Lightening hair Want to try a highlighter in your hair?

Want to try a highlighter in your hair, but don't want to spring for the expense? Try a highlight pen - the kind you use on paper. Yellow for blondes, orange for brunettes or darker.

thats not good Comments By: rebecca on 2004-08-01 The person who said about the highighter in your hair it does not look very good and you can tell that you used highlighter I would not use this advice on anyone   duh duh duh Comments By: kendra on 2004-08-11 rebecca's right-- that looks BAD. Come one people. There's a difference between the two "highlights" for a reason... tsk tsk!   Good idea for trial and error Comments By: Anon on 2004-08-18 At least this trick will give you an idea for placement, thickness and amount of hightlights before putting the permanent stuff in. Duh!   haha Comments By: kate on 2004-09-13 i agree it looks bad. if you want to have a wacky hair day try pink highlighter, at least it will look like you meant to do it.   why be so thick Comments By: lulu on 2004-10-18 if you have tried this you must be as silly as the person who thought of the idea wot kind of person would put a pen highlighter in there hair in less it was a dare or sumit...   what???
