Hello There,
My best friend is a hairdresser and he's taught me to be be self sufficient as he lives on the other side of the country. Okay I believe it generally makes everything easier if you start from the bottom and work up ( that goes for heat straightening and curling your hair, or one colour dying your hair. Use sectioning clips to to keep the hair out of the way as you work upwards). As for the highlighting kit, the same rules apply, start at the bottom and work up. Put the cap with the holes in it on ( before applying the cap, I would comb and part my hair the way I wear it: side part, centre part, etc). Next use your hook tool to pull out ( from the base of the cap up) little highlights of hair. Be gentle with long hair, slide it out carefully through the hole...you don't want to tug too hard as you will enlarge the hole and cause scalp / dye leakage. I would recommend pulling out the width of two pieces of spaghetti ( anymore and they look like skunk stripes) . When you get around your face, become a little less symmetrical / the sun is random so pick your pieces carefully :) !! The shows metal sectioning clips ( I have at least 12 at most times they make all hair work lighting fast). They are available at most beauty supply stores, chemists, etc. I prefer the metal to the plastic ones because they really hug your head and are lighter and cheaper. It's a little tip but you'll love me for it <3 Good luck thrifty gals everywhere!!
