Highlight kit full#

From hook to styling, the whole process took me about 3 1/2 hours. I could possibly see myself using this kit in the future, though I would probably force my husband to help pull hair through the cap. Even putting two of each packet would be beneficial especially to those with long or thick hair. I have shoulder-length fine hair and used the whole packet. After styling, other than looking a little more 2000’s chunky highlight at the front of my face than I would have liked, I am very happy with the look! I was actually pleasantly surprised that the color chart on the box was accurate! It would be nice to get a bigger packet of the toning conditioner and shampoo. It still looked very light (mostly in front) when I started to dry my hair with my Revlon One-Step Hair Dryer and Volumizer. After rinsing it off and shampooing and conditioning with the included toning shampoo and conditioner, I felt a little bit better about the color. When I checked it, I panicked because it looked very blonde and brassy compared to my chocolate cherry brown hair color. I intended to check my hair after 10 minutes but my timer never went off, so it was 15 minutes before I checked. As you apply the mixture and make sure each strand is saturated, the gloves start to slide off and get in the way. I would prefer a better fitting pair of gloves to wear.

The mixture did not smell harsh which was definitely appreciated. The mixing and coloring process was super easy.

I would recommend having someone help you pull hair through the cap if you are going for a full head of highlights and definitely if you are new to cap highlights.

I found it much too difficult to pull hair from any farther back on my head, so there was no chance I was going to be able to accomplish an all-over highlight, even if I wanted to. Because I didn’t want a dramatic change, I planned to only pulled hair through the circled holes and only in the front and crown portions of the cap. I think it is really important to keep the tool flat to your head with the hook pointed up, to get the best results without pulling at your hair. It took a few tries before I got the method down for pulling the hair through the cap. I used the smaller hook end of the tool because I wanted a subtle highlight. It has been a long time since I had done a cap highlight on myself but I was open to switching up my hair color and trying out Revlon’s Color Effects Frost Glow.
