Qualified Hairdressers - please advise me on Highlighting my strawberry-blonde hair?

I've got natural strawberry-blonde hair and want to have pale blonde highlights for a summer look. So today in Sainsburys I bought this kit by Clairol called Born Blonde Highlights.



Firstly, what colour will my hair turn out to be? On the back of the box it tells you what colour you'll get if you're already blonde or brunette, but it doesn't mention red-heads.



Secondly, do I apply it on wet hair, dry hair, clean hair, dirty hair??? On the box it says 'do not apply to freshly washed hair', but my hair currently has Frizz-Ease Serum and hairspray on it, so will the bleach get through these products or do I need to wash them out first?

it will tell you to apply on unwashed hair as it is best to have had a day or so of your scalps natural oils there to help protect your scalp from the bleach, as for products- it is best not to have any on but bleach will eat through all products so ultimately it doesn't really matter. as for the highlights, well i couldn't tell you if they will work or not as i have used the bleach and toners by clairol born blonde in the past but i have not heard of the highlights (i am guessing because they were specifically made for OTC use and i use the professional line) strand tests are the best way to determine if a product will work or not, and if so how long to leave it on to get the desired effect. if i were you though (if you really want to do this at home) then i would take the colour back and pick up this one instead: http://www.allcures.com/shared/product.a... it is the best OTC highlighter.

you need to do a stand test to see wot colour its going to be ,(cut a few strands of hair mix a very small amount of the colour up and leave it on the strands of hair )it will take about 45Min's to1hour for your hair colour,it will dry your hair out ,and you say you use frizz ease so that tells me its got a curl to it ,if i was you please go to hair dresses or get amobile to come to you ,but if you want to do it your self ,wash your hair tomorrow ,do the colour day after dont put anything in your hair ,dont over do the highlights ,thin strands ,even allover, do it on dry hair good luck ;)

Its would work out cheaper for you to have it carried out in a salon.
