A pastry brush I haven't tried, but I have used a mascara wand. That works okay. I find the best thing is to use my fingers...believe it or not. Then wrap the little strand up in foil. I am not sure what color your colorist is doing, the highlights may or may not be visible depending on the amount that you do. If you get them too light though, and the colorist uses an ash green dye on your hair, they may turn green. However, it will fade. I like L'Oreal Excellence Creme lights--it's formulated to be used on already dyed hair. Hope this helps.

So I have a full head of salon highlights, some of the highlights are lighter than others, and some are really dark blonde. My question is, is it a good idea to buy a home dye, or streaking kit, and pin up my hair and do random highlights with say, a pastry brush? Granted I'll do a strand test and all. I feel like it would be doable. Has anyone ever attemped doing their highlights like this? Is it harder than imagined, and easy to screw up? It's weird cause I would never put one through my whole hair, but this just seemed like a cool idea.
Also, would it affect the dye my hairdresser puts in next time? It would probably damage my hair, too right?
