How to Get Black Hair Ash Blond
Hair color is no longer restricted to the four basic categories of black, blond, brown and red. Each category has multiple subcategories within it, providing a range of colors to choose from for transforming your hair. Ash blond is a term for darker blond hair. Considered a cool hair color, it complements people with dark brown, olive, medium pale or pale skin and dark brown, gray blue, dark blue or hazel eyes. If you have naturally black hair, you can turn it ash blond with a combination of bleaching and coloring. Does this Spark an idea?

Stand outside in the sun with a handheld mirror. Look at your hair in the sunlight and examine it for red tones or highlights.
