This is what your dirty blonde hair will end up looking like. Looks like a pro did it, don't you think?
I did my hair roots a week ago, and yesterday I did a highlight to my hair. I did not leave it in long enough on my root area and it is brassy. I would like to re-do my roots with a 9NC, last week I did it with a 7NN and 6NN.
My question is how long do I have to wait to re-do my root area with the 9NC?Can I pull my hair thru a cap and use Revlon Colorsilk to highlight my hair?
How much of the hair dye do I need to use just for hair highlights? My hair is short.
I have some highlights that are just so beautiful, but it isn't that blinding (glowing, popping, etc.) as I wanted it to be. Any tips to make my highlight pop?
There are many hair highlighting kits that are designed to be done in the comfort of your own home. This is a page about home hair highlighting kits.
I had my hair dyed today, brown with blonde highlights, but it don't have enough highlights like I asked for. So how long should I wait before I can have more highlights put in?
I just recently dyed my hair a dark brown. I like the color, but I'm wanting some kind of highlight. I don't want blonde. I like the dark brown with light brown highlights, but how could I get that look?
Would I use bleach? Or just get a light brown hair color dye and use that?I did color with highlights that came out too light. I would like more gold. What can I do because the highlights are too light?
I dyed my hair light brown on Monday. Is it okay to add a highlights after 2 days? I'm going to use a boxed highlights as well.
Is it okay to use, say, red hair dye with a highlighting cap? Or is it too thin to keep from going into the holes? Since I have a spare highlighting cap laying around and I don't really want to spend the money to go get my hair dyed I thought I would do it myself.
I want to have reverse highlights in a warm brown on my white hair. My hair has recently been permed with a very mild perm that cannot overprocess. Would this be a problem?

Can I use a bonnet-type hair dryer to accelerate the bleach when I use foil for my streaks? I have been using foil and streaking my hair for years, but I sat under a portable hair dryer. I am in need of purchasing another heating unit for streaking with foil and would sincerely appreciate a professional's insight. I do not want to melt the cap on my head. I have to use a high setting when I use the foil strips.

I have dark blonde/light brown hair now. I want to do some color highlights with foil, but my household water comes from a well. Is there something I can do to assure it won't affect the outcome of the coloring?

My daughter has dyed her hair black. She wants to highlight it with blonde streaks. Can she use 40 oxidizing emulsion cream with peroxide in it?
Thanks.
Hello! Your daughters hair needs to fade a little bit. Waite 2 weeks before you do any highlights. Yes she can use the 40 oxidizing emulsion cream with peroxide in it? But let me make a suggestion. Dont use a bleach. Use a hair color. It will be better for your hair. I have been coloring my hair for over 15 years. So I have learned through trial and error!
Does anybody know of a cheap and easy way to do your own 'longterm highlights' that's wont damage my hair? And does anybody have a price range from salons that highlight long hair?
I have light brownish hair - originally more strawberry blonde, and I put in highlights with ordinary hydrogen peroxide applied to dirty hair with cotton balls, left on for 10 minutes, and then using a combination of red/blonde shampoo (also left on 20 mins) and conditioner. The highlights come in gradually, I touch up only at the hairline/part, around my face, as the hair grows out, sparing the ends.
I want to highlight my hair at home, but I have very jet black hair. Should I use hair bleach before hair highlight for better result? Can you please tell me the procedure of bleaching before highlighting?
Hi, just for the record I have been a hairdresser for 36 years. There is no easy way to highlight black hair. You can of course, but it usually doesn't look "great". If you decide to go ahead get it done professionally! Find a beauty school if possible and ask for an advanced student! In the long run you will not save much by doing it yourself as the products you will buy will not be equal to the professional products.
If you just want to jazz it up, you could use the cellophane color washes for dark hair. The burgundy color is nice, I have seen a lot of oriental hair with auburn streaks (from peroxide) which can be a nice look if that's what you are after.
