Ummm. That’s peroxide and powdered bleach!! It’s extremely caustic. Whilst I ❤ your DIY hair, can you please wear gloves so you’re not burning into your fingers and allowing that poison into your bloodstream? You wouldn’t rub that paste into your face so same applies to your hands. Hair doesn’t matter because it’s technically dead cells (like fingernails) and has no blood flow. 💇♀️
You had me at "not interested in using Purple Shampoo" Thanks so much.. I will give this a go now.
Thank you so so much for this video! Gonna do this now as I was worried about wrecking my hair but this is a much healthier and professional looking way to do it! I actually did this after watching the video and my hair looks like it’s been professionally done! Thank you!!
Your hair highlights look so natural! I also highlight my own hair...very pretty!💞
Definitely I will give it a try! With gloves tho 😁thank you for this video ❤️
I bought a box from Superdrug and did a few highlights at the front - It's really great for naturally dark blonde hair, I always use the Pro-Voke Touch Of Silver Brightening Shampoo afterwards to tone down any brassiness. Thanks, Lydia!
Dearest Lydia, OMG your hair is amazingly beautiful. I say this after 38 years of being a hairdresser. When I was working before I went out on my own and started my Beauty Business. Because my Mom said after of course I went to College for everything. Just to come back to beauty. She is not with us now sadly I. Is her so. UCB. She told me I used to take my Barbie dolls,Midge dolls,I never had a Ken or male doll. I world s ask in the kitchen grab the food coloring and color my Barbies hair all kinds of Cz colors. I was way ahead of the Bright dolls. I also used to cut and style them at the age I was I was not aware it did not grow back so this meant my Parents would have to replace my Dollies.I started Cosmetology School in the late 70’s then became pregnant and I had to quit because I had a hard pregnancy. Yet I. Ea t that just as soon as I could I would go back and finish the last 5 months. So in 1984 I did just that. It was hard with a little one. Yet I did it and Made on my State Boards 100% on the written part and a 99% score on the practical part. I was docked 1 point for not supposedly rinsing long enough. I specialized in Hair color mainly blondes,hair extensions,and wigs or hair PCs. Then went on to another School for Makeup Artistry. I love it all still due. I am definitely going to,try your method.Since I messed up my Rotator Cuff. I had to stop working everyday you would be an awesome stylist. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and methods with us. 🌹🌹🌹
Just so everyone knows her hair is naturally light and she has some already lightened hair so if you are going to do this and you have medium hair to dark hair it's likely going to come out orangish redish. And I'm surprised this method worked but looks lovely
I just ordered a box. I would say I have light brown hair. Will it make it go orange? And what can I do if it does go orange ?
Emily Broad that’s why I specified for blonde hair 😘 mine is dark blonde/browny underneath and even when I do it on those bits, it never turns ginger!
@@LydiaJaneTomlinson hi Lydia, how strong is the developer you used? Is it the standard volume 20?
@@LydiaJaneTomlinson thanks for this video. I just tried it #latetotheparty and my blonde hair (with darker roots due to 0 sun or highlights for months) has turned a little ginger in sections (first time n all that) not too concerned as hope to rectify it - any tips welcome ?? Wondered if I had left it not on long enough ?
I could never tell you did it yourself! I’m gonna try next week with small baby lights. I’ll use your technique ☺️
Great video! I am actually surprised to learn that you highlight your own hair as the finish is always very professional. I highlight my own hair in exactly the same way. I also don't use gloves but wash my hands very frequently throughout the process. Funny when you learn that many of us do the same thing :).
I'm so gonna try this, might vlog it and i bet 100% I don't get the same results! Haha 😄
This reminded me I used to use an old toothbrush but the process was same only different product. I loved how your colour turned out. I also much prefer a very natural look too👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Your hair looks amazing. I have a curly texture so this will be hard to do for some .My strands tend to bend into the other hair and give it a leopard spot look .Your hair is very healthy .
I dont know how you are tolerating the no gloved hands. Have you ever used the bag? IF so how did that work.?
