Hi! I'm a hairstylist and I think I could help you with that one. But you are going to have to spend a bit of money, but definately cheaper then going to a place to get it done.


Highlighting your own hair can be tricky, though, so make sure you're prepared before you start. I'll help you step by step:


1. Pick the color: Check out your natural color, and choose a dye that is two to three shades lighter. For more obvious highlights, you may want to buy a highlighting kit that is just bleach. Beginners should stick with making subtler changes, though--mistakes are much easier to hide this way.


2. You'll need:


* Lightener: What creates the actual highlights.





* Latex gloves: Get as snug a fit as possible that still allows for ease of movement.





* Brushes: An acrylic brush, a half-inch to a quarter-inch size, will prove very useful for accurate application of color to your hair. Even if you're using a kit, a brush is really invaluable to your highlighting success.


3. Prepare your hair: Use a good clarifying shampoo a couple of days before you plan on highlighting your hair. This will clear out all the buildup from dirt, natural oils, and styling products you use on a regular basis, and make your hair more receptive to the color. However, try to avoiding shampooing your hair on highlighting day--you want some of the natural oils to remain, as they will protect your hair and scalp from too much chemical stress.


4. Before you start make sure that you have:

* The color





* Gloves





* Brushes





* A towel or rag to protect your clothing





* A highlighting cap, should you choose to use it, or clips to keep each section of highlighted hair away from the rest of your head





* A timer





* Dry hair that's free of snarls--give it a good roots-to-ends combing to evenly spread its natural oils and detangle it.





5. Get going: Following instructions, mix the color. Take a brush and apply the color to each section of hair you want highlighted, working from the back of your head to the front. This way you won't get lightener on your arms--or anywhere else it's not supposed to be--as you work.


6.Follow the plan: For a natural look, keep the highlighted sections thinner, and stick to the top layer of hair only. For bolder looks, make the sections thicker. Be sure to spread the color evenly from roots to ends, and secure each section with a clip to keep it under control.


7. Be patient: Set your timer to the appropriate time. You can use the wait to rinse out your brushes and clean up any mess you may have made. When you're ready, take the clips out of your hair and rinse according to instructions. If you did it right, you should now have beautiful highlighted hair.How to get blonde highlights without going to get your hair done?
Well, I believe the stylist covered everything important...but a few tips.


Be careful if you buy something from the drugstore. Peroxide and even most blonde hair kits will give you an orange-y color. Go for ash or even double ash, even the neutral coloring kits can look a bit brassy.


I know you don't want to spend the money (I certainly don't) but getting it done professionally is by far the safest way. I used to do my own hair, and while it looked pretty good, it never looked as good as when I got it done in a salon. And as far as the roots go, highlights show roots so much less than all-over color. You can go a few months without it really showing bad, unless your hair is flat or extremely thin.
Use lemon. If you put lemon in your hair before going out in the sun, it will bring out your natural highlights. Try not to get it on your scalp though, your better off putting it in your hair while its down and then putting it up after wards.





If you want, you can even use lemon juice and water and put them in a spray bottle together and spray it, but again don't get it on your scalp.





Make sure you are going out in the sun before you decide to smell like a lemon for the day.





Don't use sun in, it messes with your hair. I know this one girl that used sun in on her blond hair and her hair turned a tinted green, and another girl that used it had an orange tint in there hair after.
while in the sun outside, take a lemon and squeeze the juice out of it while running it down a strand of your hair. if you stay in the sun for long enough, this always works. it did for me!





btw, this only works if you have blond hair already.
A frosting kit from walgreens or CVS.. they come with a cap you put on your head and pull the hair through. It's time consuming but it looks better than foiling, in my opinion because it looks more natural.
well i find my hair products at target or wallmart.....there is this prouduct that ou can do it yourself and it comes with this cool brush....try this out....

Vinegar....CAREFULLY!
Buy a home frosting kit and do it yourself, about $10 with shampoo and all.
Lemon juice or vinegar.
get some dye at cvs and it will be right
Back in the old days when I was in high school, we put lemon juice in our hair and sat out in the sun. :-)
Get friendly with a hairstylist!!!
spray lemon juice in it and go out into the sun
use ';sun in'; and do it with the hairdryer
