Hello all : ) So I had virgin hair up until a year ago (prof pic is of virgin all natural color) and last summer I got highlights, well a week ago I realized how drastically my dark blonde roots were contrasting to the bleach highlights mixed into the lower half of my long hair, and had lowlights put in. My hair looks all over DARK blonde, even though the woman didn't touch my roots w/ the lowlights, she covered almost all of the highlights up. I'm feeling a little too dark haired for my identity I feel even a bit darker blonde than my natural color was, however that could just be a year of lightness thanks to highlights. My hair has darkened as I've aged, so I want to add some SUBTLE blonde highllights in. Here's what I'm wondering:
What do you suggest for gentle, less harmful subtle highlights that will only need touch ups every 6 months? I want them to look natural enough to grow up without touch ups and something that will be less harmful to my fine hair. Should I be able to go one or two shades lighter than my natural if I don't want to touch up for 6 whole months? Please advise me! I'm not in a huge hurry since it's November and I just had my hair lowlighted last week, but I'm wanting to make a plan and your help is greatly appreciated : ) Thanks!
