Color Effects Highlighting Kit, Permanent Hair Dye, For Balayage, Frosting, & Ombre Styling, Ammonia & Paraben Free, 30 Honey, 8 Oz (Pack of 1)

Use the Revlon frost I can't tell you how many times! People and Beauticians, are going to frown how I use it! I don't use the cap an hook! I like the way there is one packet to mix with the solution. Others have 2 packets with extra solutions ,this one is simple to mix and turns to a purple color, then you know have the right one. I did this with long hair and now short. I take a comb with the handle , dip in the foam highlight, and lightly comb it where I want the highlights, not real close together as this expands. Works every time, stays a long time on, and is a simpler way to do! This product is they best I have found and way cheaper than the others.

I HAVE VERY SHORT HAIR AND CAN'T ALWAYS GET TO A SALON TO GET MY HAIR HIGHLIGHTED, SO I PURCHASED THIS PARTICULAR KIT AND IT WORKS PERFECTLY......THE FIRST TIME I USED THIS MY HAIR WAS A LITTLE DARKER SO I HAD TO LEAVE THE BLEACH ON MY HAIR FOR 1 HOUR AND IT TURNED OUT ABSOLOUTLY PERFECT! I LOVE THE COLOR OF BLONDE, NOT TOO PLATINUM, JUST THE PERFECT SHADE OF BLONDE. NO YELLOWISH, BRASSY COLORS THAT WE HATE TO HAVE, JUST MAKE SURE TO LEAVE IT ON LONGER THAN IT SAYS OR IT WON'T TURN OUT THE RIGHT SHADE......I HAVE PURCHASED THIS PARTICULAR KIT NOW 5 TIMES. LOOKS LIKE I JUST STEPPED OUT OF THE SALON.

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!

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.

This is great I used cap didn’t like it so I just comb it in and works great and looks like I went to the Beauty parlor !

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.

This is the perfect product to do highlights by yourself. I would recommend to use a crochet needle, since the one that comes with this product is not sturdy enough.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE PLATINUM HIGHLIGHTING KIT?????? YOU STILL MAKE THAT IN ALL OVER DYE SO WHY STOP MAKING IT IN THE HIGHLIGHTING KIT??? The platinum kit made my highlights LIGHT BLONDE. This kit I have to leave on over an hour and pray I don't get orange highlights. I have been using the Revlon color effects highlighting kit in platinum for 10 years so if you make it in permanent all over color, why stop making it in highlighting??? This color blonde or the other color honey are too similar and if your hair tends to pull reddish gold, you have to leave this on super long, dry out your hair and pray it doesn't come out reddish gold and brassy. You had the right kit and I'm frustrated you no longer make it when you do make that color for permanent hair color. I just did this blonde kit today only because I trust this brand. I had to leave it on 75 minutes and it's not even close to the beautiful blonde highlights I get from the platinum kit and you definitely need two kits if your hair is long. Also USE PURPLE SHAMPOO if you want blonde highlights and not gold brassy highlights the moment you wash this out, douse your hair in a really good purple shampoo. I disappointed I can't get the platinum kit anymore. I want to have my highlights be light blonde, not brassy or gold or have to leave it on at least 75 minutes to try to get it as blonde as it used to come out.People thought I spent hundreds when I did it with the platinum kit. Today my friend came over after I did it and she asked why my highlights were brassier so I guess now I'm stuck and can't have the luxury of doing my own highlights with a great kit because you stopped making it when you make it in permanent color (Yes I tried using that color with this kit and it turned my hair peach) PLEASE MAKE THIS KIT in PLATINUM again because it really does look great and some people want their highlights LIGHT
