"If you're going from light hair to dark hair and it's time to maybe darken some old highlights, or if you have some re-growth and it's time to go back to your natural color, you have to decide how dark is your natural color and how dark do you want your hair to be.

Here's the highlights that they have, and they want to get back to their natural color.
