Revlon Color Effects Highlighting Kit, Permanent Hair Dye, For Balayage, Frosting, & Ombre Styling, Ammonia & Paraben Free, 20 Blonde, 8 Oz (Pack of 1)

Product worked perfectly. Saved a bunch of money doing it myself. Color was exactly what I wanted. Left it on for 70 minutes. No red. 3rd picture my hair had been done by a product a week ago.1st 2 pics my cousin & I did. Much better results

This is my first time putting highlights on my hair myself. The directions were easy to follow. The kit has almost everything you need, besides a comb and a cape. I just used a plastic garbage bag to protect my skin and cloths. Pulling the hair through the cap is not too difficult on the easy to reach areas. But suggest having some help to reach the back and make sure you to miss any areas. I have light hair and it only took about 20 minutes to reach the desired results. After I put the lightener on the hair I pulled through the cap, I hand rubbed lightener on the lower portion of the remaining hair the get the ombré look. That work out pretty good too.

I was so happy to see the blue hue in the bleach powder. This type of bleach works best on my dark brown hair. Brings it up to a nice pale blonde in 70 mins. Hair feels healthy as well.

This is a really great way to save some money at the salon!The color turns out really nice. My hair is naturally medium brown. I don’t use the pulling needle that comes with it because it’s very flimsy. I just buy one from the beauty supply store and reuse over and over.

I was Leary about using this after only getting highlites professionally done but it came out amazing. I will now use this every time! 10$ beats 200$ any day

I have a naturally medium brown that leans auburn in the sunlight, but I like to intensify the red. Before COVID, I would get my hair lightened and colored in the salon, because every at-home dye kit consult I had told me you can't really lighten hair with kits, just add color. Darn. Wanting to DIY and needing easy, I've been using Overtone and have been thrilled with the results, but now that it's been so long since the salon, my salon-lightened ends have grown out and the red looks less noticeable. Being an absolute beginner and too scared to bleach all over, I thought this highlighting kit might be a good way to dip my toes into hair lightening. I did a lot of research, watched Youtube tutorials to avoid frying it off , and decided on this kit to use for my first attempt.The first picture is my before color. I first did a strand test (second picture) and this is after about 40 minutes of processing time. I was pleased with the amount of lightening, so I decided to keep going.The kit comes with a plastic cap with printed holes on it. You can either use every hole for an all-over look, or every other one for a more scattered look. I decided on every other. There is a little hook included that you use to pull strands out through the cap, so that the hair underneath doesn't get lightened. Well, this is where I ran into trouble. My hair is REALLY fine, and I just could not get ANY hair hooked on that darn thing. I tried for probably half an hour until my husband took pity and said he'd give it a shot. Somehow he was better at it (maybe the angle is easier to get if you're not looking in a mirror? Or he used more pressure? Not sure), so I let him help me pull strands through all the circles. I might need to use tweezers or something next time. You may not have this issue though, if your hair isn't insanely fine and slippery. I recommend using a comb to lightly brush against the cap after and make sure you don't have any tangles or loops that didn't quite make it through.I used a combination of my gloved fingers and a hair paintbrush (don't know what they're really called) to coat the strands with the mixed solution. It went on pretty easily. Then I set a timer and put the included plastic cover over the top. I checked it every 10 minutes, and when it looked like it had processed to where I liked it, rinsed it out. I also did the shampoo and conditioner included, which helped make my hair feel a lot softer.Overall, I really like how it turned out! My hair actually looks ginger just from this kit alone. It looks very natural; my sister who is a natural redhead looks like this in the summer. I'll still probably add the Overtone Copper Kit to help blend it into the exact shade I like though. I'll come back and post the results of that after I do it. If you are going for more true blonde strands, you'll probably need to leave it on longer (a few strands on my bangs processed to yellow) or possibly do a second bleaching. A toner might make it less orange leaning. But this definitely gives a nice lightening effect on brown, and for someone who wanted to go to the coppery side anyway, it's perfect!

I recently tried this highlighter kit that claimed to be ammonia-free, which was a big plus for me. While the product itself is not organic, it seemed like a good option for my needs.The kit came with a cap and hook for highlighting, but I must say, I was not impressed with the quality of these accessories. The hook broke after just 5 minutes of use, which was incredibly frustrating. I ended up having to purchase a replacement hook from another store.Additionally, the cap provided in the kit was quite basic and did not fit snugly against my scalp. This made it difficult to achieve the precise highlights I was hoping for.On a positive note, the shampoo and conditioner included in the kit were decent and left my hair feeling soft and manageable.
