Home hair dye advice

[LolaSmiles]

Hello lovely ladies in my phone.
Customer reviews have me in a panic.
I currently have multitonal hair (around a level 7/8 with some 9) from a mix of foils and balayage over the last year.It needs neatening up so I was tempted to either use the colourista ombre kit or go lighter blonde using the John Frieda 10N (which I previously used when my hair was naturally a bit lighter around a shade 9).

On Amazon a couple of the customer reviews said they went ginger using the 10N John Frieda dye and one uploaded this photo. Does anyone have any ideas how their hair would have turned out like that?

I'd rather keep my messy hair than have a disaster.

I imagine they started with darker hair so the hair dye didn't take it to the lighter colour. Box dyes can only lighten so much. You'd need a pre-lightener to go from a darker brown to blonde

Agree with demented here, the peroxide part of the dye has only managed to lighten her shade to a ginger tone. Post a photo of your hair and we can see how yours might come out.

That's reassuring that the horror colours came from user error as the box shows which colours are ok.

My hair is somewhere between these two in terms of tone, after lots of foils and balayage over the last couple of years, but without the darker root at the top.

I reckon it’ll be fine in that shade hair.
