I have recently removed golden tones fr. my hair with a color remover followed by bleach and tone. I love this tone but my hair is way too light. Bordering on a L11 NA, I find this blond to be too superficial for my skin tone and style. I want to do a highlighting cap to maintain a natural look and get that beach blond style. I am thinking a demi-permanent L8 A. Does this sound like a good idea and how much hair should I pull out of this cap considering these are lowlights ? Thanks! |

| you do not want to use an ash base because hair at that level has no pigment, if you use a 8 A it will most likely turn grayish or even green, ashes are mostly meant for toning with some acceptions. Always do a test strand and monitor your hair will grab like crazy. |
