My natural color is light brown with red-blonde highlights. I had golden blonde highlights added 6 weeks ago in a salon, so I do have some roots. I would like to try coloring my hair at home -- either white-blonde or strawberry blonde. I have green eyes and fair skin with freckles and pink undertones. Since my skin has pink undertones, I am afraid of getting too much yellow in my hair, but I do not want a color that will wash me out either. What would be the best color, brand, and type of product to use to change my light brown, highlighted hair to a natural looking white-blond or strawberry blonde? Also, how do I lighten my eyebrows a little to match the new color?

Id suggest having it done by somone who knows what they are doing, then perhaps u can touch the roots after, it would be worth the money . As for your eyebrow they should never be as light as your hair, they are a frame for your eyes and, to have them as light looks "odd" Even true blondes pencil in their eyebrows.

My advice....go to a good salon. It sounds like you need someone else in charge of your hair. Trust me. I used to do my own hair but after a hair tragedy I intrusted a proffesional.
