Diy Hair Highlights

DIY hair highlights are a great way to add brightness and dimension to your hair without breaking the bank. With a few simple tools and supplies, you can achieve professional-looking results at home.

To DIY hair highlights, you will need:

• A highlighting kit (this will include bleach, developer, and a highlighting cap)
• A non-metallic bowl and brush
• Gloves
• A cape or old towel to protect your clothes
• A tail comb
• Foil

Instructions:

1. Put on the highlighting cap and pull thin sections of hair through the holes.
2. Mix the bleach and developer according to the instructions on the highlighting kit.
3. Using the brush, apply the bleach mixture to the highlighted sections of hair.
4. Fold the foil over the highlighted sections of hair to keep them separate from the rest of your hair.
5. Process the bleach for the amount of time specified on the kit instructions.
6. Rinse the bleach out of your hair thoroughly and shampoo and condition as usual.

Tips for DIY hair highlights:

• Always do a patch test before applying bleach to your entire head of hair. This will help you avoid any allergic reactions.
• Start with a low volume of developer and increase it gradually if needed.
• Don’t over-process the bleach, or you could damage your hair.
• If you have dark hair, you may need to bleach it more than once to achieve the desired results.
• Use a toner after bleaching your hair to neutralize any brassy tones.

Variations:

• For a more natural look, you can weave the highlighted sections of hair in and out of the rest of your hair before applying the bleach.
• You can also use different techniques to create different effects, such as balayage or ombre highlights.
• If you have short hair, you can use a highlighting comb instead of a cap.

Safety:

• Bleach is a strong chemical, so be sure to follow the instructions on the kit carefully and wear gloves and a cape to protect your skin and clothes.
• Do not apply bleach to damaged or irritated hair.
• If you experience any discomfort while bleaching your hair, rinse the bleach out immediately.
