Congratulations Tracy! Your hair looks fab and so healthy and shiney! I'm glad someone's color adventure worked out. I don't know if you read my saga, but I bleached my hair all the way out to yellow and put a neutral light brown on it. I've got a bronze or really dark blonde color. I wanted the sandy/beige/brown/blonde color that you got. The light brown was apparently too dark.
I now know that I had to remove the dark brown first with a color remover before lifting it. I'm going to have to let a professional handle it from here...
