L'Oreal Frost and Design Pull-Through Cap Highlight Kit, Champagne H85

I was very scared to do my highlights at home. I’ve had bad outcomes in expensive salons, where my highlights have been orange or white so I figured doing it myself was pretty high risk. Guess what? I got perfect highlights! To be honest: It was an involved, difficult, and very fiddly process. The cap - at first I didn’t understand how the holes worked, because they don’t go all the way through. Pro tip: you have to poke the holes through yourself. And then it was hard to pull hair through with the crochet hooks. And the distribution of highlights using the holes wasn’t really correct. I did have to touch it up afterward with a few hand-painted foils (maybe 10 or 15). Still, I got really gorgeous highlights, some of the best I’ve ever had, by myself, at home, for 10 bucks, and all in about 45 minutes instead of in about three hours at the salon. Thank you, coronavirus: I will be doing my highlights at home from now on and saving $500 a year!

This was my quarantine self highlight. I was kind of annoyed while I was using it because of the time it takes (it made me really appreciate my hair colorist). However, the end results crazy awesome. I mean not as good as my $200-300 professional highlight, but for under $15 bucks I am amazed at how well it came out in the end. I used the smaller metal hook for “baby lights” ( some highlights were still a bit chunkier than I would I like.) The trick is to get lots and lots of small pulls of hair through the cap. Next time, depending on how long quarantine lasts, I think I could do a better job. Saved one packet of bleach for later to do some balayage (lots of YouTube’s on how to do this). I didn’t notice any noticeable difference from the blue toner. It’s not a proper toner like you would get from the store it’s more like a purple rinse. If you want a proper toner skip this one and buy a proper one.

I really was hesitant about purchasing a highlighter kit in a box, but was fed up with paying $100 at the salon and not really being happy with the results. Although I was apprehensive, I gave it a try, and was amazed with the results. This kit beats out any other highlighting kit out there. For one thing, they give you enough of everything you need (I have long hair), there was no brassiness in the outcome, and it was so easy to use. I will definitely be buying this again when I need a touch up.

L'oreal is my go to brand! Easy to use and my hair looks beautiful.. Thank you.

If you leave this on long enough it doesn't leave a red tint unlike other types I've used. Ditch the cap and use your fingers- much easier

I had not used a highlighting kit in years. But with the coved-19 virus, I no longer had access to my hairdresser. The order arrived very fast. The directions were easy to follow, and it was very easy! I love the color of my highlights. It turned out really pretty. I was impressed!

First time doing an at home highlight. My husband did it for me and I have to say, it turned out perfect. I will buy this product over and over again and never overpay for highlights at the salon again. Color is great and product was easy to use

First of all the cap is cheap, cheap! It was difficult to see the holes and it was hard to pierce the cap. I ended up using a different cap that I had. Then, I wasn't sure if I should use both the powder packets. The instructions didn't say there were two. I tried calling the 1800 number, but of course it was closed....because it was at night. So I checked online for reviews and someone else said they'd called the 1800 number with the same question. So I used both. With all that being said my hair turned out nicely. My hair is a medium brown and I kept it on for 28 minutes. I've been highlighting my own hair for over 40 years, but I don't usually use L'Oreal. What I usually use has a better cap and the powder is purple, which makes it easier to see that you've mixed the products well. I might use L'Oreal again because the results were good, but it will need to change the cap design.
