I'm using light brown color right now, haven't tried blond color yet.. it covers grey but not 100% and has little reddish tone, but benefit of Henna is that, my hair gets stronger and shinier and falls out less and you need to color it every 2 or 3 weeks..

Patricia, usually a lighter color will not cover a darker color, however it will lighten it a little bit. The Surya brasil golden blond covers my light gray hair and actually darkens the darker gray/red hair, but it all blends nicely and looks good. Hope this helps.

Hey Blondie _ been there, done that!!! I know the balancing act. I Live it. Yes, this is the color you want, follow instructions and no brassy at all. Yay but, I fell asleep with it on for three hours, playboy white is what I got, not my favorite "Land O' Lakes" I have to fix it (been super busy) I will put a color on after doing roots to fix. Ok so your question- keep it about 1 hour with a shower cap (throw away process) yes it will be purple, and you will not have white hair it will be sexy blonde. From one to another xo

You really need to bleach first, and I highly recommend the Sparks lightener and creme developer to do it. I also recommend going with the Ion color stay formula for conditioning, and keeping from fading. Message if you have any more questions. I love this color, and it's totally worth the hassle.

It works really well with me to remove the unwanted brassiness and yellow tones. You will need to bleach your hair first though to acquire the very light blond you are wanting. You will be then ready to test how long this great product needs to be applied for you personally to get the exact shade you're dreaming of. Hope this helps. Good luck Christina!

Depending on your natural hair color, if you're trying to avoid brassiness ("red tone"), stick with ash or violet colors. The "N" in "7N" stands for neutral. That may work, but you may be better off with a "7A" or "7V." (The V isn't as common, but I know Ion has a color like that.) If you use the 7N and have red tones, this Brass Banisher product works fairly well. You can also try Wella Color Charm toner in T18. That may darken your color a little bit, but it will remove the red. You'll need to use a 20 developer with it. If your natural color is dark (brown or black), stick with the ashy colors. If you're already blonde and just want to go lighter, the neutral color may work ok. Wella Color Charm also has some extreme ash colors. I believe there is a 7AA color. I went from dark brown to light blonde. I like the intense ash colors, they really help to get rid of the "orange" that inevitably occurs when I dye my hair. But if your hair is dark, just using a 7 color probably isn't going to make it blonde. You'll probably have to bleach it first, then use the color, and probably add a toner. Unless you want to try the L'Oreal HiColor product. I, personally, haven't used that, but it's supposed to help you go from dark to light in one step with no brassiness.

If your hair is blonde it will make the highlights a lighter color. The gray roots will also be closer to the highlighted color, but in the same color tone as the chosen hair color.

For a natural look I use a mix of 80% light ash (blond) and 20% light natural. This prevents my color to be in a too red or slightly greenish hue. I tried the medium, and my hair had a fake dyed look that was way too dark... So I suggest going lighter than you think you need.

I would try dark brown or black..you can blot it after applying and make it lighter. I use blonde but when I put it on it's dark so I blot it with a tissue and it looks natural.

I have "Salt & Pepper" hair...It`s great for the salt...the pepper looks no different. I use it only once a month or so to keep the white hair bright.

If thats your natural color it should still be a nice shade of purple. If you were to bleach it using the lowest developer, the color would stand out more. I did it on red/magenta hair and a nice purple blue came out.

I used Pravana after bleaching and dying my hair purple and blue for a year as well. It took three applications to mostly strip my hair but it was a yellow, brassy color and not the light blonde I was wanting. I would assume the black would be difficult to lift because it's so dark. But if you're not wanting to use bleach on your hair, I would suggest this product. Although, for me at least, it didn't work as well as I was hoping. I ended up just doing a soap cap (shampoo and bleach mixture) to get it blonde. I should also warn you that the smell of Pranana is extremely intense and can only be compared to a dog's fart. The smell lasts for multiple shampoos. Hope this is helpful! I used Pravana after bleaching and dying my hair purple and blue for a year as well.

Since I have blonde hair, which now has lots of white, I have to defer to someone who still has darker hair. I have noticed that I have some areas on top of my head that appears very dark.....almost black. Douglas

Pearl Blonde with and use Gray Magic....it will turn the solution very orange looking, do not despair....it will not affect the color....the pearl will ash out the god tones and grab the white hairs

You'll need to bleach your hair unless it's already blonde. I usually go to Sally beauty supply and get the bleach and the developer. They have kits with everything already in it. You can ask one of the girls that works there as they can tell you exactly what to get.

No, but without bleach the color won't be as vibrant and might only be visible in certain lights, unless you're a natural blonde.

Not if you don't leave it in for long. Shampoo & rinse. If you need more toning, leave it in longer next time. You could also just target the blonde tips. I also have two-toned hair, but because I'm growing in my natural color and sometimes I just treat the blonde tips so my natural white won't be blue. :D

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.
