I did a born blonde toner in silent snow after my recent root touch-up and didn't see too much of a difference. I may try again in a few days.
I still feel like it's a little too yellow, but I may just be obsessing. I only have a mirror in my bathroom and everything looks yellow in there, so it's hard to tell! I took a few pictures in natural light just to see what it looked like outside. The flash wasn't on, but I tried some different angles so they all look a little different. Any ideas on if I'm being overly critical or if not what I can do to get it a little whiter?

I think it looks beautiful!!! I use John Frieda Sheer Blonde products, they really help to tone down yellowness.

You are SO obessesing! That is NOT yellow. I def. know how you feel though. Your wearing the color I'd like to get to eventually! Mine is Yellow... I am so getting that Toner!!!! Silent Snow... looks really good I like it. It's an ashy color... no yellow to be seen. I'm sure after a while you might get yellowy/brassy but just keep using a toner when it does. Right now you are not sporting a hint of yellow! Wonderful! I'm so jealous. LOL

hahaha okay, thank you all! it's annoying how it looks different in every light i'm in, that's the thing about blonde i guess!
jemaniac - i love your color, it just looks more white and less beige and i guess that's kind of what i'm going for! bambilee - if your hair is only yellow you might want to try Blissfully Blonde instead of Silent Snow - apparently you need to be bleached to pale yellow before using silent snow. they're pretty cheap though, so try either!! ------------- Before/After toning with Wella

| Shimmer lights products (found at Sallys) are great at toning down any sort of unwanted tones-but I think it looks amazing! Looks like a very natural VERY light blonde with no yellow to me :) Georgous shade! |

| I wish they had great stuff like Shimmer Lights for other colors - the color specific ones I've tired for red just don't seem to work as well! - perhaps I'll have to give in some time soon and just go blonde! your shade is exactly what I'd like to do someday. :) |
