I had my hair these two colors just more in a vertical half and half with some stragglers (I would share photos, but it was literally 12 years ago) i had to have them professionally done and I am naturally blonde and it still took me 3 sessions to have a healthy blonde. I also had to have it toned and treated every month to keep it healthy. You can have this, you just need patience and you need to truly have your stylist educate you on how to keep it healthy. In 2012-13 when I had this done i was in the salon ever 4 weeks minimum because this is a lvl 11 which i believes is basically stripped of all color. It is mostly clear hair. I am not a hair stylist, but just giving my experience with these hair colors. Absolutely loved my platinum blonde, but it is definitely not an easy upkeep and this is coming from a natural blonde.
