Semi-permanent vs permanent:“Many clients are keen to experiment with semi-permanent color as it allows you to try different shades without the commitment of a permanent color,” says Sam Acott, master colourist at Josh Wood. Unlike permanent hair dye, semi-permanent is non-damaging and doesn’t contain ammonia or peroxide. “It’s worth noting, however, that semi-permanent color adds tone, color and shine—but is unable to lift hair lighter,” adds Acott. So, if your hair is naturally dark and you want highlights, a permanent product will work best.

This product isrecommended to lift sections of hair to achieve natural looking highlights. The formulation is non-drip and designed for easy and precise application and to help condition and protect hair while you lighten.’ Highlighting Kit Contents So if you really know what you’re doing, or you're happy to give it a go, use foils like some hairstylists do, as they help give the closest finish to what you would get in a salon. During the lightening process, if you experience a reaction, such as intense stinging, burning sensation, swelling, skin rash, dizziness, faintness or shortness of breath, rinse immediately with lukewarm water. Discontinue use immediately and consult a doctor.

Full-on highlights are when fine streaks of color are distributed evenly in small sections throughout the hair, often separated by foils, and tend to come right up to the root—they can also be fine or chunky, depending on technique.

The Paul Mitchell Forever Blonde range is a good choice for blonde and highlighted hair and extra moisturising ingredients like Moroccan Argan Oil are beneficial. I like to use the hair oil and hair mask from Argan Dew for some deep-conditioning DIY hair care. Blonde Hair Care Tips Highlights are in the foil directly at the root and are the lightest effect usually, as the heat from the foil works the best," says Francesca Dixon, creative colorist at Hari's Hairdressers.I think this is a good product to use at home and I have been alternating between getting my highlights done at the Hair Salon and doing them myself at home when my roots arecomingthrough (theperennialproblem of highlighted hair!). I think that the very affordable price of this kit is a real plus, it is exceptional value for money and if you can’t afford to get your hair done professionally or don’t have the time to schedule in a trip to the hair salon when your roots arecomingthrough, this product is a great way to refresh your colour at home.

"If you have patchy hair color, have a root glow, or whatever your hair crisis may be, Hari's offers a full consultation (virtually or in salon) with your professional who will deal with the problem and advise and guide you. Don’t try and fix it yourself at home as you may make it worse, which could cause breakage. Start from the inside: "What you take internally will reflect externally," explains Francesca. "Hair vitamins are always a good idea to ensure you’re giving your hair all the nutrients it needs for optimal health."
