I am currently using the shade, 9-5 Cashmere, which is a level 9 blonde shade with a gold color direction.  I chose this particular shade because my hair color is very gold. 

I buy mine here: http://www.evabeauty.com/products/schwarzkopf/  Yes, it is expensive, but I only use it once or twice a month, usually two weeks after I color my roots and then again at 4 weeks after I touch up my roots.  It works very well at toning and making my hair lighter and brighter.  However, I have noticed that the product doesn't give my hair enough conditioning when I use it.  So I usually apply my conditioner after rinsing the product out to make sure my hair gets enough conditioning. 

Kelly, I've not seen a 9-0 on any sites (neutral light blonde)  You might try the Cashmere (which is gold) or the Champaigne (which is a beige tone) which might work with your color.   

Hope this helps!   

Thanks Rebekah,

Your color does look pretty, so Tone on tone-Next time I go to the salon I'll ask for that (which is soon)!

Igora Toning mousse-where do you get this?

Hello,

I've been getting my hair highlighted for some time.

I use to dye my hair and just go in and get the roots touched up. Well I'm wondering if thats what I need to do again instead of the highlights.  The problem is that the highlights never seem to last-before I know it my roots are showing-and my natural hair color is not pretty, infact its a really dull dirty blond. Plus, I do have a few grey hair's (isn't 26 young to be getting grey hair?) 

I read that your highlights should last about 3-4months? I got my hair highlighted in Nov., and already it looks terrible.  Does anyone else have this problem or use to?  If I just got my hair dyed and went in to get the roots touched up-would this last longer-and be better on my hair?
