What shade of blonde is this?

This is my hair a few years ago. What shade would you say it is? I get confused by eg light blonde, dark blonde, warm toned blonde etc. I have highlights in it but are these quite subtle? Or like hello I'm a bottle blonde?

I like the tone and I'm going to ask the hairdresser to repeat it (like that's ever worked in the history of hairdressing!)

I'd describe it as a kind of cool baby blonde but personally I find it too blocky/one dimensional. Sometimes I think people who are quite fair think that cool must work best, but actually warmer tones look better as it creates more contrast with the skin. It's counterintuitive maybe but actually I think your skintone would work better with more of a caramel shade and a more graphic effect on the roots

I would have guessed strawberry blonde/darker at the crown with highlights everywhere else?

Interesting! Thank you. I've currently got a 'bronde' toner on it and it's far too dark and too warm.

Feels hard to get the right shade match to the dirty blonde I see so much online. I'll take pics to my hairdresser and hopefully she can tell me what's achievable.

It looks like a blonde in the 9 shade range

My blonde is darker and in the 8 shade range

I bought recently the John Frieda Velvet crush intense shampoo which has taken out the brassy tones a bit after the first wash. I've used it twice now and am pleasantly surprised with the results

I bought a stronger purple shampoo called Fanola but I'm to scared to use it Grin so I thought I'd try a milder version first
