If you can't wait for a professional to do the job for you, you need to at least talk with one first. My advice would be to communicate with your colorist and get their recommendation. "I stay in touch with my clients and will troubleshoot their individual situations. "The possibilities of it looking bad are endless," she says. So without further ado, ahead find a step-by-step guide to highlighting your hair at home just proceed with caution and bear our warnings in mind.Ĭara Craig of NYC's Suite Caroline salon does warn us that when taking matters into your own hands, "you are headed into the territory of unknown outcomes." Craig cautions that when highlighting your hair at home, you could end up with a completely different color (because the box photos are never the same IRL), or you might end up with very weird placement, a blonde that is way too warm and doesn't match the rest of your hair, or color that is way too dark. Since experts agree that it isn't safe for those who want to lighten all of their hair more than two shades at home, this tutorial will focus on how those with existing highlights (or hair color in the blonde family) can touch-up their color by highlighting only where the hair parts and the pieces that frame the face. But with that being said, if you've already made up your mind that you're giving this a try, we want you to at least do it as safely as possible.

Highlighting is not something a professional colorist, myself included, would ever advise you to do from home. We wouldn't be doing our job if we didn't offer up the safest way to highlight your hair at home, but we also wouldn't be doing our job if we didn't give you a fair warning about everything that can go wrong when you try to DIY highlights. But when it comes to highlighting your own hair, well, the stakes are much higher. It's still a totally acceptable choice, and sometimes a necessary one, to supplement your next salon appointment with a quick box of color and get that root coverage. Getting boxed color from the local drug store was something I did all the time before I became a licensed stylist.
