How can I get bright red highlights in my hair by doing it myself?
I tried the foil method for dying my hair and that didn't do good. Then tried the highlighting cap, but you can barely even see the highlights, it's light red. I wan't the highlights to be really red . the color I bought is really red but the Highlights didn't turn out the way I wanted. I left the dye in for 20 minutes like it said. How do I get really red highlights?

The darker it is, the longer you'll want it to stay. At least with the red. If you do decide to bleach it and help brighten the red, please remember to properly take care of your hair afterwards. Bleach can be very damaging to your hair if improperly taken care of. So first off, if you decide to bleach it to make it much brighter, I would suggest only bleaching it until your hair starts to get lighter.. Maybe half a shade. But I guess it really depends on how bright you want it. Brighter than the picture, Or same as, lighter than. After your hair has dried add in the red, and follow the instructions on both packages. It never hurts to go to a salon too. It'll be a bit pricey, but they can get your hair the way you want. [ Rena-Chan's advice column | Ask Rena-Chan A Question ]
