Dying hair and adding highlights.?

Question

I want to redye my hair brown and then add blonde highlights. (I'm gonna do it myself) Should I dye my hair brown first then wait a couple days for the highlights or can I do it all in one night? What is a good hair dye for highlights. I have dark brown hair and I want really light highlights. Thanks

To the person(s) being rude. I am not stupid. I just want it to look good and a simple question is what i was asking.

To everyone else your answers helped. Thanks!

Answer 1

This is probably not something you want to do on your own. Call your local beauty school and ask to be a demo. This means that a teacher/instructor will do your hair in front of the class. Because it's a demo of the correct way to get your desired effect, you *know* it will come out right *and* it will be free! That's how I got my highlights done (full head). They look fabulous.

Hi, anytype of hair dye is bad for your hair even the one they use at the hairdressers. There all the same. As long as when you dye your hair yoou keep it in good condition, deep conditioning it with a hair mask and using heat protection spray and a leave in conditioner then your hair shouldnt suffer as much. Nice and Easy isnt for highlighting you hair I recommend Jerome Russels Bblonde, but then you have the problem of redoing your roots when your hair shows through which can be a problem as it was for me. But I woould only recommed Nice and Easy if you are going to go all one colour, these dyes go on quite dark no matter how light your hair is, So I recmmend Garnier Nutiresse, they light brown colours are nice and they last ages. And these tend to ccondition the hair as well as dyeing it.. Sometimes if you dye your hair and dont look after it with conditioners it can ruin the hair and it wont grow back. This was happening to me as I was dying my hair nearly every 2 weeks and my hair was weak and snapping off and wouldnt grow. I stopped dying it for a few months and once my hair had started growing again then the hair at the root was healthy, I now have long hair which I ve always wanted. The best thing to do is notndye it at all, If your hair is a dark Blonde like mine, Timotei blonde highlights is brilliant, and anything with camomile in is brilliant. You dont have to have highlights to use any product for blonde highlighted-light brown hair. This way your hair is in top condition and I suggest to you if you want to get highlights then go to the hairdressers save up the money, because I havent had problems my self the fist time I highlighted my hair but my mate have and now they dont like the colour there hair is. So leave it as it is and use the shampoos for your hair type and love the hair you have. Ive learnt from experiance and would wish it on anyone.

Personally that would look really stupid! first of all u need to choose a light brown hair dye waite about 3 days and then apply light blonde highlights thats the best look not dark and light there oppiste and dont look good at all unless your u know puck!

Answer 4

When I did mine by myself, I did the brown first, let it settle a few days - see what it looks like exactly and then you'll know what color highlights you want to add. Loreal Nice' N Easy is a great product.

Answer 5

If you want to do it by yourself and have a base and higlights that match then the best kit to buy is L'Oreal Couleur Experte.

Thats what I used and it came out great! the instructions and how-to tips really help!!

TIP- the best thing to do is visit the haircolour company's website and usually they have things like "the best colour for you" and you can see the options.

Check out L'Oreal's site:

Answer 6

Do it one color at one time ! Then wait 10 days do the other color. Then after 5 days apply the third color!


Have Fun! Be Careful Not to get it in your eyes it hurts !

Answer 7

at different nights you can't even wash your hair if you dye it for 3 days.
