Jerome Russell Bblonde Highlighting Kit, Permanent Lightener, Permanent Blonde Bleach Hair Dye, Professional Results, With Avocado Oil, Lifts 8-9 levels – Highlighting Kit No 1

Product Information

To ensure you're getting the right product for your desired end look, it’s important to choose an at-home color kit specifically formulated for highlights and in a shade labeled for your current hair color (i.e. "for light brown hair") rather than the color you want to achieve. “Choose a kit that's only one shade lighter than your base color,” according to celebrity colorist Rita Hazan in an interview with Glamour. Inside the box you get a directions leaflet, an applicator bottle, the colourant, nozzle to attach to the bottle for precise application, a pair of hair dye gloves and a generous bottle of conditioner that is enough to last for more than one wash, as well as a highlighting cap and needle!

And even though you miiight be tempted to grab some aluminum foil from your kitchen, don’t—it’s way too risky for at-home highlights, says O’Connor, since it speeds up the lightening process and can actually cause your hair to go too light (leading to tons of breakage down the road…yay). Instead, rip up a few cotton balls or squares to place on top of your highlights. Not only will this help isolate your bleached strands from the rest of your hair, but the cotton will also keep the bleach active without drying out. Step 2: Follow the instructions carefully Ingredients List: Many at-home highlighting kits use peroxide to bleach the hair, so if you have a sensitive scalp, be sure to choose a kit that is peroxide-free and dermatologist-tested. Use kits that come with gentle and nourishing ingredients like walnut oil and argan oil that cater to your hair’s shine and smoothness. Some other natural ingredients in at-home highlighting kits for gentle hair care include avocado oil and aloe vera. If you’re just looking to touch up your roots, then one thing to remember is to only dye your regrowth rather than the whole head to avoid causing damage. There are few different methods you could try out to apply your highlights, so we've explained each one to get you going with your color application.

The formula blends with the tones already in your hair to give you a natural-looking result that looks consistent. High Lift Powder Bleach: Potassium Persulfate, Sodium Metasilicate, Ammonium Persulfate, Sodium Stearate, Paraffinum Liquidum (Mineral Oil), Cyamopsis Tetragonoloba (Guar) Gum, Solanum Tuberosum (Potato) Starch, Silica, Sodium Persulfate, EDTA, CI 77007 Hair health: If there's one thing we all want, it's hair health. 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. Semi-permanent vs permanent:“Many clients are keen to experiment with semi-permanent color as it allows you to try different shades without the commitment of a permanent color,” says Sam Acott, master colourist at Josh Wood. Unlike permanent hair dye, semi-permanent is non-damaging and doesn’t contain ammonia or peroxide. “It’s worth noting, however, that semi-permanent color adds tone, color and shine—but is unable to lift hair lighter,” adds Acott. So, if your hair is naturally dark and you want highlights, a permanent product will work best. Protect your skin and clothes– wrap a protective shawl or an old towel around your shoulders to protect your clothes from any stray dye.

So if you really know what you’re doing, or you're happy to give it a go, use foils like some hairstylists do, as they help give the closest finish to what you would get in a salon. You can also look for a product that's meant to hydrate hair, like Garnier Multi Lights H2 Golden Blonde, which contains avocado, olive, and shea oils and a post-coloring conditioning treatment. We also love the Madison Reed Light Works, for its nourishing formula that's ammonia-free. This BBlonde Highlighting Kit Number 2 by Jerome Russell is a great highlighting kit for those who have blonde to light brown hair, any darker than that it most likely won’t lift the colour and leave you with ginger highlights rather than blonde. Some reviewers have said that this kit does not work on dark hair that has been dyed this way, it works better on dark, virgin hair

Best With A Toner: L'Oreal Paris Frost & Design Hi-Precision Pull-Through Cap Highlights For Longer Hair – H85 Champagne It contains all the essentials you need to highlight your hair (the same as in the previous kit) and reviewers have stated that the colour lasts a while, it doesn’t fade after a few washes like some at home kits can do.

Then, you can use the highlighting kit on the hair that has been pulled through the cap to give you even and perfectly separated highlights. Whether you want a new sun-kissed looking do, or lighter highlights to frame certain parts of your face, this kit is easy to use. It comes with a highlighting cap to separate your hair, a highlighting needle and a small brush applicator too. Note that some reviewers mention that the color doesn’t exactly match the box, so you may want to do a small test on an inconspicuous chunk of hair before highlighting your whole head. Reviewers have commented that they are surprised at the quality of this kit, and that they’ve used it multiple times, even the gloves, and everything is still going strong! Pros: All you have to do to cover your roots is to mix the colourant into the developer and give it a good shake to mix it together, then use the expert precision brush to saturate your roots with the colour.What's more, this cruelty-free deep conditioner gives color-treated hair the moisture it needs for renewed elasticity and shine, and it's a favorite of one Allure editor, who credited it with restoring her processed platinum blonde hair to silky-soft strands. Byrdie loves this mask for repairing damaged hair, too. The kit is easy to use, with instructions on how to mix and apply the colour and leaves a natural looking result. If you’re not keen on using a highlighting cap, or have a sensitive scalp, then I’d recommend using aluminum foil instead. 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.
