Reasons to Get a Hair Highlighting at Home
Instead of the professional assitance, you can always create your own hair highlight at home. Here are the reasons:
- Because getting a salon highlight can be expensive and hard to work into a busy schedule, many people are choosing to use DIY home kits.
- With the many choices available, it is important to choose a kit that is easy to use and produces good results.
- High lighting, low lighting, and refinishing toners for currently highlighted hair are all available in several formulas, depending on your current color.
- It also offers a precision brush for control, and how-to videos online. Many other brands offer similar options.
To pick the best color, follow these simple guidelines:
- Pink-toned people should avoid red shades
- Yellow-toned people may want to stay away from yellows or orange based colors
- Olive-toned people may want to go darker and use low lights
Some more tips on home hair highlighting:
- Always do an allergy test before dying your hair. Even if you have used the brand before, an allergy may have developed.
-
Instead of using the gloves provided, you may want to purchase your own better fitting gloves.
- Unless the directions state otherwise, apply color to dry, unwashed hair.
- Hair highlights should go on the top layer for the best visibility. However, if you change your part or switch styles frequently, consider doing a layer or two below that to keep from looking unbalanced.
- Highlight from back to front, so you do not drag your arm through the colorant.
- Asking a friend to help with coloring can produce better results, as she or he can help with the back.
- When in doubt, leave the color on for less time instead of more.
