#Diy highlight brush how to#
I have been so excited to show you how to highlight your hair from your own home.
Everything I have ever done started with the Google search bar. I’m self-taught with photography, cooking & baking, I made a fondant wedding cake and, y’all, it was 3 tiers and SO much fun, painted all the furniture in my last home, learning design, learning social media, learning blogging, etc. And when we have SO MUCH INFORMATION at our fingertips because the internet makes knowledge incredibly accessible, I knew we could learn to do almost anything. And more importantly, I didn’t want to afford it because I always came home a bit disappointed with the color. Spending $150 on highlighting my hair every 6-8 weeks was definitely not in the budget. I certainly wasn’t going to spend more than $5 on a can of hair spray. I didn’t buy the best shampoo & conditioner. In all transparency, we were a broke grad- student family diving into years of student loans. We YouTubed a few videos and tried to write down any relevant notes before we took the plunge. Does he have any training with hair? None. My husband Aaron has been highlighting my hair using this foil weave technique for almost 8 years! We’ll call it the Crossley Highlighting Tutorial because we have NO idea if this is how hair is done in legit salons, haha. If you have any questions, please drop them in the comments below. "Leave it down until the timer rings." Get yourself a hair coloring gown ( Amazon has four packs for under $20) so that you have something you don't mind getting a little bit of dye on - you definitely don't want to mess up any clothes you actually care about in the process.After a TON of requests over the past few months to share a DIY Hair Highlighting tutorial on my Instagram stories– Here’s a detailed guide AND video on how to highlight your own hair at home!
"The color won't be even when you rinse it out," says Ionato. You know how the models in the commercial always have their dye-coated hair artfully twisted up into a bun? Don't do that. "It dilutes the dye but still gives you a pinch of color and shine," says Louis Licari of the Louis Licari Salon in New York City. Shake it up and apply the mixture to your ends. Instead, three minutes before you're supposed to rinse, add two squirts of shampoo into the dye left in the bottle. If your ends are very dry and you're dyeing your entire head, don't put dye on your ends. "People can miss spots, or don't know how to get the back." To prevent this, use clips to create four sections and work through them front to back. "Be organized about the application," says Brooke Jordan, head stylist with The Bird House salon in NYC. To avoid patchiness, create a middle part that runs to the back of your head and split the hair into four sections - two in front of the ears and two in back. It may mean working strand by strand, adds Robinson, who suggests using an eye shadow brush for extra precision. "If you have a gray headband along your hairline, get a semipermanent dye and only color that area," says colorist Rita Hazan, the founder of Rita Hazan Salon in New York City. If you're targeting grays, you don't have to dye your whole head. "It's safer to choose a color that's a bit lighter from the get-go." "Semipermanent formulas don't have a developer, meaning they get darker and darker the longer you leave them in your hair," says Ionato. With semipermanent dye, however, err on the lighter side of the color you're looking to achieve. The rule is as follows: For permanent dye, choose a color a smidge darker than what you want because of the strong developer, says Ionato. "The developer in at-home permanent dyes is very strong - stronger than the ones we use in the salon - so it lifts the color and makes it lighter than what you see on the box." Instead, look at the little swatch at the top of the box - it's a better representation of how the hue will actually look on your hair. "The color always ends up lighter than the model's hair on the packaging," says colorist Dana Ionato of the Sally Hershberger Downtown salon in New York City. Sure, the woman smiling on the front of the box looks beautiful, but the color of her hair is a fantasy. Don't trust the model on the box of hair dye Now, get into the best insider at-home hair-color tricks and tips for achieving salon-worthy results. The three keys to success?
