DIY BLONDE HIGHLIGHTS... EASY, DAMAGE FREE AT HOME BABYLIGHTS

[@suzannecampbell2260]

Dearest Lydia, OMG your hair is amazingly beautiful. I say this after 38 years of being a hairdresser. When I was working before I went out on my own and started my Beauty Business. Because my Mom said after of course I went to College for everything. Just to come back to beauty. She is not with us now sadly I. Is her so. UCB. She told me I used to take my Barbie dolls,Midge dolls,I never had a Ken or male doll. I world s ask in the kitchen grab the food coloring and color my Barbies hair all kinds of Cz colors. I was way ahead of the Bright dolls. I also used to cut and style them at the age I was I was not aware it did not grow back so this meant my Parents would have to replace my Dollies.I started Cosmetology School in the late 70’s then became pregnant and I had to quit because I had a hard pregnancy. Yet I. Ea t that just as soon as I could I would go back and finish the last 5 months. So in 1984 I did just that. It was hard with a little one. Yet I did it and Made on my State Boards 100% on the written part and a 99% score on the practical part. I was docked 1 point for not supposedly rinsing long enough. I specialized in Hair color mainly blondes,hair extensions,and wigs or hair PCs. Then went on to another School for Makeup Artistry. I love it all still due. I am definitely going to,try your method.Since I messed up my Rotator Cuff. I had to stop working everyday you would be an awesome stylist. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and methods with us. 🌹🌹🌹

[@carolineglass4654]

I bought a box from Superdrug and did a few highlights at the front - It's really great for naturally dark blonde hair, I always use the Pro-Voke Touch Of Silver Brightening Shampoo afterwards to tone down any brassiness. Thanks, Lydia!

[@artfromjustme]

Tried this method 5 months ago and never had highlights before. It turned out great and people ask me if a hairdresser did it. Highly recommend this method! At first I tried the to get a highlight cap on, did not work so went with this method; I'm glad that I did :) Going to do this again tomorrow.

[@artfromjustme]

​@@marge6581 hi! I've used "Blonde - Coup de Soleil Easy" from Schwarzkopf. It says: M3+ , up to 6 levels of lift on the package. My natural hair color is light blonde. I highly recommend using gloves with it. Good luck!

[@soniahinson6372]

Thank you so much for your tip about not using silver shampoo. I decided not to use it and my hair looks so much better, blonder and not so grey looking. So pleased I found your channel. I love your videos they give me great inspiration and they are so calming.

[@Ohmyamyx]

Thank you so so much for this video! Gonna do this now as I was worried about wrecking my hair but this is a much healthier and professional looking way to do it! I actually did this after watching the video and my hair looks like it’s been professionally done! Thank you!!

[@heatherdavis1847]

This is the best method I have seen. I am doing this tonight!

[@Sunflower7711xx]

Thank you so so much for this perfect tutorial😍🙏 I watched so many ones in English and German, but yours was definitly the best and encouraged me to finally do my hair myself. It came out beautifully and I am very happy with it. You look gorgeous by the way.

[@ilariarigoni6885]

I could never tell you did it yourself! I’m gonna try next week with small baby lights. I’ll use your technique ☺️

[@ireneclark1817]

This reminded me I used to use an old toothbrush but the process was same only different product. I loved how your colour turned out. I also much prefer a very natural look too👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

[@gjm1120]

I’m so tempted to try this. Love your style, Lydia. I’ve recently bought slouchy balloon style jeans - inspired by you. I used to wear them in my early 20s in the 90s but they were horrid back then. I used to love wearing baggy cargo pants with fitted halter tops back in the day. Loving the modern take on the 90s silhouette.

[@arrabelladowning8920]

Fantastic result! Good clear instructions and sooo easy! Thanks Lydia.

New subscriber I have tried this in the past I have very dark hair but trying to go blonde slowly I'm getting there thank you for giving me the confidence to give this a go

[@HelensLife_]

Hey! I also went from dark to blond , I have a video on my channel using a hairbrush technique you may like ☺️

[@xl2898]

Great video! I am actually surprised to learn that you highlight your own hair as the finish is always very professional. I highlight my own hair in exactly the same way. I also don't use gloves but wash my hands very frequently throughout the process. Funny when you learn that many of us do the same thing :).

