Hair colors are evolving like a fashion statement, and people are often looking for ‘softer colors’ as well. If you want any light color, then you can start with a light base. You may then play from there to apply temporary colors on the strands to get the look you desire. If you want to get different shades of a specific color, then you can start with a deep version of any color and then as you wash it, you will get the lighter tones with every wash. The color usually gets lighter and lighter eventually giving you a pale natural look.
