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

I have always gotten this brand since I was probably 18 or so. I like how it has the cap inside of the box, and how it ties to your chin to provide a nice snug grip to your scalp where the holes need to be. It has several ways to apply your highlights as well, you can section it off to the front and sides, or do your whole head. It also has an every other hole structure that you can follow to get even and consistent strands all around your head. And if you wanted a ton of highlights you can do every single hole they've punched inside of it. Which is great ! That they give you so many choices on how many highlights you can put inside of your hair. The bleaching kit comes with a little plastic rectangle bowl and a powder pouch along with the developing cream. You'll pour your powder in and the developer creme in and mix with the spatula they provide. Which also has a hook to it and you pull your strands of hair out with the hooked side of the spatula. Some of their boxes had a metal hook and some are plastic. I suppose it depends on which highliting kit you get. You can also save some of your bleach and pour about half of your powder and half of your developing cream if you're doing a small portion of hair for your highlights. Then it will have a plastic cover for after you're done applying your hair and keeps it moist and from drying out. All in all this is my favorite and leaves my hair very lightened and beautiful, it doesn't dry my hair out like others can and has a nice conditioner that helps smooth your hair.

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 bought this kid to touch up the root out growth on my baylage color. I left it on about thirty minutes. I probably should have left it on for the 60.But this was my first time using it. I was impressed that I was able to blend my outgrowth.I would suggest if you're doing around the front and the top that you brush your hair back before putting the cap on to get the fine here is around your face. The product did not have a very strong odor seemed very conditioning.And my hair felt nice afterward. And the picture is my hair is still wet.But I believe it will be lighter when it dries. This is definitely a timesaver and very economical way of touching up your hair. I think next time I'm going to buy some foils.And i'm going to brush my hair back away from my face before putting the cap on so that I can get more highlight around my face.. The cap is good quality material.You could probably reuse it again if you wanted.But I did not keep it. This is a good value. I will buy again.

Easy to use by simply following instructions. Would not recommend for dark brunettes as it will likely result more orange but for light brown hair it lifts and tones hair without any lingering brassiness.
