Since discovering hair dye at 16, I have been constantly to-ing and fro-ing across the entire blonde-brown spectrum. I recently dyed my hair brown as going away over summer had turned my blonde hair yellow, and I couldn’t be bothered to deal with bleaching and silver shampoo. I suit more colours when I’m blonde, but don’t feel comfortable being extremely blonde anymore so decided to do a DIY highlight. I’ve done this a few times before and am pretty adept at it, but do not try this if you are a hair dye virgin!
I went for chunky highlights around my face, thinner highlights around the back and underneath, and very lightly dip dyed ends. I also only highlighted from the ears down, and left it on for about 5 – 10 minutes less than the recommended time for natural looking highlights.

What do you think? Have you ever attempted highlights at home?
