Home highlights help

[Hairplan]

Can anyone advice what products I need to buy so I can attempt some blonde highlights on medium brown hair?
I’ll do a patch / strand test and I’m not too bothered if it goes wrong but I can’t seem to work out what product I need.
Thanks

First of all, don't do it! Have you got any colour in your hair at the moment?

Second you'll need; a bowl and colour brush, tinfoil in strips, bleach powder, peroxide (no more than 30 volume) and a toner.

When you're applying the bleach/peroxide mix do the mid lengths first then ends then roots last. Roots process quicker due to the heat from your head. Start at the back of your head too.

But honestly, you won't be able to do a good job of highlights yourself.

By 'not too bothered if it goes wrong' you need to accept the fact that your hair could fall out or turn a horrible orange shade. Best case scenario is that it will be yellows/orange tiger stripes badly placed on your head.
Sorry.

I did mine at home once. When I went back to the hairdresser she said I’d burned half my hair off (I had, the colour didn’t seem to lift so I left it on longer, big mistake) and she wasn’t impressed and didn’t know how my hair would take to my regular hair colour from her and warned me it may not be the usual colour.

It went fine though I’d never gone colour again.

Well I have been using a wella highlighting kit for over 30 years between salon visits, and it comes out fine, there is a YouTube blogger showing how to do it with the same kit, but she doesn't use the cap she puts it on selected pieces as I do, just Google wella highlighter kit. If you can't find it I will find out her name and let you know.

If it's any help, hairdressers here (NL) open from tomorrow (7 wks post lockdown), if you can hang in there...hold on or you may end up looking like a badger (I know...)

I have to say, highlights is a definite no go, if you get bleach on an already bleached bit, you risk severe breakage at those points. Also the technique the hairdressers use is not for a novice, certainly not on your own hair. If you were going all one colour, or bleaching without any prior bleach it would be much easier.

Thanks all. No current bleach on hair (altho been bleached before). I’ll have a second think!!
