L'Oreal home highlighting kit - anyone used one?

[paolosgirl]

I bought one today - money is a bit tight just now, so thought I'd save on my usual highlighting bill. Is it any good? Any tips?

[Blossomhill]

Oh no but I was thinking of buying one and my hairdresser (who is very good) said that he would recommend them if that's any help. Will watch this thread with interest.

My hair went orange. But then it was when it was first out and the L'Oreal representative advised me to apply it incorrectly. Tried to complain but neither boots or L'Oreal would accept responsibility. Maybe she was a bitter jobless hairdresser!!

[paolosgirl]

Flossam . What did you do that was incorrect?

[Blossomhill]

Oh well maybe not then!!!

[Flossam]

I think they told me to put the all over part of the product all over my hair for the whole developing time rather than just on my roots, which I should have done. Hence one orange head of hair. Have to admit I haven't been brave enough to try again since, but I'm sure you'll be fine as long as you follow the instructions properly!

they wouldn't be able to carry on selling it if everyone had the same as me would they? I'm sure you will look absolutely lovely!

My SIL did mine with red and it looks so cool. have had lots of comments from people sayng how fab it looks, basially did it underneath so it shines through, and my opinion was if it goes wrong I'll just dye it back!!

[paolosgirl]

I suppose if it goes very wrong, I can always go to the hairdresser and whack up the overdraft a bit!

if you can get s/one to help you, i think it'd be great. i gave up and starting seeing a professional.
