words of advice! Be VERY CAREFUL highlighting your own hair...I tried it once and it came out like I had leopard spots, needless to say I had to go to a salon and get it fixed! Anyways I used Herbal Essences to try to Highlight and it came with a comb...hence the spots the gel didn't move from the spot you start it in! I would try anything else or if you looking to get it done somewhere cheap try a local beauty school they normal have a day or week you can come in and get any beauty service done for a fraction of the price. Just make sure to ask for SR in the program that way you get someone who knows what they are doing,but the teachers are always around so it won't be like they mess up!

I have a friend who is very good at dying her own hair and has done so for several years without severe damage. She swears that the only way to do it properly is to get salon grade chemicals.

We go to Shellys here in London to get the stuff. They have the colours and the books it was only slightly more expensive initally as you have to get a application brush and mix bowl. BUT the dye and peroxide I purchased will do my hair (which is shoulder lenght and dense) twice. So, I would suggest that.
