On my monitor it looks like her blonde hair is white with a greenish ashy cast. In my opinion (and on my monitor) it makes her face look a little red, but anyway I'd do a high lift blonde with a green base to achieve it.

Hi Amy. I like her hair too. I think that colour would look great on you.

Okay, this is just a guess. Depending on our monitors we may be seeing completely different colours in her hair. I see just a touch of goldish beige in her colour. It's definitely not a white blonde. It looks very pale in contrast to the brown, but it's really not very light.

I think you could probably achieve that colour by bleaching to pale yellow and toning with a violet based toner like Clairol Creme 303D Champagne Beige. The violet should cut down on any brassiness and let a tiny bit of gold come through.

That's my best guess. I could be totally off-base. You could try doing some test strands. Bleach the strand to pale yellow and then try a couple of different toners.

You might even be able to get away with just bleaching to yellow and using a violet-based platinum toner like Clairol Creme 302 Platinum Beige. That would be less damaging and would give you similar results.

I absolutely love Ashley's Blonde shade in this picture! Its exactly what I want my hair to look like. What color do you think is in this blonde? Is it blue, green, or purple?

And what is the name of this kind of blonde shade? Is it white blonde or what?
