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

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

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. :(

I thought I'd post under this. Bambilee, your hair looks great! Like you, I have black/brown roots, and I have heavily highlighted hair. The top part of my hair is highlighted to level 9, while the bottom part of my hair is between light brown to dark blonde. But I can see the roots around my crown. I just had my hair highlighted, but it didn't cover my roots well so I still have those dark roots and I want to cover them.
Malibu, would White Chocolate (which I can easily find in drugstores) lighten up my dark roots sufficiently to blend in the rest of my highlights without overlapping them and without turning them orange since I have thick hair? I'd say my overall hair looks like a light beige blonde, and I don't want to go platinum at this time. The another color that works well for me in the past is using Wella color charm white lady, they lifted my roots to a nice level 7-8 with just 20 volume developer blonde since my hair is naturally very dark. I hope White Chocolate or another color would work with roots only.
Since you guys brought it up, does White Chocolate work on darker colored hair like dark blonde? I still have some dark blonde areas that I'd like to lighten to match the rest of my highlights that are much lighter. I try to avoid any orange or brassy tones and bleach too since I no longer have any very dark colors. Thanks.

Unfortunately I don't think it would sufficiently lighten up us natural brunnettes, becuz i tried this similar extra light ash blonde color by excellence, it was the blonde supremes. I intentionally did it to make my roots orange so i could put semi red over it, and the most it turned out on my anyways was an *almost* honey blonde, ALTHO if i had done another round, i'm sure it would have lifted a little more into a more identifiable blonde.

well I tried tons of different brands of extra light ash blonde, and they always turned my hair kind of yellowy and it would turn brassy after like a week, instead of a light ash shade. But I've been getting excellent results with White Chocolate by Garnier Nutrisse. My roots are dark blonde/light brown and it actually lifts them to the color shown on the box as results

Using extralight blonde colors. DOES lighten my black roots. Seriously,
it lifts them so much you would never tell. So yes it woudl work, but
you have to leave it in for a while. It will be a peachy/blonde color
when your done. Most likely.
All this about having to use bleach is not completely true. However if
you want VERY VERY VERY blonde roots, yes you'd most likely have to
bleach, but if you just want to blend them in with the rest of your
hair, using the extra light blonde colors, DOES WORK! Honest!

Thanks. I'm gonna try White Chocolate, bambilee! BTW, you looked great in pics entries above. Not bad job with the extra light natural blonde. The only other color I've tried on roots only was wella colorcharm countess blonde, they lifted my roots all way to light natural blonde color with just 20 vol.

this is what I got with white chocolate. if you look at the top it's a little different than the rest. But I keep it on my roots for like an hour and it blends enough to look good. And I use shimmer lights so my hair is basically now white. Only it's really damaged and stuff, but oh well. Then when I touch up my roots again (I'm ocd and have to put more on when I have like 1 cm) I cover up the part from before and it gets lighter
the only problem I have is the bottom layer from these brown lowlights I put in a while ago that won't seem to turn anything but yellow. It looks extra white in this photo, I think it's just the lighting
btw it didnt get that light just from the box hair dye, I had highlights 2 months ago and they used bleach

Ah, I see. I want mine to look like that but not sooo
white. Your hair looks like glass. It's so cool! I went to another
store looking for white chocolate it's not in yet. I dunno they have
like only one box of dye that has the "new shade" on the box. I'm going
to wait a while. I also got tipped off that one of the girls in the
salon taht I work by will make anyones hair really, really blonde. For
like 50 bucks. So I might go talk to her. Anywhoo. I'm still searching
for that white chocolate!
