| I've been highlighting my hair which is naturally a dark brown for awhile, and I have an appointment w/my colorist on May 5th to have it highlighted again since I have major roots right now. My question is, the highlights seem to be taking over and I am afraid when I get it highlighted again my hair will be too light all over. Can I dye my hair it's natural color myself and then start from scratch with highlights? Or is it too late since the appointment is in 3 weeks? I have naturally curly hair, so I don't want to damage it and have it be a frizzy mess. |

Years ago I had a similar problem with too many highlights put in my hair over time. The stylist added lowlights (same small sections of hair like highlights only applying a darker color - more your natural color or perhaps a shade lighter) while also doing some highlights. Adding back in some darker section made my hair have more "dimension" or "depth" -- whatever we might call it |
. The result was my hair looked highlighted again -- rather than an "all-over" color that had developed over time with all the highlights. See what your stylist recommends. Best of luck. MariaPosted By: red legos

If you want ..instead of dying your hair completely, they have products which instead of highlights, it adds lowlights. (which not lightens, but adds darker color/pieces) I'd tell you the name and brand, but I completely forgot. I know they are sold at Walmart though. If I find them, I'll post again. ------------- |

I think this is what I may have seen. http://www.walgreens.com/search/search_results.jsp?_dyncharset=ASCII&term=custom+effects+lowlights§ion=A&%2Fsearch%2Fsearchbase%2FSearchOptions.resultsperPage=5&_D%3A%2Fsearch%2Fsearchbase%2FSearchOptions.resultsperPage=+&_DARGS=%2Fcommon%2Fnavigation%2Fheader_fg.jsp.1 - Custom Effects by Revlon ..they have some that adds lowlights and some that highlights, but click on that and check some of them out. I didn't exactly know what your current color was, so I didn't want to post a picture of one box.
