After determining your true color, you view photos of celebrities with various hair colors and decide which one you desire. I settled upon Mary-Kate Olsen's color, which was sort of honey-colored with little ribbons of delicate blonde highlights.
Following the instructions for my tab, I bought a box of hair dye in the color Light Golden Blonde, as well as a box of Clairol's highlighting kit (see pictures below). For the hair dye, I went with the same company that I've modeled for, Preference by L'oreal. As you can see from my boxes, my natural hair color is close to chocolate brown, and the color the haircolor recipe uses is light golden blonde---an extremely blonde-colored hair box. I was terribly worried that by using the blonde color they called for, my hair would turn out orange, but I have to say that it came out quite lovely---surprisingly, it is not the light blonde color depicted on the box, but the amber honey color that I was trying to achieve. My sister, Erin, helped me to color it and did a nice job. I'll see if I can find some pictures from this weekend that show my new and improved hair color (although my favorite on me is still brunette.)

The two blondes are the hair color boxes that I used to achieve my new look.
And now, without further adieu, here is the result of my do-it-yourself (with help of my sister) hair color job:
