hair highlighting question

eefy

Hi,
I've been using semi permanent dyes in my hair for the last couple of years, (loreal castings, colour: light brown), which always comes out much darker!

My question is does this mean that I can't get highlights?

I know this was the case years ago when I tried to get highlights. I had to let the semi permanent colour grow out before they would do it for me.
this is not an option for me this time as I have a fair few greys that I just couldn't live with.

Generally not, no. Some colours don't lift well though, meaning the highlights won't take. In that case, the hardresser probably won't do it for you. I always vary between dying my hair brown myself, with permanent home dyes, and getting blonde highlights in the hairdressers.

Go to a couple of different salons and get some consultations. Most places will do them for free.

i'll go get a strand test done in a salon.
fingers crossed that it will work
