Hair dye question

So bleach blonde hair with quote big dark roots.
Thinking of going a more natural blonde, what hair dye colour will I need?
I will be doing it at home. Tia

ur best bet if dyeing at home is to go for a subtle ombre. i would get a dye beginning with a jumber 8 for this.

it will be difficult to match the roots and bleach blond up on your own.

you could try putting a base 9 or 10 all over however ur ends will likely still be lighter.

what kind of colour are you hoping to be, do you have a pic?

What about the kit to strip the colour back and start again?

you cant strip bleach. bleach takes the colour pigment out of the hair.

i would do a subtle ombre in that case. go for a base 9 or 8. backcomb ur hair just below your root line and colour ur roots.

if u have a wide tooth comb u could pick the top section up and.comb a few low lights through the underneath to blend it a bit better.

good luck. be plenty of youtube vids around if you want to see it in action.

My understanding is that you have to put ash tones in your hair rather than reddish that will go orange on a very light base...
