Ash tones means that the color is cool. For example, Kate Hudson' and Lauren Conrad's hair is golden-blonde which is warmer, more gold and less ashy than Nicole Richy's. While Kate Winslet's hair is warmer than all of the above because it has redder tones in it. Often toners are used to make hair colors more ashy and thus cooler and less brassy or warm.

How do i get orange tones out of my hair I dyed it a dark ash colour but it faded and the orange was still there but darker?

Ashe colored hair dyes have a green base. If your hair has orange tones, applying the ash color will not cover the original color. Brassy colors of hair have to be dyed with blue base. One way to correct the issue, without over processing hair, is to add blue food coloring to your hair conditioner. Hair should be deeply conditioned before trying to change color again. When hair is ready to be colored again, use a blue based darker hair dye to acheive the results you are looking for.

I have dark brown hair and want natural highlights. What are some ways to get Aubourn or light brown natural highlights in my hair without using the sun or henna?

Hair dye. They make home highlighting kits that are, for the most part, reliable. You can buy them at most drug stores or supermarkets. Since you have dark hair, you will get the best results by using a demi-permanent or permanent dye, as opposed to a semi-permanent dye that will not be able to lift your dark color as well. Most colors will come in a warm, neutral, or ash tone. Neutral and ash tones are less likely to turn your hair orange.
