If you have very dark hair, before dying your hair blonde, even just a few strands, buy a bleach (not clorox). Let it sit in the desired parts of your hair for 30 minutes to an hour until it is entirely stripped of color. Once the hairs have been stripped of their dark color, THEN you can either choose to use a toner to make the now white hair more ashy or blonde or buy a dye and then tone the color to your preference. But if you just use blonde dye on dark brown or black hair, the blonde can’t compete with the dark tone of the hair so you’ll get an unpleasant brassy-orange color. You’ll have to bleach the color out from the hair first so you can start with a “blank canvas”, per se.
ik it's been 4 years but I have a question. I have black hair and want the ends of my hair to be red do I have to bleach the parts I want red then buy red dye and put it on the parts I bleached?
After going to the salon and getting my highlights my nine-year-old son wants blonde highlights for himself. Being a girl I've obviously dyed my hair before but I just wanted to check to make sure I gave him the best look possible so thank you so much for the tips! Exactly what I was looking for now he will look really good for his 10th birthday on Thursday.
Simple and short. as far as I've looked, your tutorial is the best on youtube. I will hopefully do some pink and purple highlights this weekend. Thank you.
For black hair, you mentioned that a brown dye is best for highlights. But what shade of brown do you recommend? I want to get the sort of natural look you got, but just enough to make it stand out. Thanks for the help with this video man! And one other question, do you straighten your hair? Because you have immaculate looking hair.
Came for the hair tips, and unexpectedly got beautiful messages at the end of the videos. Absolutely fantastic, keep up the positive, uplifting messages man. Subbed.
if you have darker hair than this guy, please don't try doing this at home! your hair will most likely turn orange. this guy has the PERFECT hair color for going blonde because his natural color is already dark ash blonde with no orange tones, his color bleaches out very easily. so for guys with dark dark brown/black hair, go to the salon for your highlights! or at least have a professional help you pick the right formula, because box colors will leave you orange. If you have black hair and you absolutely want to try highlighting your own hair, do not use the super blonde kit. Use L'oreal QuickBlue Bleach (from Sally's) and 30 volume developer. Mix these ingredients until you get a very thick creamy consistency, then apply like you see in the video. If you want subtle highlights (think what you would get from spending a week at the beach) leave it on for 30 minutes. For more dramatic highlights, leave it in for 1 hour.
Mitch Smith his hair is not “dark ash brown”. His hair is ashy brown/black. If you have dark hair, you’ll have to bleach the strands of hair and then tone them or color them to your desire. It’s just important to strip the specific strands of hair of its dark color before going and dying it or it will look brassy because the blonde won’t be able to compete with the dark tone.
Hey Dre Drexler, what are the materials you used called? Meaning the hair clip you used to how your hair & the thing you use to apply the dye in your hair??
What was the little tool you used to color your hair? I'm not a native English speaker, so I'm always learning. I want to dye my hair like yours--please reply back.
I've been thinking about getting highlights in my hair,however word got around at my work and I'm already being poked fun at for it (as its viewed frowned upon) I want to get highlights but the backlash is already overwhelming. should I still go through with it?
do what ever you want, don't care about what others say, it will turn out good anyway , it could just be because of jealousy but don't listen to them and if u wanna highlight your hair than do it.
heeyy broo i really like your video...thank you i just have a question to ask...you put the diy on the top of your hair..how does it apear on the top and bottom after washing it ?
Hazween Aidiq bleaching is not necessary,you cand just use like a medium blonde dye but make sure is an ashy shade,othewise the highlights might me a bit orangey!
Two things. 1. What color highlight would u recommend get for medium brown hair? 2. Does this little brush thing that you're using to put the highlights on come with the box?
I just bought the super blonde kit so I can try this out. One question: What are you using to apply the lightener to your hair? Are you just using a toothbrush or something else? Please respond at your earliest convenience so I can try this DIY highlights thing. Thanks so much!
Dre Drexler Dude what colour Should I use to highlight black hairs? and what did you do to give your hairs that much volume? did you blow dry your hair? I would appreciate your response. Thanks
yooo I came here to learn how to highlight my friends hair I didn't expect to be hit with the inspiration like that 😂 the messages at the end of your videos are the best, thanks for that, subscribed
If you want a natural look.... use foil. What you're doing is technically balayage/free hand painting, and you're being really heavy-handed with it. The COLOR has a more natural finish, but the placement is reminiscent of zebra stripes. If you insist on doing this at home, I recommend having a bit less color on your brush, feather in the color much more lightly, and finally take smaller sections and partings.
hey bro great vid.... however I've got net black hair and I'm not all for bleaching is there a way I can highlight without using the bleach and the foil ?
hello great video! i have very dark brown hair and im looking for a natural look. i was wondering if you know of a product to use or if i just use the product from the video and wait longer or less time before washing the paste off
When I was about your age I would do much the same thing. Share my secrets with my friends. Always in the privacy of my own home. Because it wasn't generally accepted that a guy talked about his beauty secrets. I'm proud and happy that you live in a world that allows you to share your tips. Also, I look forward to your homilies at the end. Be well Dre.
I have a similar hairstyle to you but quite a bit longer on top, I'm worried about the bleach being near my eyes when I have my hair forwards. Do you reckon it would work slicking it backwards?
Dre Drexler I have a question so when I go to the salon to buy the colour I want do I just buy the box and then mix it with what the box came with and then apply it with a brush or do I have to add something else to the colour? Please respond?...
Guys if you have dark to medium brown search for a light brown, intense ash dye with enough cool pigments so you don't get orange or red hair, for example the intense ash dyes from Ion you can get them at sally get the 5.7, or use a high lift ash dye
Is it possible to do blue highlights? It seems cool like maybe highlights and then the middle/top of the hair strands actual blue color, can I do that without dying my hair blonde?
I know this video is pretty old, but just tried to color / highligth for the first time with "ultra blonde" since i got almost the identical hair like you do...on the first application ive been a bit cautios so it almost didnt color at all..then i went balls deep and the result went out pretty nice, a bit darker brown / bronze like you have it. Next time im sure i can do it even better, amazing tutorial though!
buddy just one question what difference will it make if highlights are done with that saloon cap and foils and between this ? will the saloon one look better ?
Great video .. I'm looking forward highliting my kid's hair but what did you apply in the end for it made highlighted locks look rich in color and shiny before it's dried and eventually looked awesome? Thankx and peace :-)
First time in history someone delivered an epic speech after streaking their hair in the washroom. love it.
Best part
Bleach your hair it's what god wants
You there
Just saw this. Inspirational messages was in this guys destiny 😂😂

