HiI'm trying to figure out what all I need to do my own color? I like the light blonde, not quite white but pretty blonde. What all do I need?

I suggest you to go to your nearest beauty supply store and ask for what you need. They have tons of different colors to choose.

It depends on the color of your own hair. With Schwarzkopf you can go from medium brown to a lighter medium blonde in one step. If your hair is medium brown or lighter, use a developer - high volume for darker hair, lower volume for lighter hair, with a level 10 neutral color. If you have really dark hair, you need to lighten it first to a pale yellow, then apply a color.

You probably need something different than I have. I use 20 volume peroxide with the color -equal amounts. However I am using a darker color. Now I am practically white but I've always done it this way-still works. Not sure about lightening.

I ordered the lightest color, which should be Ginger Blonde, but when I got it, it is not light enough for my hair. It is more brassy than I expected, not so blonde, with almost reddish tint to it. I am going to figure out if I can add color to it. I do like the quality for the price though. Maybe there is a lighter color that I didn't see? Good luck :-)

The ocher was actually perfect for me. I too always get too white or it's too dark! This color is more of a beige/tan. No pink under stones nor too yellow. It's if you mixed a dark medium with a light. You'd get a creamy tan color. When I looked at the other colors they were too extreme. This one should be perfect. It's really spreadable and you honestly don't need a lot. Which is good because you do t get a ton of product, but I'm just in love with this. It goes well with a lot of skin types tbh. I think you will be thrilled.

I use a darker shade even though my hair is lighter. I had the same problem with the lighter shade. It was just too light to show up. Darker works really well and you can mix them til you get the right tone. My hair looks thick if my roots are darker and no one can even tell. you won't need nearly as much product that way.

You can use whatever you wish. Just keep in mind that the lower you go, the less color will show. Ex: if you use a 40 developer, your color will be vibrant and pop. If you use a 20 developer, your color will be lightly vibrant and suttle. Also, the longer you keep it on the hair, the more color you get. Ps: don't exceed over 1hr. I honestly wouldn't even go over that. Hope this helps

I think it would depend on your skin time and the look you are trying to achieve. If you are wanting a soft look I really like the blonde dipbrow. I think any ash color would work. I believe there is an ash blonde color. :) I also hear chocolate is a nice color but it may be to harsh.

Yes, it will work but you will have to keep it in longer to get your hair blonde. I put fantasy colors over it (usually a pink or a purple) so I need it very, very blonde...almost platinum to be able to do it. But, yes, it works. Just keep checking your hair every 10-15 minutes and you should be fine

Narrow it down to two, and then do the eeny-meeny-miny-moe thing -- works for me. I got the one that's nearly black, but they all look nice. I would even have taken the red, green or orange, if the options were limited. Pick your favorite color -- get something that matches the dominant color in your wardrobe -- the options are limitless on reasons for choosing a particular color.

Was wondering how you pick the developer? My mom had her hair colored at a salon here, and wants to do her own at home. So I got the color but I dont know what kind of developer to buy. She is all grey

Hi Silvermiss,I love Goldwell Elumen Product! What color is your natural hair or the area of hair which your attempting to color? It will make a difference in your results. I would suggest if you attempting to add a lighter-lilac/lavender color, test a mixture of clear Elumen and a drop( a dime size) of VV@all on a color pallet. I would also add taking the color you have created and test it on a white surface(suggested paper to see if it is the desired color you want). I hope this information will help in finding the solution to adding the light lilac/lavender color you want. :) Good Luck! Hi Silvermiss,I love Goldwell Elumen Product!

I just got my wig today, and it is gorgeous! However, mine is not the color shown on their picture! Mine is a definite light to med red.. ..It IS a very pretty color, not fake looking, at all.. and nice and matte, with just a slight shine,like real hair..I really wanted the light brown one, but that's ok.. And,i did order mine from X and Y Angel, to make sure i didn't get something substandard... Yes,theirs is more expensive, but,I believe it's worth it, to pay $20.00, including the 5.00 shipping... And ,also, they said it would take 7-10 days, and it actually took 19 days.. But they were so nice when i contacted them.. and apologized.. I just got my wig today, and it is gorgeous!

I think you are supposed to use a color close to your natural color. I have graying hair, but my eyebrows are not gray. I found the blonde color to be darker than expected, but worked well with my fair skin.

I went with this color for the same reason. It worked out ok... To be honest, I used the whole thing.... But ended up going back to my Rita Hazan spray. Definitely pricier, but I felt it was more natural looking. I guess it depends where on your head you're using it. I use it on the hairline, with a parted ponytail, etc., so I need it as natural looking as possible. Hope that helps!

I used to be hairstylist, my advice is not to color it itself especially if u want it lighter like highlights it will most likely not come out the color you want it. However if you really want to color it you would have to bleach the pieces that u want highlighted and then tone the bleached hair to take the yellow tone out. It you could just buy a toner ( blue base to take orange/ red tone out or a purple base toner to take the yellow out). It's hard to do and it might not come out how you like it. Best thing is to take it to a hairstylist or buy a piece that comes in the color you want.

I purchased Loreal Dream Blonde #11 and I love it It is Extra Light Blonde and I had a compliment just this morning in the grocery store on the color of my hair. So get the Glistening Magnolia if you want an extra light Blonde