This is great! I've been doing some babylights at the front with foils but it takes me forever so I'll try your method this time and let you know how it works on my dark blonde mostly virgin hair!

[@Maik-iz7gs]

how did it go?

[@abbyhenderson9574]

@@Maik-iz7gs The bleach powder and developer mixture dried too quickly on my hair, so I didn't get any lift. I think it would work better on my hair with a higher volume developer.

[@abbyhenderson9574]

I'm thinking about just making a salon appointment because it's time consuming to do it my way. It looks really pretty and natural but I'm ready for a bigger change.

[@acceptingWhatIS]

[@angelinebiswas7611]

You would save sooo much $$ if you just bought a liter or less of 20volume developer and a tub of powder bleach rather than a kit. You have Sally’s in the uk right? I’d do that since you do your own hair like me. I do foil and weave highlights which is much quicker and don’t have to worry about bleeding on scalp or using hands turns out great. Yours looks lovely!

[@Maria20t]

I started doing at home with foils but i have problem to blend close to my scalp. And idk how to do on the back

You had me at "not interested in using Purple Shampoo" Thanks so much.. I will give this a go now.

[@glgardener4972]

Natural and lovely results.

[@lpg8518]

This is a pretty good technique and these box highlighting kits are very gentle and fool proof. These kits are designed to not damage your hair too much and are self toning this is why your hair is in good condition. But, this technique is difficult for doing the back and I only see where you done the front. Turned out very nice.

[@theoneandonlypinky666]

Gentle, really? I am used professional bleach with developer, my hair was a little dry, but it was still ok for bleached hair. Once I wanted to bleach my hair, but I had no powder at home, bought a kit at the drugstore. It broke 50% of my hair on the top and on the right side, it was 1 cm... This was in may, last year. Since then I used Blondme bleach, and finally cut my hair, it is collarbone length. With the Blondme and 4,5 % peroxide my hair is not dry, i even can comb it trough without conditioner or anything when wet. Drugstore kits are known to be harsh, because they can't be 'customized'. They need to work on a wide range of natural colors.

[@lpg8518]

@@theoneandonlypinky666 Do you suppose maybe your hair broke off because you had already done too much to it? I bleached my hair 6 times in one month and went to a salon to have low lights, half of it broke off. I was going to blame the salon but then I remembered that I had already pushed it beyond the limit LOL!!

[@sophiew1967]

Gentle?? Home highlight kits or even those ' lightening sprays ' contain strong hydrogen peroxide..not sure why you refer to it as gentle lol .D not get me wrong I have one of these kits in my own bathroom to do but my own hair is virgin dark blonde ..I first highlighted my own hair like Lydia in 1978 aged 11 or 1# lol so know there's no gentle peroxide

[@laurahooykaas1108]

I ordered it had to fly it from Glasgow to Auckland New Zealand where we are in lock down. i wore gloves to protect my skin. It took me 15 mins to put in my hair. then i waited 35 mins. then had shower. it worked well but i didn't leave it on long enough in some sections so bits were yellow not blonde. and i used normal shampoo twice, normal conditioner once, then i did a purple loreal mask for 20 mins, then i did purple shampoo and purple conditioner. Must not get in your eyes or on surfaces so put lots of old rags down. was nice to change my re growth to a lighter colour :)

[@goodbyesupergirl]

I tried this and it looks great! It's a perfect method because I cant deal with foils and brushes. My hair looks coppery, it looks quite nice but would like it baby blonde. What should I do?

[@melodiehaylett9453]

You most likely need a toner... a good purple shampoo might do the trick though, my personal favourite is fanola no yellow shampoo, if you leave that on for between 5 - 15 minutes depending on how orange/yellow your hair has gone that normally helps a lot. If you want one to just get in the drugstore though then look for one that says extra strength etc. To properly knock out the orange/yellow :)

If you have darker hair a toner is needed. If you try this and you pull ( turn out) orange then use a toner with a 20% lifter. Follow directions. Wella has great toners. 10A is very blonde. Sally Beauty employees can help you with more details.
