I couldnt' find it Malibu. I bought Camimole instead for now, to see if it would do a similar thing. It was an exta light natural blonde. I left it in for 40 minutes. I dunno if it worked all to well.
In some light itl ooks darker in others lighter. I dunno. everyone tells me it looks good now and I should leave it. But I can't... I need like Hair Colors Annoynoms. LOL
it looks darker against the light.
and the roots, I had a few black but nothing serious. I dunno. I'm still going to try the white choclate thing. I just gotta find it. :(

yeah they were virgin roots. my virgin roots are like dark blonde/light brownish and they actually turned out lighter than the rest of my hair, and the rest of my hair was really light blonde. so it works really well. I left it on for a long time though

no it's not a bleaching kit, it's just hair color. It says it's a new shade so idk if all stores have it or not? All the stores I go to have it. But it works really well, I'm glad I finally found one that works.

it looks like this

 

and if you get it, make sure to only put it on the roots or dark parts, because it turns your hair grey. lol. well it did for me, in the areas that I accidentally got it on that were already light, but it works sooo good on the roots. I was so happy, I've been trying forever to get my roots to match the rest of my hair

Bambilee you should try White Chocolate by Garnier Nutrisse. It works soo well. I could never get my root area to match the rest of my hair because it would always go too yellow or something, but I use this hair dye now and keep it on my roots for like an hour just to make sure it all turns light ash blonde and it really works. I love it.

I used Herbal Essences XL-0 once and it made my hair yellowy, like those lightening kits and you're supposed to tone when you're done. Or maybe I just didn't leave it in long enough

Okay Look at my ends... I want the area around my face to be the same color and I just can't get it. Do you think if I use what Kelly used I could get that?
Argh it's so frustrating. And If I do. how can I keep the bleach from touching my processed parts?
Oh help...

I used Herbal essence back in my highschool days...this was my hair back then...It completely fried it and it started breaking everywhere   I had to cut it to my chin and grow it out all over again.  Here is mine -

So I guess that is my word of caution!!!

Any kind of violet toner or shampoo will counteract the yellow. Manic
Panic in Virgin white has violet toner added to it.

Well, I use a deep conditioner once a week. I think the fact that I only left it on the processed hair 5 minutes or less once a month had alot to do with it.

I just went to a light/med blonde and everyone has said they like it better platinum or at the very least light ash. The color in my avatar was one of my favorites, but it doesn't seem to be my loved ones'. I guess I know what I'm doing in 4 weeks.

I didn't use a toner. I just used the Herbal Essences XL-0....http://www.cvs.com/CVSApp/cvs/gateway/detail?prodid= 309986

I was already a very light ash blonde, but it wasn't lifting my med blonde roots and they were yellow.

Oh my god I love you! I'm going to try that. I havea  horrible time lifting my roots. I can't get them light enough to match my processed parts. I'm going to try it! However my naturally roots should be lifted a few times, I have black hair. But my reddy blonde roots... could that lift them do you think?

And is this from a box?

Yes, it's from a box and no.....I used it for over a year and my hair was in great shape. Of course, I only applied it to the processed hair for 5 minutes every 4 weeks. It was mainly to lighten the roots.
