I am a dark blonde who use to get foil highlights, then got talked into doing an all over blonde color. No bleach was used. But the new color is much lighter then my natural. I am kind of happy with this mega blonde look, but I just realized I can not afford getting my roots done every 4-6 weeks, plus I am pregnant and want to cut down on coloring. Now what to do? !!!! I know growing this out will be painful and look horrible. I have a short hairstyle, layered bob.My first idea was thinking of waiting as long as I could until it is really noticeable, then have my stylist do only some sections of the roots with foils, one shade darker than the last color she applied and continue doing that every 2 months until I get back to the way it was.My second idea was having her wait until enough of my roots grow out to get my natural color, then maybe having low lights in a shade close to my natural color put in to make the roots blend in with the much lighter ends.If anyone has any other suggestions, please post them. I don't think I would be up to a color correction at this point, my sister had that done, by a very good stylist, and it was a disaster.

It is a very gentle/conditioning color that works wonderfully in this type of application. It leaves your hair feeling very good and is long lasting and reasonable in cost. william
