Go ahead and paint on the color staying about an 1/4 inch away from your scalp. As you can tell from the picture, even my slice wasn't perfectly straight but still managed to turnout okay. I took an 1/8 inch "slice" through the section and slid a piece of foil under it with the folded edge against my scalp. There are four basic types of highlights: foil highlights, hair painting, frosting, and chunking. I used only 8 foils and it looks like I have a lot more in there. Hair highlighting/lowlighting is changing a persons hair color, using lightener or haircolor to lift the level or brightness of hair strands. I chose to slice because this will give you the most color per swipe, make it easier to find and touch-up later and requires fewer foils for more dramatic results. Use your clips to keep the rest of your hair out of the way.Īll my slices are on the diagonal. Mine get parted to the side so my first foil with be on the "heavy" side of my bangs. Keep in mind the way your bangs will lay. Step Four: Section off the front part of your hair. Step Three: Protect your clothing with a T-shirt you don't mind ruining. You'll need a rat tail comb (I prefer the ones with metal "tails"), a bowl and brush for your color, a mirror so you can see what you're doing, a slightly damp towel for cleaning up your fingers and any other mess, lots of clips to keep hair out of the way, and foil.Ĭut the foil into strips and fold over the short end about a 1/4 inch 3-4 times so you have a more rigid edge. I want to keep my hair on the healthy side so I stuck with regular hair color. If I wanted something more neutral I could have bleached it first then applied the desired color as a toner. The little bit of ash took down the red just a notch and I love what I'm left with. I knew that would happen and I'm fine with it. Since all dark hair contains a ton of red, the red in my hair overpowered the ash in the color and the color still turned out very warm. Please use common sense.īelieve it or not, I used a light ash brown with 40 volume developer. You will fry your hair and it will break right off. Color does not lighten color.Īnother caution - do NOT bleach over bleached hair. If you have ANY color on your hair (semi-permanent included) even if it was several months ago, color alone will not lighten it. That means I can use color or bleach depending on what I want. My hair is virgin other than the highlights I'm touching up. *Attempt this at your own risk! I am not responsible for any damage you do to your own hair! Perhaps you could have someone assist you. If my hair was long, it would hang in my face and I wouldn't be able to see what I was doing! So let that be a warning to everyone who has long hair. To be completely honest, it's pretty easy since my hair is so short. Today I thought I'd show everyone how I highlight my own hair.
