| so i was thinking about getting some lowlights in my now auburn hair. anyone ever done lowlights at home? any suggestions? or is this something i should leave to my hair dresser? i usually do my own highlights, but i stopped bleaching my hair because of the damage it was causing. i guess i just want my hair different, but not lighter. thanks guys!! |

I have done it before when my hair was really bleached blonde and uniform in color. I found a slightly darker blonde and put streaks in my hair just as you would with highlights. It looked great,but did fade rather quickly on the bleached hair.
I would be careful not to pick a color that is too dark though....but it can definitely be done. ------------- |

You could even use just regular OTC dye and apply where you like. Do a strand test, and wrap the coloured bits in foil after. :)

| i think i am going to do a really dark auburn or even black. when i dyed my hair back to the natural auburn after a few weeks the blonde streaks came back. it looks nice though, adds dimension. i think lowlights will definitly give me the change i want. i just can't decide if i should do them myself or pay my hairdresser 60 bucks again. i will keep ya'll you posted when i decide! |
