Hi girls, need advice after highlighting?

hi! i just got my hair highlighted yesterday. i brought my own kit from loreal, but the color didn't do anything, so they had to use the one from the salon in the end. the girl, who did it was quite slow, so one side is lighter than the other. i can deal with that, that happens, its highlights. i wanted to ask you, what shall i use, so the highlights don't wash out even lighter, i wouldn't want it lighter than it is now - speciallt the lighter side!



my hair is medium brown and the gihglights are kinda caramel color on one side, one part is slightly lighter than that - blond-ish.



thank you so much!

I wouldn't be happy if I had it done at the salon and it was different colours.



You need to go back to the salon and speak to the Manager.

Use a color protecting shampoo, like biolage.



If it gets too light, put some toner on it for a few minutes. That will bring the blonde down



Hi girls, need advice after highlighting?

i would dye your hair all one shade so that it is all even...then get the highlights professionally put in. DONT make them look too fake though!!!!!



Hi girls, need advice after highlighting?

I would suggest you simply condition your hair really well so the color will not fade. If you let the conditioner to stay on your hair for about 3-5 (sometimes 10) minutes you will be fine. One thing is you can never over condition your hair.



Hope this helps

With the highlight kit you bought it should have came with a conditioner. That maintains the color.



Or you can buy shampoo that's made especially for treating color hair.



I recommend you buy this at a salon.

Use a color protecting shampoo and conditioner. Also, dont go out in the sun too much. Sun dulls the color. Do regualr deep conditioning treatments.... Also you got ur hair haighlighted and colored, so dont wash your hair for atleast 48 hours straight. let the color lock in. Secondly, oil ur hair regualrly after that, keep it overnight and then wash it off. Dont forget to appy a leave in conditioner.

Your highlights won't wash out lighter, but they will get lighter. When you use a high lift process you open the cuticle and strip your natural pigment out.And unfortunately it just keeps getting lighter because the cuticle stays partly open.I would suggest toning it a shade darker on the lighter pieces to bring it all to caramel.Also Heat ,sun and minerals in your water will add to the lightening process.

Try Clairol Colorseal, I use it and it works great! http://www.clairol.com/niceneasy/colorse...

Go back to the salon and have them redo the darker side, it shouldn't take long since it already had been highlighted. Then have them put a toner over ALL of it so its even and not too light. You can choose the color of the toner, basically a toner is just a really light hair color with very little peroxide, and sometimes none at all. It removes any purple or orange "brassy" tones that sometimes happen where bleach is left on too long or not long enough. As far as your highlights washing out lighter, the only way that could happen is if your stylist already put on a toner and the toner fades out with normal washing. Use a color protecting shampoo and conditioner such as Redken (it comes in a red bottle) or Biolage. Good luck.
