Madison Reed Light Works Balayage Highlighting Kit, Creates Natural-Looking Cool Toffee Highlights (Lazio - Brown), Amonia Free, Cruelty Free, 2 Step Process That Lightens & Tones Hair

Followed instructions exactly and did not do anything to my hair, only the ends like less than 1-2 of my ends got lighter, like just barely to be able to tell, my hair looks exactly the same as before. Just gonna go to a salon and get my hair done from now on. For $49 i was hoping for better results.

Love this!!! Will be using every 10 weeks or so

I purchased this product because it claimed to be an all-in-one solution for Balayage and included a tool to assist with the process. However, I found the tool difficult to use and ended up using a brush instead, I had already done the mixture, so I had to think fast, which defeated the purpose of purchasing the product. Additionally, after reading the instructions, I realized that it recommended only coloring half of the hair, which was not consistent with my understanding of Balayage. Moreover, there wasn't enough product to cover my whole hair. I would suggest visiting a local beauty supply store and purchasing the items separately, as the color did not turn out as expected. I chose the cool toffee shade, but it ended up looking redder/orange than I had anticipated, and I had to darken some areas. The product also had a strong effect on my hair and resulted in a lot of split ends. In hindsight, I believe I could have achieved better results at a lower cost by purchasing the items separately. I initially bought this product for the sake of convenience, but it didn't live up to my expectations.

So after reading the package insert, it said not to use on Henna treated hair. I thought this was odd considering most people looking for a natural highlighting kit would be someone that uses a henna based hair color. I used it anyway because returning it is hard where I live. It turned out OK, it was just more golden blond rather than vanilla.

I have blondish/light brown hair with some visible gray at the crown. I wanted to have the hair I had before the grays; without the two step process. I was a little concerned about blotches because I don't have long wavy hair. My granddaughter applied it for me and was able to do a wonderful job blending my natural hair color/the grays and the balayage. And no splotches. She did use foils and a regular hair color applicator brush. Quite a savings from the salon! and my hair feels soft and healthy.
