Alright so here's the deal. I have dark black hair. Like jet jet black. Now some of you may like that, and some of you may not. I for one did not! I was tired of trying on countless dye and harsh chemicals in my hair only to get my locks red. Eww. So i whipped up this secret from "the old country" and this is what happened... Ps. none of these pictures are mine, credits to whomever they belong to :)

Alright so you have dark hair? Or maybe you're a blond who wants summer highlights. Or maybe you're a cute redhead wishing for some strawberry colour on your head Or maybe you're like me. and you just want natural light brown highlights in your dark hair This is what you do. Go to your local dollar store
Once there ask the nice lady/man who works there for a bottle of Hydrogen Peroxide If your dollar store is like mine, they'll only carry 3% It's alright if they carry a higher percentage however be warned i haven't tried a higher percentage and i wouldn't risk it with anything higher because 3% is definitely enough...
Now take a little bit of the peroxide, just eyeball the amount to much much you'll be using on your hair You want enough to dampen your hair Place it in a small spray bottle I used an old one i found laying around the house...
Now if you bought a higher percentage then 3% you'll want to dilute the mixture with some good ol' H2O You want to half-and-half it.
Now spritz some of this stuff onto your hair! SPRAY SPRAY SPRAY! Please don't be too excited and spray it in your eyes, it will sting, and you will cry... (experience talking)
How much you want on your hair really depend on you, i just lightly dampen my hair with it Whip out your comb and brush your hair through Whip out some sunblock ( we dont want premature wrinkles do we ladies?) & later it onto your face
Step outside with you damp hair and sit in a bright sunny patch until your hair is dry That should take about 15-20 minutes or so.
VOILA! All done. The peroxide doesn't leave any residue or smell, it actually just smells like the shampoo you may have used this morning... (if you didn't shampoo or shower then SHAME ON YOU)
TIPS & Warnings! - Depending on the type of hair you have your locks may be dry for a bit form the SUN so, whip out some olive out & oil your hair -Olive oil naturally lightens your locks too :) - Please try and refrain from higher percentages of peroxide, 3% really works well, if for somereaosn you can get a hold of 3% then dilute it with water - You dont NEED the sun to lighten it, just the peroxide alone will do, but for highlights you want the sun, and quite a bit of it -If you want just some light highlights, spray your brush & brush your hair through with it -Hydrogen P breaks down in light so please remember to only take out as much as you need & close the cap quickly! -Make sure you get not only the top side of your hair but UNDER it too brush under & OVER -Use a bit at a time, it goes a LOONGG WAY - I did this treatment 3 times in a row and it worked really well :) I now have desired color that L'oreal couldn't give me, so try it out!
