Rub a dime-sized amount of petroleum jelly along your hairline, including around your ears and the back of your neck.
This will help prevent the dye from staining your skin.Work the dye into your hair starting with the roots and moving toward the ends. If you have longer hair, you may want to use a comb to help get the mixture through your hair. Do not use the comb you normally use on your hair to style it. Make sure your hair is completely saturated. Don’t overlook the areas around your ears and at the nape of your neck.
Pile your hair on top of your head and wrap a plastic bag tightly around your scalp.
Secure the bag with a plastic hair clip. The plastic bag will hold heat in and allow the chemicals to develop.
Leave the dye on your hair for the time specified in the instructions.
Rinse it out thoroughly, making sure the water runs completely clear. Apply any conditioner that came with your dye according to the instructions.Wait at least 48 hours after dying your hair dark to apply the blond highlights. If you have sensitive skin or hair, wait at least a week or see a hair stylist for advice on when it will be safe for you to highlight your hair.
