Well, my hair isn't THAT damaged but it's definitely on it's way if I don't leave it alone. I would just put highlights in it but I know it'd most likely turn to mush if I did

you know whats funny.. i've been getting my hair done since i was a sophomore in high school (8 years ago!) and i now have my cosmetology license and i still wont touch my own hair unless i'm doing it all one color or toning it. i have like black hair practically and will never do it myself or let someone else touch it with bleach other than my stylist... i learned the hard way

i dont do highlights with a cap i always do foils or balayage but for you ladies that do the cap frosting/higlighting whatever it is from the box at home... make sure the bleach doesnt touch the top of the cap and you shouldnt have any problems. bleach expands when it processes so thats why it can get under the cap and then you get spots! & also if you have black/dark brown hair.. the blonde highlighting kits that you get from the store will never get you blonde just orange. hth!

Thanks for the tips! Yeah I use the bleach for dark hair and the best I can get is bright yellowy-orange, which is why I always have to put another color on top of that, and I stay away from anything with orangy tones! I used to do my old roommate's hair with foil and I liked how it turned out, but unfortunately I don't have any friends I trust enough to do that to me (or who trust themselves enough to do it to me!)
