3. Mix the hair dye as described in the paint instructions.

4. Comb the bottom layer of hair along the neck with a width of 0.5 cm.

5. Remove the rest of the hair so as not to get in the way, stabbing them up or to the side with clips or hair clips

6. From the separated lower part of the hair, select a strand 0.5 cm wide.

7. Put a strip of foil under the selected strand of hair so that one end of the foil is located at the roots of the hair, and the other at the very end.

8. Brush completely covered with a strand of hair paint, moving from the roots to the tips.

Useful tips:

- In order for highlighting to have a natural effect, do not choose a dye that differs from the natural or current color of your hair by more than 3 shades.

- If you do not strive for naturalness, on the contrary, your goal is a bold and defiant look, dye your hair with thicker strands.

- If you bleed your hair for the first time, paint a moderate amount of strands. You can always paint additional strands, but not earlier than in a week or two, so as not to damage the hair. And for this you will need a new set, as the finished paint remains active only for a limited period of time, after which unused paint should be discarded immediately.

- When you make highlights, put on old clothes and cover the floor around you with towels so that there are no stains on the floor and clothes.

- Always do a test stain of the strand, as indicated in the instructions, to avoid the possibility of an allergic reaction. In addition, it is a great opportunity to check how the final hair color will turn out.
