The Key Word Is Subtle

The key word is subtle. Don't expect to go from mousy blonde to instant butter yellow with any of the blonde enhancing color shampoos. What they might do, depending on your actual natural color, is add subtle blonde lights that may enhance existing blonde 
The color depositing shampoo worked great at building a more obvious blonde highlight for my naturally dark blonde hair over extended use. It may not work that way for everyone.
When in doubt, ask your colorist or hairstylist for tips on the best way to use the color shampoos and conditioners.
The type of blonde highlights a color depositing shampoo might achieve for your hair will probably be the same color as Pamela Anderson's bleached blonde.
If you want white or super blonde, you're going to have to bite the bullet and do the bleaching ritual. Please go to a colorist who can get you the beautiful shade of platinum that is your heart's desire.
If I had a dollar for every email I get from a HairBoutique.com visitor with a botched bleach job which has gone orange, green, spotted or purple, I would be rich by now.

If you really are determined to try a natural dye, the following blonding formula is a recipe from the book Natural Beauty by Aldo Facetti. I have personally tried the formula and it does work by adding highlights.
Keep in mind I have naturally blonde hair, that is highlighted and I left the mixture on my hair, in an undiluted form for close to 3 hours. It is also extremely messy and will dye just about anything from white bathroom towels to tubs and sinks.
This recipe is not for the faint of heart and it needs to be undertaken with care and precaution.
If all this talk of mess and fuss has not already scared the jeepers out of you and you still want to try going blonde the natural way, here are the ingredients you need to buy before you start:
