How to do highlights at home using a cheap bottle of hair dye?

I bought a bottle of $3 hairdye, not designed for highlighting, then took out random pieces of hair and put the color on it.

Will that work??

Any suggestions on how to do this?

It should,

You could put a Wal-mart bag on your head (not your face) and then pull little bits of hair out and do it that way.

not sure what you are trying to achieve or what your hair color is but if you hair is dark and you don't want red high lights, be careful. My friend bought cheap hair dye and ended up looking like ronald mcdonald. I use to make my hair blonder and dyed it myself but it turned green. just be careful

I do it all the time and it works fine. Pull out the pieces you want to highlight and apply the dye. Wrap them in foil. I have my daughter do the back when she is here. If she's not I pick a piece from both sides closest to the back to where I can still see what I'm doing. I've never had it go wrong yet. On the top, I do both sides at the same time so that they line up and are even.If you are doing underneath, you need to do that first. Pull the top of your hair on top of your head with a large clip while you do underneath. I've been doing my hair this way,for years and years. I almost never go out, that someone doesn't just randomly come up and tell me that I have beautiful hair. If you lived here, I'd show you how. Don't be afraid to try. I use the cheap Revlon Colorsilk. I used to use Preference and the Revlon works just as good. I just miss the little tube of conditioner that you get with the Preference.Good luck!

P.S. I see you are expecting. You will know when you feel like your having menstruel cramps times a million. Congratulations!

Hi!

I would advice you to go on a hair salon...

It is way better, there is a high possibility that it will fail.

My friend once tried to get some hazel ones with another cheap bottle...It was dark hazel... Do you know how it turned?WHITE, ALL WHITE! She hadn't done it right!

She needed to go to a hairsalon, where they tried to make her hair even darker, but was in great danger of dry and destroy her hair,with so much dyings... It turned to blonde.Her colour was brown, but a comprexion that looked soooooooo bad in combination with blonde!

Now she is forced to circle this way and I don't think it is a very nice image...

Just a warning...Hope I helped you! ;)

How to do highlights at home using a cheap bottle of hair dye?

1. Perform highlights on completely dry hair. If at all possible, try to highlight your hair on a day that you haven閳ユ獩 washed it. The natural oils of your hair will help protect your strands during the coloring process.

2. SixHighlighting your hair in either a bathroom or kitchen is best. Remove anything in the area you閳ユ獟l be using that may be ruined should it come in contact with some of the color solution.

3. SevenPut on an old shirt that you won閳ユ獩 be worried about ruining. Also, have some old towels on hand to wrap around your shoulders and protect counter tops.

4. EightBrush hair thoroughly to remove all tangles. If you have long hair be sure to brush your hair into the style you usually wear it in. This will ensure you place your highlights right where they閳ユ獟l make the most impact.

5. NineOpen the highlighting kit and read the instructions from start to finish before beginning. Make sure to read any cautions or recommendations. You閳ユ獟l also want to note any toll free help line numbers on the box, just in case you hit a snag in your hair highlighting endeavor.

6. TenDrape your shoulders with one of the old towels and secure with a hair clip. This will help catch drips.

7. Place the hair highlighting cap on your head and pull it down so it sits snugly on the head. Tie the strings tightly but so you are still comfortable.

8. Twelve Grasp the hook included in the kit as you would a pencil. Starting as close to your front hairline as possible, carefully puncture the designated holes of the cap with the hook. For the best results have the hook come in at a slight angle.

9. If you want thin hair highlights that will enhance your color but generally blend in, only pull out thin sections of hair from the punctured hole. This is best achieved by not letting the hook penetrate your hair too deeply once the cap has been punctured. For thicker and bolder highlights pull larger sections out by going deeper into your hair.

10. Continue to carefully pull out the desired amount of strands until you satisfied. You may want to pull out sections only in the front for a subtle lift around the face or all over for a lighter effect throughout.

11. Once all the hair is pulled through the cap put on your protective gloves and mix the coloring agents according to the directions. Be sure to shake the bottle well before applying to the hair.

12.Coat all the pulled out sections thoroughly with the color and use your fingers in a lathering motion to be sure no hair is missed.

13. Set timer for the designated processing time, according to the kit閳ユ獨 directions and place a plastic loosely over highlights to keep the heat of your scalp intact. This heat will help the color process faster.

14. Once the time is up, use a towel to gently remove the color from one or two of the strands. Grab a section of the towel in both hands and place the hair between your hands. Rub back and forth in a gently scrubbing motion until the strands are mostly free of color. Check to see that the color is close to what you wanted. Remember, your hair is still damp from the color so it will dry slightly lighter than it appears now.

15.Once the color is done remove the cap and rinse your hair thoroughly. If possible, avoid shampooing your hair to remove the color as the cuticle, or outer layer, of the hair is still slightly open. Washing may prematurely remove or fade your new hair highlights. Instead rinse very well and apply a conditioner to seal the cuticle and moisturize the hair shaft.

16.Towel dry hair and use a blow drier to dry your hair. This will allow you to check out those new highlights in all their glory. If any problems are apparent call the toll free number and speak to a professional.

take a piece of foil and place it under your hair, then spread on the dye, and fold the foil around the rest of your hair. that way it will stay on the hair you want it to, that's what i do.
