Hairbrush for highlighting - what is it?

Many girls prefer not to go to beauty salons, but to create fashionable hairstyles at home. And this is often helped by a special comb for highlighting. But what is this accessory, how to use it? You will learn about this in this article.

What is a hairbrush for highlighting?

As a rule, the master of hairdressing art does not use this accessory. Hairbrush for highlighting is more suitable for home original painting, when there is no possibility to contact a specialist.

The accessory is a plastic comb, one end of which has wide teeth and the other end has a pointed shape. Thus, a woman can independently allocate the desired strands with an acute tip. And wide teeth allow you to distribute the clarifying solution in strands.

Sometimes it is possible to find models of a comb, in which instead of teeth there is a rigid bristle from an artificial pile. However, as practice shows, there is no particular difference between two different combs.

Hairbrush for highlights - how to use?

In order to perform highlights at home, you need:

1. Prepare the clarifying mixture by mixing the blue powder and the oxygen.
2. Carefully comb the hair, highlight the strands that will be stained.
3. Apply the clarifying mixture to the comb and treat with it every strand.
4. Leave the mixture on the hair for 10 to 30 minutes (depending on the desired shade), and then rinse with warm water.
5. Be sure to apply a restorative balm for colored hair.

Disadvantages of staining with a comb

The biggest disadvantage of self-coloring is that it is very difficult to make it smooth and high-quality. But the comb does not guarantee that the strand will be lightened completely. It is possible that after washing your head you will notice that the staining turned out to be stains, and the shade does not suit you at all. Therefore, when using a comb for melirovaniya at home, it is very important to help a friend or relative.

However, the most reasonable solution will be going to a beauty salon, where a professional of his or her business will make a qualitative painting, which you do not have to regret later. A hairbrush is best reserved for applying home masks to restore and nourish the hair. After all, with this task, the hairdresser's accessory will cope 100%.
