Hair dye advice needed

I've been using esalon very successfully for the past 20 months, however they are now having issues delivering to Ireland, so my hair dye has been stuck in transit for six weeks!

My roots are diabolical so I'm contemplating using a box dye because I can't get to a salon for ages. My old hair salon formula was equal amounts of 7.0 plus 7.3 and one eigth of 8.3. My esalon stage was dark golden blonde.

My original colour was a sort of dark blonde with some red so my hair has natural red in. Does anyone have a suggestion of a good/suitable box dye to use?

Just buy some paper dye online plus some developer and mix it up. I find it comes out much better than box dye. I use 7 ash blonde (can’t remember the number). It’s still quite warm on me.
