Leave it to a professional, or you will end up paying much more to have it fixed!!!

@ashyrootz not really, this technique has worked for so many people!

[ashyrootz]

@llymlrs well, i beg to differ, considering i am a corrective color specialist... :~/ I see so many people screwing up their hair just because they are cheap...

[llymlrs]

@ashyrootz well to be honest, ive done this myself more than once and can think of dozens of people who have done it this way and its worked. i respect your professional opinion, but i wouldnt dismiss it for people who wanted to try this at home.

hi, i was just wondering...where I live you can puchase those highlighting creams in several different kinds..they will(or at least they should) make your hair 2,2-4,4-5,or even 4-6 shades lighter. I have really dark brown hair, but still i´m afraid that the 4-6 shades one will be too much..What would you recommend? :)

btw u r amazing!

@RebeccasLookBook i dont really know anything about dying hair to be honest so I wouldnt know, im sure theres someone on here that might be able to help you. but from my experiance just put one layer of the highligter on, then leave it for say 10-20 mins, then apply it again for 10-20 mins or whatever the reccomended time is till you get the desired shade, it take a long time but its easier to see how it goes that way

what blush do you use?

[ashyrootz]

@ErikaMeah Thats the point..its called "Ombre" color...look at any fashion mag, they all have this style

I have light brown hair, and already have some blonde highlights in my hair that are pretty subtle. Could I still make it lighter on the ends without it looking weird?
