The finished highlights may appear to be quite bright and even a little yellow looking. However, it really does come down to personal preference. If you prefer a more toned down colour or ash blonde, try using a toner afterwards. Also, specialist silver shampoos and conditioners can help maintain that ashy look and banish any brassy appearance.

D.I.Y Hair Highlights: Bblonde Jerome Russell Highlighting Kit

Lightening formula: The actual dye, and sometimes even a darker dye if you're going for a reverse ombré I think this is a good product to use at home and I have been alternating between getting my highlights done at the Hair Salon and doing them myself at home when my roots arecomingthrough (theperennialproblem of highlighted hair!). I think that the very affordable price of this kit is a real plus, it is exceptional value for money and if you can’t afford to get your hair done professionally or don’t have the time to schedule in a trip to the hair salon when your roots arecomingthrough, this product is a great way to refresh your colour at home.

If your hair is on the fragile side, “use something ammonia-free and low peroxide,” advises Francesca Dixon, colour director at Hari’s Salon.“Ammonia-free has less chemicals so is less likely to cause as much breakage and low peroxide allows for a longer lift,” continues Dixon. All-over reflective glazes or color-enhancing masks that focus on condition are good alternatives.

If you had any of the issues from your DIY hair experience, I would always recommend waiting to see a professional to fix it," says Francesca. "If you have patchy hair color, have a root glow, or whatever your hair crisis may be, Hari's offers a full consultation (virtually or in salon) with your professional who will deal with the problem and advise and guide you. Don’t try and fix it yourself at home as you may make it worse, which could cause breakage. This product isrecommended to lift sections of hair to achieve natural looking highlights. The formulation is non-drip and designed for easy and precise application and to help condition and protect hair while you lighten.’ Highlighting Kit Contents Type of highlights: There are different types of looks to consider here—with traditional highlights, a money piece, balayage, and ombré the most popular—only a few brands offer a specialized highlighting kit, some are created with ombre or balayage in mind and modern box dyes can be used to create highlight-like multi-tonal shades within your hair.The Paul Mitchell Forever Blonde range is a good choice for blonde and highlighted hair and extra moisturising ingredients like Moroccan Argan Oil are beneficial. I like to use the hair oil and hair mask from Argan Dew for some deep-conditioning DIY hair care.

Balayage tends to be the lowest maintenance, so you can get away with it for a little bit longer, thankfully—most people have it twice or three times a year," explains Francesca. This brush method can also be used for creating an ombré look, which is "a shadow technique of coloring hair that gives hair a rooty effect going from dark to light effect from root to tip which gives a root effect," says Francesca. Full-on highlights are when fine streaks of color are distributed evenly in small sections throughout the hair, often separated by foils, and tend to come right up to the root—they can also be fine or chunky, depending on technique.If you usually opt for balayage when getting your hair colored in a salon, chances are your stylist will use a freehand brush technique and a board to paint your color in. This color technique is usually painted on freehand without the use of foils for a more natural look and often applied in larger sections, and blended through the natural hair color—so for an expertly blended finish, we'd opt for that technique if you want this look.
