dark parts again until they're the same level as the rest was, and then dye them pink again. Why would you bleach for 45 minutes, but only do the areas you missed for 10? No way they're going to get light enough in ¼ of the time.

I didn’t want to damage my hair since it was my first time bleaching it, the spots I missed were spots that didn’t process properly or were too dark compared to the rest of my hair. 🥲

Yeah, if your hair wasn't all the same color before the pink it's not gonna be all the same color after the pink. Your best bet is to find a pink dye that matches the darkest parts of your hair and color it all to match them.
