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 :)
