It really is like the strand shown in the picture but that is also very much a golden ash, Really I think it’s the closest to a natural ash blonde colour, which is a shade or two lighter than my natural hair colour (a dark ash blonde), I used this to shadow my roots on my silver/ash blonde hair so the my regrowth blends in and it’s perfect! I really love it so I think as a ombré/shadowing it works really well, and I’d say it’s a safe colour to go if your looking for some texture in a natural golden/beige blonde Look too. Note that I had bleached 12 and 10 hair before using, so if you want the colour in the picture, it will lighten over a darker blonde but still safer to pre lighten To get the right tone, it also helped to get rid of a slight yellow tone that I had in my hair so when I say it’s a golden ash I mean like 70s perfect ash golden blonde not brassy yellow bleach fail blonde - iv used wella colour charms heaps now and 100% recommend them as fail proof colours, hopefully that all makes sense and is helpful! Also delivery arrived in the eta time frame and I received a hand written note with my package, which always goes to show the owners love for their business :)

I used this to tone the orange out of hair, and it worked to get the orange out of bleached hair but now my hair is like ash brown instead ash blonde.

Thanks for the help with choosing this colour Sarah, it worked perfectly. It has taken the brassy tones out of my light brown hair. My hair actually feels and looks healthier after colouring it. I'm so glad I found the Tint Department, I can now colour my hair at home.

This colour really gives my hair a natural look with no brassy tones. Pretty much takes my hair back to its original colour.

Helped tone my yellow hair and gave it a light ashy look. It lasted way longer than the toners so I would highly recommend!
