I used frost and tip and now i have overly highlighted strands of hair. How can I correct this? I have short hair so I know it is easy to just cut but I need help asap.

Hmm...I've used this product for umpteen years. If you've overdone it, your best bet is probably to ask your hairdresser for help. If you try to "fix" it you might make it look worse. I would steer clear of this (do it yourself) on longer hair. Sorry-I know this isn't the answer you wanted.

Not knowing your basic hair color, it is difficult to say..However, why not take this opportunity to add a touch of light caramel strands by using Clairol Nice 'n Easy Hair color 116B ...Mix the color and with your hairbrush dip in mixture and brush through your hair very lightly once at the crown...once on eac side and once in the back of your hair. Test for color change at 5 minutes... 8 minutes..etc until you see the desired shade of caramel you like. Sure beats going to a pricey hair salon and I think you will be pleased. If your frosting of caramel comes out too heavy, just repeat this process with Clairol frost and tip blonde color Not knowing your basic hair color, it is difficult to say..However, why not take this opportunity to add a touch of light caramel strands by using Clairol Nice 'n Easy Hair color 116B ...Mix the color and with your hairbrush dip in mixture and brush through your hair very lightly once at the crown...once on eac side and once in the back of your hair.

try using the conditioner that came with the package and leave it in for a long time. the highlights seem to fade fast, so in a few daysit will look fine

the most I can suggest to you is picking a dye out that you really like the color of. The frosting will suck up the color of dye -- or call the number on the box for advice.Hope this helps

The trickiest part, I think, is just trying to section your hair so you color just the roots and not the ends. If you can do that, you'll be fine. I've used this kit a handful of times now and the only thing I did once was get a bit darker ends than I wanted, but it was because the hair was short in that section. The colors come our very luminous, which I love.

Hi, Jenelle! No you can't. The hair melts with either of those things. It's only for cutting. Sux, lol! =)

The double ceramic had a weak spring - my hair would fall out and it was impossible to curl my hair. The nano tourmaline is great - just the tip is bad. If you have a craft store around, go buy clay or some other ceramic type material you can mold and that will dry into a hard form. I used sculptey to make a tip for myself and it fits really well onto the end (because of those fins in the iron tip) and doesn't fall off at all when I'm using it. Doesn't heat up either. Had this not worked, i'd have bought the double ceramic, used my craft knife to cut some of the plastic pins off the inside, and swapped tips with the nano.

Hmm you bleach your hair, do a strand test first , test the purple, you want the purple come through bleach completely, or highlights , I hope this helps

I've colored my hair and then used the highlights with no problem. It is essentially a bleaching process and the bleach will cut through even previously dyed hair. Hope this helps!

I have very fine female hair. I just dip the tips of my fingers in the product and apply only to the ends of hair. I will usually do this 2 to 3 times with my shortish hair. I'm talking about a teeny amount of product. I then run a comb through a bit to distribute it a little more evenly. I had almost given up on finding a finishing product like this for my baby fine hair.

If I remember right it did help when I was in a similar situation. The best thing I find is to choose a shade that is marked COOLER to combat brassiness. The Preference and Excellence products are marked WARMER and COOLER. You can also get red/gold killer (an additive) at a beauty supply or on Amazon. Be sure to read instructions.

I also found this a bit startling! I put the colour on my roots, left it for 10 mins, put the rest on for another 20 mins and then did everything else as the instructions and my hair is just lovely!

I tried flipping the ends with a straightener...not my finest moment. melted fake hair all over the place. Curling irons don't get as hot...but try at your own risk.

I've had the same problem! I don't think it would make any difference if you treated it any less rough. I think it comes from the continual heat that makes the plastic brittle. I have had them fall off just laying in my cabinet. I bought another one and the heat on it is not enough for my hair so I am not pleased with it at all. I have long hair and the ends get curled but the rest of my hair stays straight. I liked my first one at first but after the teeth fell off It got to where I could not use it. Sorry, wish I could have been more positive and encouraging.

I am having the same issue and I tried different things like using a hot blow dryer every 5-ten minutes so the color can take on the grays,I also tried leaving it on longer and also adding sage to the mix,using hrgrogen peroxide beforehand to soften the gray hair. I read all their instructions and although it did leave my hair nice and shiny it did not cover most of my grays and I will not be using this product ever again. i tries 4 times so i just give up and will try Tints of Nature next.

You need to use 10% developer, and you are going to be very happy with the result. Trust me, I have a lot of stubborn gray hair, and I am using 10 . It covered all the gray in my roots.

I dont think u can. U would have to do as the other person suggested and superglue the tip back on or get another curling iron. I havent run into that problem yet. Sorry

0n virgin hair? Try it on a strand. First try 20 mins. 0n the other side, leave it on the (underneath) strand for 45 min. [BTW, the color turns out fuchsia pink.]

I don't know exactly what went wrong here but I experienced the sane thing in the front of my hair . I am assuming either I left it in too long or I shouldn't have straighten so close to my roots since the product straightens the roots already . It could be flakes from scalp burning .

Your hair is weak enough from bleaching and by applying high temperature while doing carotine treatment may damage your hair even more. I had half head highlights and it didn't so much damage to my hair. But it might be different in your case.
