Highlighting and Coloring my Sisterlocks

So I decided to color my hair again...and this time with highlights!!!

I bought two boxes of Softsheen Carson, Dark And Lovely- Golden Blonde(Go Intense! #10).

                                         

....and for my highlights:- Basic White Hair bleaching powder and hydrogen peroxide developer:

                                      

Steps I took to complete this process:

1.  I sectioned my hair in a number of rows as shown below.  This would allow me to manipulate the highlighted locks more easily:

2.  I selected the locks from each row that I wanted to highlight, and then applied the mixture of Basic White and hydrogen peroxide developer to them using the application brush and foil paper to wrap.

3.  I left it in for about ten minutes, then checked each to see if I have achieved the color that I want.


4. I then washed each row out, one at a time.  Used shampoo, and then I applied some conditioner (from the dark and lovely package). I made bantoo knots (chiney bumps) without washing out the conditioner.

5.  I wrapped the highlighted locks in foil paper, to protect them from the color I was about to apply to the rest of my hair.

6.  The dark and lovely color was then applied.  I used the application brush to apply it to the roots...then used theapplicator  bottle for the ends.

7.  See color fully applied below to front section only:

Left it in for 30 minutes. I timed each section section separately, so I started to wash out one section before the other was completed. By the time I finished washing one section the other would be completed.

All done finally!!!!
