im not looking to bleach/nuke it


would a semi permenant color work to lighten/create natural golden highlights


which brand would you recommend in the U.K please

marge is right. color does not remove color. semi permanents only deposit color they cannot lighten because they do not chemically change the hair, which means that they do not open the cuticle as permanent color does. you can however use a toner or semi permanent color to cancel out the brassyness in your hair. permanent colors will lighten the hair as they open the cuticle for the color to get in and out. hope this helps. as forcanceling out the brassy ness your stylist should be able to help, remember that you need something on the cool side of colors to cancel out the brassiness. adding a warm tone will only make it worse. cool colors are purple, blue, etc. toners are usually not that expensive the runanywhere form 20-30$ and make sure that you use color safe shampoos. anything with oils like jojoba oil, avocado oil ect. will strip the color from your hair. good luck!
Reply:NO, NO, NO! ONLY bleach will lighten hair, colours are only formulated for darkening hair, and bleaching won't "nuke" your hair as you put it, unless you are really inexperienced and use it incorrectly which i am guessing you are considering you think that colour will lighten colour, it's a very famous saying in my line of business - "colour will NOT lighten colour"