You showed two superblonds...the one with a guy in the cover and the other with a girl. Do i have to use both or either one
You should do a spoken word. I feel there is more God has for you to share, my dude. You should do it! 🙌🏻
Thank you!
I have black hair and a haircut like yours, I want to paint like you to brown and do the hues.. how i can do that ?

How beautiful your highlight is. Thanks for your post. I can do hilight easily in my home because of your advice. So happy!
Nicee, looks dopeeee. What brand and color dye is that and what hair products do you use to have volume. I use black label UK
Really good job on the highlights! hopefully have a go at doing this on my own hair some time soon
I have a similar hairstyle to you but quite a bit longer on top, I'm worried about the bleach being near my eyes when I have my hair forwards. Do you reckon it would work slicking it backwards?
can you make a video on how you do your hair bc I am trying this hairstyle and I just can't figure it out. I currently have just the basic flat hair
Dre Drexler I have a question so when I go to the salon to buy the colour I want do I just buy the box and then mix it with what the box came with and then apply it with a brush or do I have to add something else to the colour? Please respond?...
What brand and color did you use? Did you mix anything or did you just only use one product?
Came for a highlight tutorial but ended drooling instead .
Before highlight did you use wax for the hairstyle ?
Guys if you have dark to medium brown search for a light brown, intense ash dye with enough cool pigments so you don't get orange or red hair, for example the intense ash dyes from Ion you can get them at sally get the 5.7, or use a high lift ash dye
Them higlights bro. I had a question. What tool do you use when dyeing your hair? The one you put the solution on.
Is it possible to do blue highlights? It seems cool like maybe highlights and then the middle/top of the hair strands actual blue color, can I do that without dying my hair blonde?
I am literally going to have your hairline, color, everything. You should be modeling dude

Hey thanks a lot! I appreciate all the love and support!
That turned out fantastic!
What is the best color for hair highlights for guys with brownish skin/not-white-not-black?
Your hair looks great. I kinda have the same hair style as you . I'm going to try to do this hope it comes as good as yours.
You did an awesome job with the highlights, you made it look easy. I hope I can do it...
So I have pretty dark hair should I use this color that ur using or do you recommend a different type of blonde dye ?
What is the method that you use to highlight your hair? Also what is the second product that you use??
