For my base color, I chose to use 4NN (Natural Natural)

My inspiration for color and cut is pictured below. I liked
the idea of some highlights giving that ashy/gold tone to the
hair. For the cut, I went with a blunt bob, a few layers and a long
bang.

The completed look of highlight and cut. For the highlight,
I weaved and teased taking small/medium sections. I used
Matrix lightener with 20 volume. For a toner, I used equal parts
of Shades EQ 8N (Natural), 9GB (Gold Beige), and 9 (Natural
Beige), and a processing solution.
