    Default home hair highlighting question

    Well I am cheap (broke, actaully) and I don't want to pay to have highlights done. I keep my hair about 1 shade brighter than my natural red (covering grey has become a major pastime for me). I want to add highlights to my latest dye job, but I don't know what to use or how to put it in. I use Loreal Ferria for my red color.

    Any suggestions?

    Feria is really hard to bleach over, because the dyes are metallic. Definitely do a strand test! I think Frost & Glow is the best.

    Loreal sells a product made for DYED hair!!! It's great, it's what i use when i get tired of the very dark hair i am sporting now.
    I think in the future i may by a box of it and do a few very light strands around the head.

    Can't remember the name of it right now, but it is light blonde, and says it is made for natural or colour treated hair! It's good stuff...and it will go over any colour if left in long enough, just keep checking those strands.....Especially the ones you streaked first.

    PS it's not a streaking kit.....But a bleach, and i use a cap or wide rimmed hat with poked holes in it. This is for the darker hair i don't want in contact with the bleach. Also when you have this stuff on you're strands, run a conditioner through the rest of the hair before rinsing, this way you wont get bleach on the other red hair you want to keep.

    Good luck!!
