I agree with the golden tones being more flaterring to your skin, however  this new lighter color does not make you look dark it still is VERY pretty. Don't worry about being tan, I think you look awesome with the pale white skin and the beautiful hair. If you tanned you would just look like every other blonde tanned girl out there. :)
As to getting to the orange out, perhaps just doing that "AREA" again will help.
Anyways I give you thumbs up. That color would not work on everyone. I wish I could get that color... looks awesome!

Is your hair still in good shape?

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

I think this second go round looks great!  It looks very natural and is flattering to your skin tone.

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.

yeah, now I wanna go back to a light color! hah, I can't make up my mind, it's still real healthy though so maybe after a few weeks with this color I'll go a few shades lighter, not as light as it was before though. Inside it looked alright, but in natural daylight I looked like an albino or something, it was too light. 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.
