I should have cut my hair before I did it, because my hair was too long and thick when I dyed it

I like the darker, you look awesome! Your like me. I dye mine every time I see roots or everytime I want to try something.
I'm trying to get mine lighter too. I bleached it out but it turned far to orange so I dyed it darker, now it's too dark and now I have to figure out a way to get it lighter. :D Same boat. But it looks awesome, I like it.
YAY! And it's so long! Mine is only past my shoulder blades and it's in rather good shape considering I've bleached it 9 times, over a period of two years. :)
I'm using Pantene Color Revival stuff, in honey blonde. Dont' do that, it will actually make the color more golden... but it does however leave your hair very healthy looking. Mine is shiny and smooth. I have NO splitends.

A violet or blue toner would have helped, aww i really liked the light color on u, but its ur hair lol.

Yeah the cremey hair colors are kinda hard to saturate on thicker hair which is why many pple prefer the gel kind for more even results.

actually, a few hours ago I just dyed it again (lol) my roots were starting to come in, and I thought it was a little too light. Whenever I read this message board I get the urge to dye my hair, hah. I tried getting it back to my natural color, I bought medium blonde at the drug store, I didn't wanna get any warm or cool shades because I was afraid it would turn a funky color

It turned lighter than the color on the box, I only left it on for like 10 minutes because I was afraid of what would happen. But I think it looks fine.

It's in good condition still, after I dyed it the really light blonde a few weeks ago I got 8 inches cut off, it looked like this before (don't mind the pose, my friend and I were pretending to be models) but yeah before I dyed it I would take a shower, put it in a pony tail, let it air dry, and do nothing to it really. So it was really healthy, and almost down to my waist. It got really frizzy though so that sucked.

I even missed a ton of spots doing it on my own, for now on I think I'm gonna let professionals do my hair. I hope the color I have now fades a little though, I think it's too dark now

I think I want light blonde highlights now

oops forgot about this :) anyway I liked how it turned out, but I don't think I did the bottom enough because it's kind of orangy, but it doesn't look too bad. Here's what it looks like

The only thing I don't like, is that I look sorta washed out, but I like the light color. I don't really tan too well. Is there anything I can do to get the orange out on the bottom? Would I have to dye it again?

the color you want has a lot of blue undertones. i personally think the
goldish hair you have now is very flattering to your skin.

thats how I do my strand tests.I'm glad your strand tests are working out.What products did you end up getting?

You have a point if its just color a higher volume would probably be best.You are right.It probably wouldnt give her the lift she needs.Good luck Malibubabe.And keep us posted.

Your right it looks alot more ash toned in natural light.Indoor lighting can look really harsh in pics which explains the gold warm tones seen in the first pic.Yeah your hair is really light naturally.this should be a snap.You'll definitely be able to wear white blonde and well.I just cant stress enough to do a strand test.I think it will work great.I'm no stylist but I dont think you will need a high volume developer.Why dont you try it first with a lighter volume like 20. The 30 and 40 are meant for faster lightening I'm pretty sure.And faster doesnt mean better.Plus your hair is in good condition I'm sure you dont want to jeopardize that.even going a couple of shades lighter is damaging.Bleach or not.Test first.You'll be glad you did.

sorry this is probably annoying.. what does the 30 volume developer bottle look like?
