My review of L'oreal Touch-On Highlights...
I always have had blonde highlights in the past during the summer months done by a salon. Things have changed since the 2 kids and I have been trying to dye my own hair but had yet to find a good product for highlights. I have dark brown hair and the highlight products were just not strong enough for my hair coloring.
Out comes L'oreal Touch-On Highlights and a $3 off coupon I figure what the heck, it's just hair, let's have some fun And for $9.99 perfect!
It is very simple directions and very simple to mix. It is blue dye so it helps you see where you are putting it. It comes with a little blue fingertip comb that you dip into the dye. Seems simple, no. It doesn't really get a lot of dye on it so you really have to dip it in more like a spoon and spoon it out. It got a little tricky when I had to do the right side with my right hand (because I am right-handed) and it was getting a little tangled but I was getting the dye on and that was my goal at the moment
I did chunkier patches because that is what I prefer. Do with it what you will.
I checked after the recommended 15 mins and it was not light enough. My hair is dark so I guessed it would take longer then the min time. I then checked back in at the maximum amount of time of 30 mins. Looked ok.
Washed it out, used Step 3 Conditioner the kit comes with and blew my hair dry.
It came out better then expected but nothing compared to a salon. It is very brassy and in the directions it states that they sell a product to take the brassy out but I think I will just see what happens in the next few days.
School is out and I am going to be home this week so not many people will see me
All and all I would try this product again but I would do thinner pieces of hair and really make sure that I get the dye on the entire strip of hair. I might also try a step down in color.
Here are some pictures

Of course it's not the same, I know when I get highlights I get a gloss over it that tones it down a bit. Maybe that's why you think it lookls brassy.
Otherwise I think it looks great. I wouldn't have the balls to do it myself.
Good for you!

I don't think it looks bad at all! you can get a toner from a beauty supply store and tone it down yourself if your really that un-happy, but IMO it looks good!

Thank you so much everyone! Today it looks more orangey. I am going to go get the Brass Banisher and see how that goes. What's the worst that can happen
