A lot of people think they’re doing something wrong when it turns out orange, but this is just because they don’t know how to do it correctly.

If you want highlights that aren’t too light, you should choose a shade with some brown tones in them.

How to highlight hair at home without foil

Instead of foil, you can use plastic wraps for the same purpose; they will do the same job. You will just need plastic wraps, scissors and dye.

We use tin foil to wrap up the piece of hair after we have put the dye on it.

With foil, you can have complete control over the color of your hair, plus it helps you separate the hair perfectly.

Some experienced hairdressers don’t use foil, but you should definitely use one if you are a beginner.

If you want to get highlights naturally without using neither foil nor bleach, you should keep on reading.

Can you highlight hair with color instead of bleach?

You can highlight your hair with color if the hair is ” virgin” – in the sense that you haven’t dyed it before completely. 

If you have dyed your hair or really dark natural hair, you will have to go with bleach. 

Bleach is mostly used for any color base because it can lighten your hair fast. Hair bleaching is a chemical dye technique that helps you get highlights, but it can damage your hair.

If you haven’t bleached your hair before, you shouldn’t try it out now because you can have damaged hair.

There are some products that you can put on your hair or in the bleach to help your hair recover from it easily.

Hair dye damages your hair less, so it is always a better option. However, we do have another option for you, so keep on reading.

How to highlight hair at home naturally

You can highlight your hair at home naturally by trying out these things below:

• Mix organic lemon juice with conditioner

• Increase doses of vitamin C 

• Apply a cinnamon and honey mask every week

• Use sage tea for rinsing your hair

• Use apple cider vinegar or hydrogen peroxide

The last one can be a bit damaging to your hair, so we recommend you try everything else first.

If you want to try apple cider vinegar or hydrogen peroxide, you should add some cooking oil to your hair care routine for recovery.

You should know that all of these options above are less effective than dying your hair. However, 90% of them don’t damage your hair, and you will notice a change.

If you are young and you want highlights, we recommend using natural methods first. You will need a lot of patience, but you will be happy in the end.
