Many girls prefer not to go to beauty salons, but to create fashionable hairstyles at home. And a special comb for highlighting often helps with this. But what is this accessory, how to use it? You will learn about this in this article.
What is a highlight comb?
As a rule, hairdressers do not use this accessory. Highlighting comb is more suitable for original home dyeing, when it is not possible to consult a specialist.
The accessory is a plastic comb with wide teeth on one end and the other end has a pointed shape. Thus, a woman can independently select the desired strands with a sharp tip. And wide teeth allow you to distribute the clarifying solution over the strands.
Sometimes you can find models of combs, in which instead of teeth there is a hard bristle made of artificial pile. However, as practice shows, there is not much difference between two different combs.
Highlighting comb - how to use?
In order to perform highlighting at home, you need:
- Prepare a brightening mixture by mixing blue powder and oxygen.
- Carefully comb the hair, highlight the strands that will be dyed.
- Apply a brightening mixture to the comb and treat each strand with it.
- Leave the mixture on the hair for 10 to 30 minutes (depending on the desired shade), and then rinse with warm water.
- Be sure to apply a restoring balm for colored hair.
Cons of coloring with a comb
The biggest disadvantage of self-staining is that it is very difficult to make it even and high-quality. But the comb does not guarantee that the strand will be fully clarified. It is possible that after washing your hair you will notice that the staining turned out to be stained, and the shade does not suit you at all. Therefore, when using a comb for highlighting at home, the help of a friend or relative is very important.
However, the most reasonable solution would be a trip to a beauty salon, where a professional in his field will make high-quality coloring, which you will not have to regret later. And it’s better to save the comb for applying home masks for hair restoration and nutrition. Indeed, a hairdressing accessory will cope with this task 100%.
