How hard is it to highlight your own hair?

I thought about buying a home hair highlighting kit so I can put some streaks of color in my hair without spending too much at a salon. Is this a good idea? And is there anything I should know before I do it?

How hard is it to highlight your own hair?

Yes its hard to do on your self if you have never done it before. I always recommend for new people do use a highlighting cap to do there highlights that way they are less likely to have tiger spots and bleed spots. Honestly I recommend you go to a salon to get it done. If you don't want to spend a lot of money go to a hair school near by you because those girls and guys actually know what they are doing and have instructors supervising them. I don't think you should do it your self. Walmart's hair salon has good prices too. Good luck. Hope I helped. Please add me to your contacts and email me w/ any hair questions you have via yahoo answers.

just that the kits you buy in the store or horribly made! Find someone who has a license and have them buy professional products and see if they'll do it at your house or their's.

If you decide to do it anyway, just buy a streaking tool, or get one that has one in it. It's farily easy to do

I have had beautiful highlights from salons.

I also had a horrible experience at a high-end salon. Someone must have been having a bad day. My hair turned out bold striped orange and black! I had to go back for a correction and it got very damaged bc of all of that. Don't assume a fancy salon will always do the best job.

My daughter does her own with a Revlon kit and when she came to visit last summer, I thought she had a pro do it. It was beautiful. It just depends upon your skill level.
