Hi,

I have dirty blonde hair and have always highlighted/frosted my hair with a frosting cap, white powder and peroxide at home.

A couple of months ago I had my hair done with foils in which they used color in the foils.  I really loved it but it was so expensive and I really can't afford to keep it up.

I was wondering if I can do something similar at home.  I want to use the frosting cap to pull the hair out and use a store bought color on the hair that has been pulled out instead of the white powder mix.  Has anyone ever done this successfully?  Is this a good idea?  Salon foils are definitely out of the picture and I cannot do foils at home.

Please help,

ggggg

first of all what color is your hair?  is it a natural color or is it already colored?  If it is a natural color, you can use a store bought color, if it is colored, you cannot because color will not lift color.  tell us a little bit about your hair before you can get advice!
