okay..
i've been about every color imagineable.. but for awhile now i was a chamagne blonde color. i dont know, but for some reason it looked dull and it didn't look like a blonde color at all. it maybe even looked sort of green-ish? for my tan skin it made me look awful. anyway, i tried going to a 'light blonde' ..and i left it on my roots for a little longer ..maybe 6 minutes longer ..and then i put it on my whole hair for about 10 more minutes and it looks like it only lightened my roots to an slight orange tint you can see in natural sunlight and bright lights.
 
i wasn't wanting a pale blonde.. but i wanted a light blonde. i wasn't sure if i should just go a little lighter and use this thing that you get at Sally's that takes out the golden and red tones? but i don't know if that has anything to do with it. it just looks dull and not blonde .. or i didn't know if i should get some lightening kit like borne blonde or something.
 
heres some pictures of my before and after color:

u need to get a clarifying shampoo first, then u need something red. red cancels out green. Like a red toner or for something less darmatic use a red shampoo that is made to take unwanted green tones out of the hair. Paul mitchell makes one. Ask ur local sallys if they have colored shampoo that takes out unwanted tones.

Yeah, but now she's got orange tones so she needs something with a blue base to counteract the orange.  Try a blue-based toner or demi-permanent color.
