| I color my own at home but I have never done highlights. I wouldn't lighten your hair more than a shade maybe 2 own your own. I usually go a shade lighter in the summer and a shade darker in the winter. I usually use Loreal Preference but I have been known to use others if they didn't have a shade I wanted. I always follow the directions and have had no problem. I've heard good things about the new 10 minute color and that's what I'm getting next. Some have a really awful ammonia (sp?) smell so do it in a well ventilated place. I have thick and long (past my shoulders) hair so I use 2 boxes. Hope this helps. Good luck. |
