Highlights can add dimension and style to your hair, and one popular method is using a cap. This technique is easy to do at home and can save you a trip to the salon. In this step-by-step guide, we will walk you through the process of achieving beautiful highlights with a cap.

What you will need:

  • A highlighting cap
  • A crochet hook or highlighting needle
  • A hair coloring brush
  • Mixing bowl and brush
  • Sectioning clips
  • Hair dye or bleach
  • Gloves and old clothing
  • Hair conditioner

Step 1: Prepare for the Process

Start by wearing old clothing or draping a towel over your shoulders to protect your clothes from any hair dye drips. Put on gloves to prevent staining your hands. Ensure the room is well-ventilated, as hair dye can have a strong odor. Gather all your materials near your work area for easy access.

Step 2: Prepare the Cap

Place the highlighting cap on your head and use sectioning clips to secure it in place. Make sure it fits comfortably and is pulled down tightly over your entire head to prevent any hair from slipping out during the highlighting process.

Step 3: Select the Strands to Highlight

Using a crochet hook or highlighting needle, carefully pull strands of hair through the holes in the cap. Begin with smaller sections near the front for a natural look or larger sections for a more dramatic effect. Aim for consistency in size and spacing between the strands.

Step 4: Mix the Hair Dye or Bleach

In a mixing bowl, prepare the hair dye or bleach according to the product instructions. Stir the mixture well and ensure it is thoroughly mixed. If you are unsure about the amount or strength of the hair dye, it is best to start with a small amount and gradually increase if needed.

Step 5: Apply the Hair Dye

Dip the hair coloring brush into the prepared hair dye or bleach and apply it evenly to the strands of hair that are pulled through the cap. Start from the roots and work your way down to the ends, ensuring full coverage on each strand. Take your time to apply the hair dye or bleach carefully, avoiding any contact with your scalp.

Step 6: Process and Rinse

Follow the recommended processing time provided by the hair dye or bleach manufacturer. This will typically be between 20-45 minutes. After the processing time is complete, carefully remove the cap and rinse your hair with lukewarm water until the water runs clear.

Step 7: Condition and Style

Apply a generous amount of hair conditioner to your highlighted strands to restore moisture and prevent damage. Leave the conditioner on for a few minutes before rinsing it thoroughly. Style your hair as desired and enjoy your beautiful highlights!

Remember to take proper care of your newly highlighted hair by using sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner, avoiding excessive heat styling, and applying regular deep conditioning treatments.

Now that you have learned how to do highlights with a cap, you can achieve stunning hair transformations from the comfort of your own home. Experiment with different colors and techniques to find the perfect look for you. Have fun and happy highlighting!
