Okay I tried the ASH suggestion with my reddish/blonde processed hair.
I used Nicen'Easy's Light Natural Ash Blonde on my hair. I will get a better picture later, but here it is damp... less red more blonde. I like it, I even like how some parts under the hair stayed darker, it's a nice.
Hmmm....
I had highlights previously, they show up better with the ash I guess.
I didn't bleach out the roots, I just left them. The lighter parts ends will break off if I do. The things I do to my hair. geesh. I'll post one dry picture in proper lighting later. :) I think it worked. No more red at least!!!! Thanks Vicky for suggestion many shades lighter than i want and an ash color. It worked!

I know hey! It is really nice in natural light. It looks good, I'm so happy Vicky suggested the whole ash thing. I was scared of it.
It even toned down the greenish tone I had in the ends. It's awesome. YAY!
Now to keep it this way. Meh!

Awe thank you beachgerl. I prefer it to my natural. I really like the color it is right now. I'm going to keep it. It looks good, but everyone is blonde now a days. I never noticed it as a brunette. I mean everyone, old ladies who are trying to be young, young girls trying to be older ladies... it's nuts.
Has anybody noticed this? I've seen like three natural blondes in all my time in this town. I mean I really like being blonde, but the peeves I have is, Everyone has the same color of hair as I do (or me them whichever) and its' so hard to keep. One day I'll go back... one day. :D

That may be true. I agree blonde color is the most popular, but not everyone wears blonde anyway. I still see some stunning brunettes and redheads floating around. For me, I want to do something different for a while, nothing against my natural color. Besides, I knew that being blonde will make me stand out a bit because I'm asian and not many asians wear their hair blonde due to "cultural" pride thing.

I understand, I like to stand out rather than blend into the crowd.I get so bored with my natural color.Well in any case you wear blonde very well beachgerl.Its really all about what makes you feel good.

It is, usually if your comfortable in it it shows, however some people can not wear blonde at all. I thought I would be one of them but it turned out not to be so. I'm going to go get my hair cut today, let's see what we get.
I'm so scared!

Bambilee that colour is stunning it really suits you! Do you really want to go lighter?

I'd love my colour like that! How exactly did you do it? if you don't mind me asking.

It took a very long hair breaking process, Loopy Lou. LOL
I bleached it from a box, had it fixed by a hairdresser, had an accident while doing roots, dyed it expresso, it washed out, dyed it dark blonde for a long time, then started using Extra Light Ash Blonde. ;)
