[quote=Anonymous]I have been coloring and highlighting/lowlighting my hair at home for around 20 years. I have black hair and I am 60% gray. I use Naturtint color that I discovered at Whole Foods. I get it in bulk from online stores and that way I don't have to pay shipping and my price per box works out to around $8. Use whatever brand of hair color you want. When I put in highlights, I put the highlights first (a lighter color in the same color family) and the next day I color my hair with one color all over. When I put in lowlights, I do the all over color first and then put in the darker lowlights the next day (a very different color family - think deep burgundy lowlights over brown hair). In your shoes, I would - Match the color that you have for the bulk of your hair right now. Then, evaluate the roots and the patch of faded hair after all-over coloring to see if you need to blend further. ONLY if you think it needs more blending then you should go for subtle highlights/lowlights using colors that are several shades lighter and darker than the main color. I would suggest do that the next day. I mainly use the cheap (and fantastic) Revlon Color-Silk colors to do the highlights and lowlights. Since I don't need the whole box for highlights and lowlights, I use different plastic containers to mix the amount of color I need. Don't use a heavy hand while adding highlights/lowlights. Less is more. And it is ridiculously easy.[/quote]
