I have a question about doing my own highlights.?

Question

I heard from sallys there is stuff to use for highlights. I want more highlights im already blonde but i dont have alot of money so how much would it cost to buy things for highlights and what would you have to buy from sallys hair supply?

Answer 1

The least expensive way is to use fresh lemon juice. A lemon costs less than a dollar at the grocery. (Don't use the bottled stuff, it has extras you don't need like water and preservatives.)

Another way is to get a bottle of hydrogen peroxide from the drugstore. It costs less than $3. Mix it in a bowl with some conditioner to make it thick if you like. Paint it on, wait 1 hour (more or less depending on the color you want), rinse with cool water. Condition and rinse again.



Great advice for applying any type of color yourself can be found here...

If you decide to DIY with a Sally's box kit, do a protein deep treatment a few days before the highlights.

Also you will need a pH correcting treatment for after the highlights.

A pH balanced moisturizing shampoo that is color safe. No sulfates.

A moisturizing hair mask that is color safe.

And a deep conditioning treatment that you use once every week religiously.



Best wishes.

you can easily get highlighting kits from drugstores, or retail stores. you just have to look for which highlights are right for your shade and length of hair. :) hope i helped. :)

u need foils or you can use the cap and it comes with a little hook & u pull pieces of hair threw the cap (doesnt hurt).. and you need 20volume peroxide. its about 4$ depeds on size of bottle..and if you go in the store they also tell you wat u need ..shouldnt be any more than 15$

Answer 4

dont do your own highlights... it will end up costing you more to get your hair fixed when you end up doing it wrong and messing up your whole face.
