Best DIY blonde hair dye...

[Gruffalump]

I used to have a full set of highlights at thr hairdresser, but due to recent mega expenditure can not currently afford it. I dyed my hair with a l'oreal kit which hasn't come up nearly as light as I would have liked, or indeed as light as the rest of my hair.

My roots are beginning to come back through and I would like to delay the hairdresser for another couple of months.

Can anyone recommend a decent at home dye? I am not afraid of using something quite strong/light and also have a hairdressers wholesalers near by, so could pick something up from there.

Help me avoid crazy multicoloured hair any further! :)

Jerome Russell Blonde highlighting kit.

I use a warm honey blond loreal colour and then after I hand draw on highlights , so I have a nice natural colour. I put more highlights around the front as its more flattering.

How do you apply a highlighting kit then?

How do you hand draw highlights on?

I've been using this: kit.

I started for the same reasons as yourself and although it's a bit time consuming to pull your hair through the cap, the results are brilliant. It takes 20 mins to turn my dark mouse hair into light golden blonde.

I use a medium highlight kit, mix it up then using the brush provided I just literally draw the bleach where I want my highlights. More natural than the cap method I find and it gets closer to the roots too.

Milly, how do you do the underneath bits without it all sticking together and bleeding onto bits you don't want it to?

I use a warm honey blond dye by Loreal first to lighten hair to........warm honey blond lol....then I use the Loreal highlight kit linked ti by someone else. As nt hair is already now a lighter blond shade I just draw on the highlights where I want them. If it touches somewhere I don't want I either remove it with baby wipe or leave it as it doesn't matter with my hair colour anyway. I don't bother with the underneath as I'm after a natural effect as if the Sun has done it.
