Highlighting Coloured Hair ?

Posted By: Toby Subject: Highlighting Coloured Hair ? Date Posted: April 11 2006 at 2:33am I use to highlight my natural hair colour (very dark blonde), but I decided to make the base colour slightly lighter before I add the highlights again. Unfortunately this colour has come out a sort of a coppery / blonde colour (used Garnier Nutrisse golden blonde), not quite what I intended, but I'm just wondering if the highlights will still come out the usual blonde shade, not a strange orange if I carry on without removing the colour first. Thanks. Toby.
