Okay for starters my hair is currently this color:
 In about a weeks time I'm going to my salon for an all over color job, just to get a solid color, do my roots, get rid of the gold tones etc. Which color do you guys think would get me to about a platinum blonde? Not super white but maybe about this color?:
 I heard that if you go with a light ash blonde, then your hair will be pretty light as a result. Is this true? If not, what do you think would work?
Thanks a ton in advance

Yes,Ash gets out goldish tones and makes hair seem "whiter",more platinum.
Too much ash can leave hair looking greenish or greyish,but that shouldnt be a problem right now since you have alot of gold tones.(which I think your hair is Gorgeous! I cant wait until mine is that long!!!)
Maybe print out that picture and take it with you as a reference for your stylist.

Perfect! Thanks so much :)
I heard that a light natural blonde works too. Is this true? And which one do you think would work better to achieve that platinum look?

| Light natural may work,but for me it was the light ash that really made it platinum looking. |

julesyjul88: Thanks! I'm definitely gonna give the light ash a try.
And thanks, Rebekah! I don't mind the colour I have now, but I've had multitonal hair for what seems like forever, so I'm ready for a change :)
