So true! I used to have the problem with the brassy orange when lightening my hair, but then I learned to use the "cooler" shades and haven't had a problem since. It has taken me quite a few years to get it right, but I think I finally have. I have had a few mishaps, one including turing my hair swamp green. Hint--don't keep coloring your hair (in one day) if you don't get the color just right. It ended up costing me $$$ to get it fixed.
I have also used the at-home highlighting kits. It was much easier than I thought it would be. Sometimes I feel like I should just go gray gracefully, but it just makes me feel old. I started to get gray strands at 19 and it has been downhill since!
