Advice on blonde hair coloring please?

My daughter has dark blonde hair with some natural pastel blonde highlights in it but wants me to put a blonde tint on for her. I dont want it to turn out yellow, just a nice natural blonde...any advice please on nice colors? (going to sally`s tomorrow) should I just mix with 6% as her hair is quite fair anyway?Advice on blonde hair coloring please?
It depends what you are trying to accomplish. Lightening all over? Or toning down the highlights? The best thing to do to keep it looking natural is to just put in a few more highlights. You could use powder lightner (bleach) with 20 volume (6%) peroxide and you should get some nice blonde highlights.





EDIT: if she has never colored her hair before then yes, tint will lift it up to 4 levels depending on what developer you use. 20 volume developer will lift 1 level which probably won't show up very much. 30 volume lifts 2 levels and 40 volume lifts 3-4 levels. it's best to use a color with an ash base to fight the gold as you lighten. i would still recommend doing highlights instead of an all over color because it will be more subtle and natural looking and you will deal with less upkeep than if you do her whole head. If you are getting color at Sally's the staff there should be able to help you pick out a color.
