I'm new here.

I'm completely confused by my hair colour vs skin colour vs tone etc.

I grew up a red-head, although the colour has significantly faded over

the years (I'm 45 now).  Growing up a red-head, naturally I thought I

was a "warm" skin tone, but suddenly my stylist has revealed that I'm

a "cool" tone (summer by season).  For a lot of years, I tried to find a

store bought red that matched my natural colour and had success.

I usually chose a medium strawberry of some sort.

 

Over the last year, I've taken to using a light golden blonde.  My hair

was getting fairly yellow, and it took me a while to really notice.  Now

that I'm realizing I have cool skin tones, I tried an ultra light ash blonde.

The end result has been what I'd say is a fairly neutral light blonde.  My

roots are growing in, and the underside of my hair matches them, and

I'd call it a fairly medium ash blonde. 

 

What I'd like to do, is bring the light shade back down to the same level

as the roots and underhair.  Is there a way for me to do this with store

bought?  I understand that putting an ash on a golden runs the risk of

turning green, and I was lucky that didn't happen last time.   I guess I'm

asking for help in turning all my hair the same colour, and I'd like to achieve a neutral medium blonde.  Can someone please help?
