Have you ever highlighted your hair at home? What happened?

How did it turn out? Did it look good or horrible? What color was your hair and what color highlight did you use?





thanks! Have you ever highlighted your hair at home? What happened?
NOOOOO!


i did mine with garnier nutrisse highlights in number 6, dark blonde.


the box said it was RECOMMENDED for light brown hair, which is what i have.





it turned my hair neon orange!


i had to go for an emergency appointment at the salon,


they had to dye black over it just to get the orange out.


and now i have ugly hair.





go natural. use peroxide, use lemon juice. go to the salon.


anything but a box dye!Have you ever highlighted your hair at home? What happened?
I highlighted at home a few times, none of it was completely horrible, I got the color I wanted about 50% of the time. My hair was a deep red and I was going for platinum. I tried the 'Born Blond'





It didn't work so well, most of the time I had to use two boxes because my hair was dark. Other times it would come out really yellow and brassy so I would have to go to Sally's for toner.
I have tried this with both short hair and long hair. With short hair, you can use a cap and pull it through. This worked really well for me and I loved it.





When I had long hair and tried it, I couldn't use the cap and pull hair through so I had to ';freestyle'; it. It was a mess! The dye was touching hair it wasn't supposed to, and turned the top half of my hair neon platinum blonde leaving the underside brown. Plus, I had spotches on the brown part as well. I ended up having to go to the salon and pay $200 to get it fixed. Crazy!





I would say you are safer to do this if you have short hair rather than long hair.








Both times I had medium brown hair at the time and was putting blonde highlights in it. However, this was several years ago so I don't remember the brand I used.
O lord, I did this once. It turned out horrible. I have a lot of hair and it's so thick and like in the middle of the process we ran out of dye, so mom had to run to walmart to get more dye. So one half of my hair had the dye on it for longer. My hair is brown, and I tried to put blonde highlights...but it looked orange.
my hair was dark blonde and i highlighted it bright blonde.


it looked really good :]





i use live color xxl now, to do my whole head.
all the time i use chunky i get it at walmart works great and make sure you have a cap an it takes along time an alot of patients pull all the hair out highlite after