You would save sooo much $$ if you just bought a liter or less of 20volume developer and a tub of powder bleach rather than a kit. You have Sally’s in the uk right? I’d do that since you do your own hair like me. I do foil and weave highlights which is much quicker and don’t have to worry about bleeding on scalp or using hands turns out great. Yours looks lovely!
I started doing at home with foils but i have problem to blend close to my scalp. And idk how to do on the back
Even cheaper at notino or amazon
Ireland has no Sally's, don't think the UK has either
no sally’s in the uk
There is Sally’s in the UK
How often do you do this? I am a natural blonde and just want a little extra highlights/sunkissed look. However, I would love to only do this a few times a year if that's possible haha.
She said she only does it every 6-7 weeks or so
Thank you so so much for this perfect tutorial😍🙏 I watched so many ones in English and German, but yours was definitly the best and encouraged me to finally do my hair myself. It came out beautifully and I am very happy with it. You look gorgeous by the way.
Tried this method 5 months ago and never had highlights before. It turned out great and people ask me if a hairdresser did it. Highly recommend this method! At first I tried the to get a highlight cap on, did not work so went with this method; I'm glad that I did :) Going to do this again tomorrow.
@@marge6581 hi! I've used "Blonde - Coup de Soleil Easy" from Schwarzkopf. It says: M3+ , up to 6 levels of lift on the package. My natural hair color is light blonde. I highly recommend using gloves with it. Good luck!
Amazing result, good on you! Better than having to sit in a salon for hours and pay $200!
Thank you so much for your tip about not using silver shampoo. I decided not to use it and my hair looks so much better, blonder and not so grey looking. So pleased I found your channel. I love your videos they give me great inspiration and they are so calming.
Hi Lidia, I live in Canada, tried to search for this kit on Amazon but it is currently unavailable. Would you recommend a different product?
This is the best method I have seen. I am doing this tonight!
You do a great job, as good as a professional and much more economical
by adding bleach, to already blonded, bleached hair, you are going to weaken your hair an it will break. I don't know how manage this, it would be safer using foils. Your hair looks healthy though
New subscriber I have tried this in the past I have very dark hair but trying to go blonde slowly I'm getting there thank you for giving me the confidence to give this a go
Hey! I also went from dark to blond , I have a video on my channel using a hairbrush technique you may like ☺️
That's brilliant! I definitely want to try it!
Have any brunettes tried this? I bleached my own hair before and the roots came out super orange whilst the rest was blonde/brassy.
Yeah I used 3% peroxide and bleach so that it didn't lighten too much. 3% stupid working sooner then 20% do it prevents you from overlightening
i have, you just need toner to fix that :)
Been doing this for years but using cap - firstly use excellence no 7 hair dye and then highlights on top
Where are you Brad Mondo?
Oh gosh... I would love to try this at home, but I worry about getting it in my eyes. Maybe one of these days I will buck up the courage. Thank you for this demonstration.
Buy a pair of safety glasses. Their super cheap and easy to get.
Looks stunning, Lydia!! Great job ❤️❤️
I’m so tempted to try this. Love your style, Lydia. I’ve recently bought slouchy balloon style jeans - inspired by you. I used to wear them in my early 20s in the 90s but they were horrid back then. I used to love wearing baggy cargo pants with fitted halter tops back in the day. Loving the modern take on the 90s silhouette.
I tried it. hair looks good. Thank you!
The video is great, but could you tell me please what is the shade of the blonde you are using here. It looks really nice
This is great! I've been doing some babylights at the front with foils but it takes me forever so I'll try your method this time and let you know how it works on my dark blonde mostly virgin hair!
how did it go?
@@Maik-iz7gs The bleach powder and developer mixture dried too quickly on my hair, so I didn't get any lift. I think it would work better on my hair with a higher volume developer.
I'm thinking about just making a salon appointment because it's time consuming to do it my way. It looks really pretty and natural but I'm ready for a bigger change.
