Review: This is a wonderful time and money saving product - This is a wonderful time and money saving product! I have used it for years and will hopefully use it for many more. It did take me some time to find the technique best for my needs......trial and error. I am sharing what I have learned: 1. Remember to put some sort of vasolene or Abololene-type moisturizer around ears and hairline, front, ears, nape of neck, to prevent color bleeding onto your skin. Wear an old T-shirt and remove any rug or towels etc. from the area. If you are like me you may end up with this on places other than your head! 2. Don't try to color on hair that has heavy styling products, especially spray, as it makes it harder for the color to permeate your hair. I don't think a little gel, or mousse will hurt, just the heavier products. 3. I like a multi-color look and will vary the colors within a shade or two every now and then........light brown one month.......dark ash blonde next month.....whatever floats my boat. After a few applications over half a year I achieved the multi tone look and it automatically renews itself each application as the placement of streaks varies each time. I end up coloring darker some of the blonde from a previous use and then highlight some new spots too. The fiirst time I used this I did my whole head and would repeat within 4-6 weeks. It really is not totally permanent. However, some of the color does remain but looks about half a deep as the original as the weeks go by. Now I merely apply the color to roots and temple area, where my gray is. Then I use a very wide tooth comb and coat with the solution.........comb this through one area at a time, top to bottom, just once.......continuing around my head. Not all the hair is recolored. This way I am adding new, darker shades, and keeping the faded, lighter colors, along with some of my own natural growth. Again, great for the multi tonal look. 4. After rinsing you can apply highlights to wet or dry hair......I prefer dry as I literally 'brush' the strands like the French Bayalage method. While waiting for the lighting mixture to work the chosen strands will benefit from a redabbing of the cream or at least a little wetting to keep the mixture wet enough to work into the hairs. I find that if I paint the spots I want and then cover my head with saran wrap and a towel if you don't want to look too weird ;) and then wait the full desired time, the hair lightens best. They stick you under the dryer in salons......heat really helps and the saran wrap captures body heat well. Don't try to do too many strands as it is good to have a teaspoon or two left for recoating should it be taking a bit too long to get to the color you want and you want to recoat. There is not that much mixture to begin with. 5. Professionals disagree on whether the hair should be 'wet' or 'dry' when highlighting. I prefer dry as when the hair is dry I can see better how the curls/layers/waves are falling thus aiding in the positioning of my streaks.....which as I said I actually brush on with the brush applicator included in the kits. Also, and I think this is really important for those of you with short hair, or long hair you like to wear up or frenchbraided once in a while........When applying highlights lift up hair around your head.......here and there......and brush on a little lightener scattered all over the underneath hair. This way the streaks will appear when underhair is exposed adding dimension and natural, sun kissed look. These streaks don't get as light as the ones around your face and that is the look stylists go for. 6. Also, I love a few very light streaks around my face and the lightener in this kit doesn't go too light easily. So, now I pull strands I want very light forward onto my face to keep separate from the rest of the head and highlight them later with a separate kit. There are several quick lighting ones available........inexpensive and easy to 'paint on'......though I actually 'coat them well' to really get the bleach into them. I only do this to two or three strands on either side of face (near ear, mid head, temple area)......and then about three across the top.......positioning not too evenly apart so it looks more natural. I don't care for the 'every three hole' in the cap look. You don't have to leave them on your face when coated. Just push them back over the other hair. They will be stiff and won't lean heavily on the newly colored hair and if they do touch they won't harm anything. These strands will lighten pretty quickly as they are not too thick. You can recoat them too as you wait if they dry out but they should get to that super light shade you want........be patient. When completed and all is washed out be sure to lather on the enclosed conditioner, though I often use a more heavy duty treatment.......and leave on for an hour or so. It isn't necessary, but you'll be amazed at how soft your newly colored/highlighted hair will be.....which isn't always the case for these jobs. I know this sounds like a big hairy deal. No pun intended. There are many little steps to follow, but they are all easy and the results are more than worth it. I usually do this on a saturday morning.......warn everyone that it is 'do my hairs' day ;) and it takes about three hours from start to finish. A small price to pay with a little inconvenience.......but I'd rather have the $250 in my pocket and besides I get to do it my way. Hair dressers don't ever seem to get it just the way I want. ps One more important tip: If the color is too brassy for your taste it can be nicely subdoed with a 'color rinse' like FanciFul. Frivolous Fawn is great for us light brown with blonde highlights. pps I dab my fading eyebrows with some of the base color with a Qtip.......not the lashes!! This won't last as long as the full job but you'll get a couple of weeks of nicely colored brows so important espcially for us 'boomers.' I like a multi-color look and will vary the colors within a shade or two everynow and then........light brown one month.......dark ash next month.....whatever floats my boat. After a few applications over half a year I achieved the multi tone look and it automatically renews itself each application as the placement of streaks varies each time. I end up coloring darker some of the blonde from a previous use and then highlight some new spots too.
Review: Great color and highlight kit all in one box! - I use this every month to color and highlight my hair. I love the ease of use. Instructions are easy to follow. My hair color looks great and to be able to do it myself at a fraction of the cost of a beauty parlor is a great value for sure.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: is this product tested on animals?**
A: L'Oreal DOES test on animals.  They carefully word their policy to read something like, "...L'Oreal does not test on animals".  However, they have other agencies test their products out on animals for them.  Shame on them.  I will not buy anything L'Oreal for this reason.

**Q: I use to  use dark ash blonde with highlights and it was perfect. i fear one shade down will be too dark and one shade up too light. suggestions?**
A: When experimenting with new color always use a few pieces of hair to test results.

**Q: I just used this 2 days ago and it is fantastic; I was a little shy with the highlighting; can I go repeat the highlighting process again?**
A: Not with the open/left over chemicals and not on the same hair you highlighted. If you decide to do it, I would get a new kit and highlight hair that wasn't previously bleached with the highlighting part of the kit so it isnt damaged further. I loved this kit as well and just highlighted more each time I dyed every 6 weeks or so. I have taken a break after about 6 months of using the kit bc some of my hair that I always highlighted, like by my face, started to break. Just be careful with over processing.

**Q: Why did my highlights using 8.2 turn out brassy, not light blonde?  I colored over gray/white hair.**
A: Hi there! There are many reasons your highlights may be brassy. All hair darker than a light brown has red in its undertone which may be exposed during the lightening process. Factors such as how long you left the product on and your natural hair color can provide different results.  We recommend you try our EverPure Brass Toning Purple Shampoo to tone down the brassiness.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great color with hi lights
*by L***S on January 30, 2026*

I have been buying this brand for years. Love that it has hair color and hi lites included. Doesn't take long to do both processes. Color lasts for months. Never get burning or irritation. I have asthma and I don't have problems as I do with the strong smell with other hair colors. Highly recommand. Good price. Wish they had more color choices.
