Highlights are a better choice than a single process
because your natural colour shows through, so it
won’t be as obvious when the colour starts to grow
out. However, highlights typically take longer to
apply than single process. To save time and money
ask your colourist for a half a head of highlights.
Get a full head of highlights every other time or
every third time.
If you stick within two to three shades or your
natural colour, you’ll be able to maximize your time
between salon visits.
Try a DIY highlight enhancer, which revives colour
with natural tints.
• Brunettes: rinse with 2 cups of cool black
coffee over damp hair in the shower; leave on
for 10 minutes, then shampoo.
• Blondes: use 3 cups of cooled chamomile
tea throughout wet hair; wait 15 minutes before
shampooing.
•Redheads: add 1 cup of rose hips tea
(from a health-food store) to 2 cups of
boiling water, let cool, then leave on damp
hair for 20 minutes before washing.
Bonus: All of these condition as well!
