Will this lighten colored medium ash brown hair?

I'm not a professional, but I do use this color frequently. I don't think it would have any problem lightening medium ash brown hair. It's pretty strong. My natural color is dark blonde/light brown and my results are very similar to the photo on the box.

Yes, I have light colored hair, which is finer than dark hair and it works great! Just make sure you use it according to the directions and you will be fine.

I have color treated dark brown hair and it does not hurt the color any. If anything the system helps preserve the color and make it stand out more by removing the brassiness/orange.

yes, it will definitely tone it down and make a bit darker. this saved my hair several times in situation like yours.

yes and its not that strong i used it on dark brown hair and it took around 2-3 hrs to pick up a reddish tone .. then i had black hair and since i had an extra box , it took around 4 hours to pick up a dark red tone .. its not as strong ... i also used it in light brown hair it took around 2 hours as well to get into a blondish phase

Not that I'm aware of. It's kind of more like a toner. It says on the bottle it can be used on all kinds of hair colors. I have brown hair with highlights. It's just kind of revives the highlights but doesn't affect the rest of my hair.

it won't lighten your hair, but it will "glaze" it. I have naturally dark-dark brown hair and it adds an interesting dimension of color, especially in the sunlight.

No, not at all... it will make your white hairs slightly more noticeable and give you great shine... though since you have mostly brown hair I wouldn't use the pearl blonde at all... it's designed for lighter blonde shades to make the hair not look dead. What are you trying to accomplish? Tell me that and I can probably help you. Merry Christmas!

No its not a lightener. If you highlight or color your hair and use this it helps make the hair lighter.

The color that I purchased did not bleach my hair. I normally use a Med Ash Blonde hair color. But the Dream Blonde gives you a nice medium blonde.

Not sure. My color is a deep brown with reddish auburn highlights. So far the Joico product seems to work for me as I alternate doing just new growth color one month and all of it the following.

Light Ash is good for hair color that is blond to a very light brown/dishwater blond. My husband was very blond as a child but his hair color darkend a bit as he got older. Light Ash works perfect for him and we only leave the color on for 5 minutes. Blends well with the gray and looks very natural and subtle.

Yes, and as my aunt always says (she's been a stylist for over 25 years), if you have darker hair, go 2 shades lighter than what you're looking for. The color on the box is what you'd get if you started with bleached hair. If your hair is brown, just be careful if you have roots that are a different color, you may end up with different shades of blonde that don't blend well. I'd probably also not recommend a warm blonde over dyed brown hair, as the result could come out brassy or orangey. Stick to cool, ash blondes, but know that it may take a couple times before you can really get your hair to lighten the way you want it to. Please note I am also speaking from experience (I've been dying my hair the gamut of colors for 15+ years), but am not a trained professional. I'm sure you will get more qualified answers, but I hope this helps a little...

It shouldn't hurt the brown tones, as it is only meant to remove coppery tones i.e. red and yellow, it didn't work for me at all but my hair was damaged already before i used it, personally the more expensive brands should work best

The answer is: it depends. What is your natural color hair? If it's light brown / medium blonde or lighter, this product will do a great job lightening your hair and will complement your highlights. If your natural hair is darker than that, this product will turn your hair a rusty reddish which may not be the look you're going for. I love this product because my hair is naturally light brown and I also have some grays. I used to get highlights and was spending A LOT of money getting professional highlights. Sun In easily did as good a job as my expensive highlights. I got so many compliments on my color that I now spend $6 a year on instead of $600 a year. My colorist tried to tell me this product is bad, blah blah blah. He just misses screwing me out of a lot if money. If I were you, I would "test" an inconspicuous area towards the end of your hair to see how it looks. If it looks bad, you can get a hair cut easily enough....

Hi there, No this will not lighten hair; the purple color of the shampoo counteracts the brassiness of most blonde shades of hair to give the hair an ashier appearance.

My hair color was almost dark brown (between dark blonde and dark brown), and I've been using for 5 months and I'm almost blonde now.. Sometimes it looks a little bit like red, but depends on the light. It will work, but I'm a little concerned about what color would turn, since the product says that dark hair will turn a little bit red and not blonde.
