on 7/29/2008 I use a golden or honey blond. If your roots come in dark when you dye them they may become a strawberry blond so you will have to bleach the roots. If you have any other questions please feel free to ask.

on 7/28/2008 I have my hair dyed a Fiery Red for almost 11 years now. I've decided to go Platinum Blonde and bleached my hair, at home. Although my hair hasn't turned very yellow, I didn't achieve the Platinum colour I wanted... With so many "blonde" choices on the market, I don't really know which type of blond to choose... Any suggestions, please?
