Hi,
I did a google search and this site came up so I thought it would be a good place to ask my question.
My hair is naturally dark blonde, and I have highlights - not bleach, but I decided that a) I want all over blonde colour now, (similar to AJ Cook in Criminal Minds) and b) I want to minimise costs and time and try to do it at home instead of going to the salon.
I picked a light ash blonde, and the effects aren't disastrous, but my lightest highlights look a bit silver, and the roots, where I had no colour before, is very golden to the point where it's a TINY bit orange. The overall colour seems a bit darker than it was before.
I only used one bottle just to do the roots and a bit of the body, as an experiment. I plan on doing it again in a couple of weeks, going the whole way (I have extremely thick hair so need two bottles).
My question is, should I go for an ash blonde again, or a non-ash blonde? I don't want to end up with orange hair. On the other hand, I don't want silver either. :/
I should probably mention that my hair, while blonde, does have a lot of golden tones in it naturally.
Any advice would be very, very appreciated.
