Light Ash Brown Asian Hair

Being Asian with naturally dark hair its always been difficult to go lighter without bleaching it. Hairdressers are always unwilling or claim they are unable to reach my desired hair colour without bleach. So I decided and brave it and opt for a blonde dye to dye my hair into a light ash brown.

I currently already have light ash brown hair but its been a a couple of months since I've dyed it so have disgusting dark roots. I can nearly say I have ombre hair (anyway it's still kinda in isn't it........).
So I just went to my local drug store to pick up a light ash brown dye. Always look carefully to pick one with the word ash in it. As the ash tone in the dye will tone down the orangeness which is very common to happen when dying dark hair lighter.

I went to my local drugstore and got the Loreal Excellence Creme in 9.1 Light Ash Blonde.

 

It was a bit scary as i knew I didn't want my hair blonde. So I wisely did a strand test. After I just touch up the roots and this is the end result.

I'm really happy with the result. No more roots :) Although I should of total brushed my hair before this picture!!!! I'm going to keep using this dye to touch up my roots as it blends in nicely with the rest of my hair colour. I find touching up the roots regularly is less damaging than dying the whole head all the time! 

I hope this helps for people who has dark hair wanting to achieve a lighter shade!!!
