What is the best permanent highlights hair product that would go good on black hair?

i want to get high lights on my black hair but most of the things i see in the stores say not recommended for black hair you have to have at least brown hair for it to show. so what can i use.What is the best permanent highlights hair product that would go good on black hair?
Your best bet is going to be to go with a professional grade bleach( i recommend wella lite), and 30 volume hydrogen peroxide this can be bought at sallys beauty supply. I really recommend going to get this done at a salon since black will usually stop lifting around the orange stage and requires a toner.


Here is my advice on this:


if your hair is naturally black and you have no color anywhere on it includeing anywhere on your ends then its going to be much easier.


If you have permanent color on your hair its going to be much harder to break through that pigment.


With out seeing your hair, my best advice to you would be to use bleach because I can't reccomend a color to you when I don't know what level you are or what your hair type is like. Your idea of black could be different from my idea of black (a true black color is around a level one and contains blue underlying pigments). So go to sallys and pick up a tub of wella lite and 30 volume peroxide the hardest thing about this is your probably going to want to streak these through, which can cause spotting on other hair. Have a friend come over and go from the crown of your head to the front, take horizontal sections about a quarter of an inch thick and weave out a few peices from that.put a foil underneath, put the lightener on and get all the hair into the foil, don't go too close to the edge of the foil where it meets your root, leave about a pin sized gap open just incase if the lightener swells, it may cause spotting at the scalp and leak out from the foil. Do a few peices on the sides( try to take vertical sections on the sides), you can just make it some what random in where you place your peices. take your color brush and throughly saturate the strands of hair with the lightener this way it lightens even and the product doesn't dry out during processing.


from here...keep checking your last foil (or if you just streaked a few through, keep watching the last peice you streaked) When you get to the shade you like wash and condition your hair. If it seems orange go to sallys and pick up a color gloss with blue violet pigments, I'm guessing at a level 7 since level 7 is generally the orange stage....the person at the counter at sallys should beable to give you some good advice as to what to use. or you can go to a salon and ask them to tone it for you, just say you would like a color gloss put on that will tone the highlights you have.





Also when mixing your bleach, do a scoop of bleach and add an equal part of peroxide, mix really well, and note the consistancy...you want something more like pancake batter.





I hope I gave you some good ideas on how to go about this. Some of the cheaper salons like hair 2000 and such, aren't always the best but you can find some good stylists hidden within sometimes. High lights are generally pretty easy to do and I think it would come out much better if you just went to a salon to get it done. I think its like 40 or less for a partial at fantastic sams. good luck !What is the best permanent highlights hair product that would go good on black hair?
You probably have to have the color stripped out at a salon. Then they may bleach the strips in order to color them whatever color you want.
