strawberry blonde
ginger blonde
ash blonde
medium blonde
sandy blonde

i can name like 50 types of blonde

and not because i am one.

i have to say though im not a fan of dark hair with chunks of blonde
some people can pull it off but as for the rest of us..its a no go.
maybe try striping your hair of color and putting a caramel brown on it

it'll eventually fade and you have lighter hair.

Hi, I have a little suggestion. Try living with your new look for a couple of days, it can be a shock when you have a big change of style/colour. You might grow to love it!
Also, when you change colour, you need to experiment with different colours makeup and clothes etc as the colours you usually wear might not compliment the new colour.
If after a few days you still hate it, I have to suggest going to the hairdressers, and not faffing around with it yourself.
This is from someone who has totally frazzled her hair going from dark brown to ash blonde to platinum blonde, to purple...too much bleach frazzles the hair (and maybe the brain :P)
Your hair sounds pretty cool to me though happy

when you get your highlights get them bleached in, if you want a high lift, then wash your hair with shimmer lights shampoo to refresh them and make them less brassy.
