Hey guys! I need help!
So my natural hair color is sort of a dark ashy blonde and I've been lightening it with Vitality's 100 natural ultra blonde for about a couple years. I've always loved strawberry blonde and have always wanted to try it and I did. I mixed 3/4 of vitality's 9.33 very light intense golden blonde with 1/4 of vitality's 9.34 very light gold copper blonde as I wanted something not too red. When I first applied it I decided to leave my ends bare to give it a sort of ombré look but the color didn't take very well on my length so I reaplied the color with a bit more 9.34 on my length.
The result is fine, depsite having a lot of my previous blonde still there but I just don't like it on me. So I would need some advice to change it. I decided to wash it with head&shoulders mentol as people say it helps to wash out the color a little.
I heard that if I do a wella koleston 12/81 it might neutralized the copper and the golden but I wonder if doing something like color B4 would be better. I don't really know if there is more gold or more copper in my hair now and I'm scared of doing something ashy and having green hair.
I would like to go back to my previous hair color or maybe try something more golden.
I added a picture of my hair before coloring and with pretty big roots, my hair now and the kind of golden blonde that I'd like to try.
I hope that someone can give me some advice!
Thanks! 🙂

Yes, try colourb4. You really shouldn't use anything with peroxide in for at least a month.

Okay thanks, I'm gonna order the color b4 then.
Any tip on which color number to get for the golden blonde?

I wouldn't know, Blonde isn't really my thing. 🙂
Again though, I wouldn't suggest anything to mix with peroxide. I believe they do blonde toners in Superdrug though, if you're in the UK.

Constantly using permanent dyes over already bleached hair is a really bad idea. Either use direct dyes or a demi permanent with a very low vol peroxide.
As you only want a small change in tone i would go with direct dyes, as they are totally non damaging. Superdrug do Colour effects and Colour Episodes which both have a warm blonde shade, and Nice&Easy do a non-permanent range which has a few blonde shades. Wella Colour Fresh comes in a wide range of shades, or there are mousse colours such as Roux fanciful etc that will temporarily change the shade of your blonde.
You can also dilute a golden brown direct dye to make a blonde shade, Adore have some great browns.

Thank you both for your answers 😀
I ordered colour b4 and wella color fresh in 9/3 and hopefully I'll get a good result!
EDIT: I saw on the FAQ of the colour B4 website this :
My blonde hair colour is not too bad, but I don’t like the tone – can I use ColourB4™?
Try a tonal cleansing with ColourB4™ Regular. With this method, you mix the product but only apply 1/3 of the bottle to damp hair. Comb the product through and develop for 10 minutes (rather than the standard 60) and rinse and buffer the hair just as instructed (for regular colour removal). This method of ColourB4™ removal is very weak but ideal for removing unwanted tone in blonde hair.
Do you think this method would work for me or should I do the standart 60 minute method?

I think that you may not have the amount of colour removed that you want, since you're going for light blonde anyway I would just leave it on for the recommended time.

I would try it on a strand test, you don't need to take a lot of color out to go golden blonde.

Oops, I didn't realise you still want golden blonde, I thought you were trying to get back to your original colour.