@@abbyhenderson9574 you should probably try a clay lightener it doesn't dry soo fast
@@delilahgonzalez8415 Thank you for the tip. I've actually been doing my hair for about a year now with foils. My previous issue was not adding enough developer to the mixture. Once I learned my ratios and added olaplaex I was good to go!
This is a pretty good technique and these box highlighting kits are very gentle and fool proof. These kits are designed to not damage your hair too much and are self toning this is why your hair is in good condition. But, this technique is difficult for doing the back and I only see where you done the front. Turned out very nice.
Gentle, really? I am used professional bleach with developer, my hair was a little dry, but it was still ok for bleached hair. Once I wanted to bleach my hair, but I had no powder at home, bought a kit at the drugstore. It broke 50% of my hair on the top and on the right side, it was 1 cm... This was in may, last year. Since then I used Blondme bleach, and finally cut my hair, it is collarbone length. With the Blondme and 4,5 % peroxide my hair is not dry, i even can comb it trough without conditioner or anything when wet.
Drugstore kits are known to be harsh, because they can't be 'customized'. They need to work on a wide range of natural colors.
@@theoneandonlypinky666 Do you suppose maybe your hair broke off because you had already done too much to it? I bleached my hair 6 times in one month and went to a salon to have low lights, half of it broke off. I was going to blame the salon but then I remembered that I had already pushed it beyond the limit LOL!!
Gentle?? Home highlight kits or even those ' lightening sprays '
contain strong hydrogen peroxide..not sure why you refer to it as gentle lol .D not get me wrong I have one of these kits in my own bathroom to do but my own hair is virgin dark blonde ..I first highlighted my own hair like Lydia in 1978 aged 11 or 1# lol so know there's no gentle peroxide
Fantastic result! Good clear instructions and sooo easy! Thanks Lydia.
Thank you so much for this Lydia, it turned out beautifully for me aswell!
You are truly an inspiration :)
Wow that looks amazing! As good as $200 highlights at the salon!
This product isn't available anywhere! Have literally looked everywhere and all out of stock :(
Same here. It's in stock on Amazon today but I'm sure not for long.
Schwarzkopf Blonde Easy Highlighter (there are differend options) could be an option :)
I'm gonna try this this weekend, I'm nervous and excited at the same time... Wish me luck and I hope it doesn't fail. Couldn't buy the same product as you because they didn't deliver to Belgium, but gonna try it with Schwarzkopf Blonde coupe de soleil. Let's seeeeee! Thank you for your video, you make it look really easy! and you look amazing!
I’m going to be following this video next week for my blonde highlights at home, 🤞 fingers crossed 👍
I use this kit, but I have to leave it on for a hour. x
There is one called Kaleidocolor. I have light hair , so I used purple powder. It smells like watermelons instead of bleach.
Natural and lovely results.
Perfect. Cheap. Tedious but easy. Only problem is white fingertips. 🤣😂🤣 Might wear gloves... might not. 😁
What is the US version of the product?
I’m interested too!
Omg noooo. Just foil it with a tint brush and foil. U get so many more sections. So much easier and faster.
Ahh it is my favorite stylist vlog girl whaaaat i stumbled upon this - will try as soon as possible…! I’ve spent like thousands (fr, also one hairdresser destroyed my hair) so will give this a try❤
Hey I'm watching this video now and wondering if anyone has tried the method? How did you go?
I wish I’d watched this before I dyed my roots from a box dye and they’re now super ginger instead of blonde 💔😫
Get some purple conditioner and leave it on damp hair for about half an hour it takes away the brassy tones
Kimberley Ledger not on ginger hair
barbiebee288 try bleaching again and then using a toner :)
Always do a strand test first!!!
I'm going to give this a try. Thanks for the video. Let's hope I don't go orange! Haha btw, your hair is really pretty.
omg i'm going to try this! looks so easy and it turns out so good 😍 thank you!!!
