What is the process for highlighting dark hair?

Answer by  Penny16 (106)

Your hair is sectioned, and bleach or pre-lightener is applied and secured using foils. Once the hair is lightened, sometimes a toning color is applied to give you the desired color.

One method for highlighting dark hair uses a "foil" technique. It involves a professional colorist taking minute strands of hair, placing it on a small piece of foil, brushing it with a bleach solution and wrapping it up to process. The "foils" will be checked periodically to see when the proper amount of pigment has been removed from the hair.

Normally, if you are going to a salon to get your hair highlighted, the colorist will mix the appropriate dye color. Then, they will use a brush to paint it into sections of your hair and cover it with foil. You may or may not sit under a dryer.

Go to a beauty supply store and get a packet of bleach and developer. Buy a cap and pull hair through applying with a brush. Time carefully-then rinse.
