What is the best way to add Blonde highlights to Dark brown hair?

Blond highlights are difficult to achieve on dark brown hair, but it is possible.

First you must understand how lightning works. The darker your hair, the longer it will take to lighten. Basically your hair is made of color molecules within the hair shaft. The darker the pigment the bigger the molecule and the lighter the hair the smaller the molecule is.

When lightning your hair, you are breaking up the molecules to make them smaller, therefor lightning your hair. When you are breaking down these molecules you will see your hair changing colors. Your dark brown will go red, then orange, and then finally blond (yellow). Most often people do not wait long enough for this process to be complete (this is were brassy blonds come in ).

In most cases the "BEST" way isn't always the easiest or quickest way.

If this is a question of foils vs cap, then definately go with foils..With both methods you will need a good bleach and a high level peroxide!!

The easiest thing to do is purchase a colouring cap. The kind with little holes all over it. pull through several strands of hair speratically around the cap. These are the spots you want to highlight.

Apply the bleach/peroxide mixture evenly with a colouring brush . It is important to follow the directions on the bleach bottle since some bleaches mix differently with peroxide depending on brand and volume designation.

Chances are, you are asking because your hair is probably turning orange or brassy when you attempt it. Remember, the process takes longer than you think. Keep checking until 40 min has passed. if you did not get the results at that time, wash it out. The peroxide has lost its effectivenes by then. attempt again if you wish.

You may even need to follow up with a second application to achieve the color you want. My best advice would be to see a professional because they can use different levels of peroxide to achieve the color you want without challenging the integrity of your hair.
