Hey there,..

You probably might need a bit of a toner to tone down the harshness of the bleach.

If you think the colour is just too 'blockey' you can put some low-lights in your natural colour or just a slightly darker shade of blonde.

Speak to your stylist I'm sure they'd only be happy to help out.

how to do root touch hair streaking at home

Hey there,

Doing your own high-lights can get quite messy, and if it goes wrong you can get those dreaded 'leopard effect' scalp, which ends up being quite expensive to correct.

From my experience of people doing their own high-lights it rarely goes well,.... I would definitely leave it to the professionals|!

Hi

I've booked an appointment at my local hairdressers to have blonde highlights put in my hair, my natural hair colour is dark blonde.

I've never had highlights before and my hairdresser suggested using bleach but I'm really worried. I want the highlights to look naural and would prefer if I could choose the type of blonde I want. Do all highlights have to be done with bleach or is there another way?

My worst nightmare would be walking out with ginger or bright yellow hair!

Hi Megan,

Most high-lights are in-fact done with bleach.

However I would say you should sit with your stylist and go through what your desired result is.

If you just want to go slightly lightetr than your natural colour you mat be able to get away with high-lift blonde colour instead of a bleach.

If in the end you still opt for thye bleach high-lights, a toner at the end tends to give a more natural effect.