Omg, that’s so not good on your skin
I’m hopefull that I can achieve some good highlights! Love how well you showed this :)
I was hoping you'd show how to highlight the back of the hair. Not just the top layer. The video was very helpful anyway thanks
I tried this and it looks great! It's a perfect method because I cant deal with foils and brushes. My hair looks coppery, it looks quite nice but would like it baby blonde. What should I do?
You most likely need a toner... a good purple shampoo might do the trick though, my personal favourite is fanola no yellow shampoo, if you leave that on for between 5 - 15 minutes depending on how orange/yellow your hair has gone that normally helps a lot. If you want one to just get in the drugstore though then look for one that says extra strength etc. To properly knock out the orange/yellow :)
@@melodiehaylett9453 thanks so much for your reply! i will do this : )
@@goodbyesupergirl Glad I could help, hope it all works out for you :)
I love your hair and how it’s darker underneath. I thought maybe you had lowlights as well.
Trying today! Love this video
Do you still use this now your hair is longer?
I'm curious as a few others asked. Anything you recommend to those of us in the US. Thanks!
Yes, I wondered the same as the Wella Streaking Kit isn't available in my country:(
Revlon frost & glow kit
4 years later My daughter sent me this . FANTASTIC thank you so much for your wonderful easy to understand video ☺️👍🙌🏻👏👏👏 Greetings from A new fan Maureen in Geneva Switzerland
Don’t leave it on too long ? That kinda concerns me because of the possibility of turning orange…
I’m about to do this or if I chicken out, pull it through a cap but I’ve done that in the past and despised it ( it’s labor intensive, hurts, & I got zero lift from it so zero result 🥲🥲😭!). Think I may just try this. Looks fantastic on you! 👍🏼
What can I get USA for my own safe lighten at home ? And make my roots fine ?
Your eyebrows are gorgerous
Looks good color wise but I saw lots of strands at the top with breakage.
That’s through styling and tying my hair up too don’t forget
Wondering what cosmetics you're wearing? I've been looking for these peachy tones for ages for my pale skin. 🙏
Hi Lydia. I live in USA and unfortunately this kit is not available here. Could recommend something similar that I can purchase here? Thank you. I loved your video.
Revlon frost & glow
So is toner not necessary when just doing some highlights?
If you have darker hair a toner is needed. If you try this and you pull ( turn out) orange then use a toner with a 20% lifter. Follow directions. Wella has great toners. 10A is very blonde. Sally Beauty employees can help you with more details.
Wot a way to do hi lights😖
What product did you use
Avoid doing this if your hair is darker than a light brown and use a purple shampoo if you want it more ashy.
This is probably an old video which is why the product link no longer works.
Tried this and it worked so well! Used the Jerome Russel bleach x
I tried this during the pandemic and ended up looking like Dog the bounty Hunter 😂🥴
😨 where are your GLOVES? You’re going to burn your fingers
What's your base hair color level ?
I think dark blonde
What shampoo and conditioner do you use? Thanks
Yes I am doing
I ordered it had to fly it from Glasgow to Auckland New Zealand where we are in lock down. i wore gloves to protect my skin. It took me 15 mins to put in my hair. then i waited 35 mins. then had shower. it worked well but i didn't leave it on long enough in some sections so bits were yellow not blonde. and i used normal shampoo twice, normal conditioner once, then i did a purple loreal mask for 20 mins, then i did purple shampoo and purple conditioner. Must not get in your eyes or on surfaces so put lots of old rags down. was nice to change my re growth to a lighter colour :)
I will try it❤
Now this looks like something I could do.
No gloves??
Thank you so much for this! I think I’m going to try it…🎉❤
Je n'arrive pas à avoir le lien pour savoir quel produit 🤔
How much bleach did she use? I just saw that she added running water to the powder. If someone can tell me. Thank you
I think she used everything thats was in the box color kit:)
Looks great!
What is that dye or decolorant ?
LOVE how natural it looks
Also my hair is a medium to dark brown. Thanks
I love your videos so much!!
no toner??
Not everyone needs toner.
Just sub'd great idea ;-)
your hair is so pretty
