Thanks Karen!  I was looking for a lighter base color more like a light brown... My hair is like a medium brown and very mousy color...  What do you think about adding the blonding cream to the color/developer?

Hi,
 
The only thing that will lift your colour is bleach, as colour wont lift colour. If its your natural colour the 20 vol should have lifted the colour 1 shade lighter as thats the amount of lift you will get with 20 vol. 30 vol will give you up to 3 levels of lift, but is a little harsher on the hair. Why don't you get your stylist to add more hi lights and when you feel your getting too light just get her/him to add some low lights with either your natural base 7 or use the 8.
 
Karen.

DeadHowdy all!  I recently came into a situation where I can't afford my stylist anymore..  I can afford to have her do my highlights BUT not my base color..  SO, I am a big fan of goldwell color and my natural color is about a 7 (yep, dark).  I have very porus hair and it has been through alot!
My question is:  I bought goldwell 8NP-Light blonde/ pearl beige and want to lift the roots (new growth) to a light beigey blonde color.. I will have my stylist do the white highlights (i like my hair light).  I used the 20 volume topchic developer BUT it did not lift AT ALL!  Do I need something else to make it lift?  I want to lift it without damaging it too much.
Any and all advice is appreciated!!!
*Thanks!- Broke in TX
