For years now i have been doing my own highlights, because i don't trust getting them done by anyone else apart from myself!! And alhamdulilah they turn out very professionally done...I recently highlighted my hair with a mix of ombre and i love it!!!
So this is my brief guide to doing it yourself!
Step one: Brush your hair until it is tangle free, next make sure your hair is moistursed before applying the bleach as this can cause the hair to break! Therefore i recommend applying Olive oil or Argan oil.
Step 2: Apply the streaking cap onto your head and use the streaking picker to pick up the hairs from your head.
Step 3: Once all the hairs are picked out apply Wella hair streaking bleach onto the hair, after doing this allow your hair to dry for 45mins to an hour.
Step 4: Leave the cap on and wash your head, you don't want to take the cap of as this will cause breakage to the hair!
Ok, so if you naturally have darker hair your hair will turn out orange with some hints of blonde at the roots! Don't panic! This is part of the process and your hair now needs and ASH or a COOL tone to take away the brassiness (Please allow at least 1 week or more for your scalp to calm down before using the dye)
......1-2 weeks later......
Next apply Clairol Perfect 10 ASH or COOL brown onto the hair an leave for 15mins, as soon as you see the brassiness has gone quickly wash your hair otherwise your highlights will be gone!
And there you have it salon professional highlights done at home for 80% less!! NOW THAT IS WHAT I CALL A SAVING...So give it a go and let me know how you get on.....
My next blog post will be highlight after care so watch this space....
