I did a strand test on my already processed ends... it turned out to be a  nice white blonde, However, bleaching my roots resulted in a beautiful orange/yellow. LOL.
Is your hair all natural Long?

i would say get your desired shade of a demi permanent haircolor. this will be less damaging on your already bleached hair. 
learn to love what you were born with
you can do anything if you set your mindto it (just dont try this with hair,that could turn out bad)

Alright,i  have been doing strand tests with pretty good results.I have a permanent medium to light brown shade on right now over highlights.I used Loreal's colorzap and then loreals high performance quick blue powder with a 20 volume developer.It turned to the pale banana inside color everyone talks about.I'm very happy with the results.The strands are still in good condition too( I took strands from two different places on my head).A little dry(obviously)but no breakage.I am going to do my actual head soon but dont want to have banana peel colored hair,lol. I used Ardells red gold corrector plus on one of the strands.It looks a little better.But I want something with more ash tones.Its too warm for my skintone.Anyone have any reccomendations.Like should I buy an ash blonde to go over the lightened color or just get a good toner?
