Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Step1
Fill a spray bottle with water to keep your hair damp. Lightening sprays only work on damp hair, so if your hair begins to dry out, you can simply spray more water on it.
Step2
Choose the strands of hair you would like to highlight. Pull out those sections one at a time and spray the lightener on them. Comb through the strands to get those sections evenly highlighted.
Step3
Spend time in the sun to allow the spray to do its work. It is heat activated and the sun is a perfect source of heat to make the spray work. If it is cloudy out, or if it is winter, you can use a blow dryer instead.
Step4
Get blonder highlights if your hair is naturally blond. Brunettes will get red tones from the lightening spray. However, if you are a brunette and you want blond highlights, keep using the spray. Some brunettes have gold tones in their hair that will come out with enough use of the spray lightener.
Step5
Frame your face with a few blond highlights to freshen your look. For a more drastic change, spray the lightener all over your hair and comb it through. Then sit in the sun or blow dry it and watch the results.
Step6
Use the lighteners several times to get your desired look. It might take several tries to get your hair lightened enough, especially if you have naturally brown hair. Blonds will be lightened much faster than brunettes.
Step7
Refresh your look every few weeks once you have reached the shade you want. Unlike with traditional hair dyes, you won't have unsightly roots and you won't have to clean up a hair-color mess from all over your bathroom. Spray the highlighted sections again every so often to maintain your sun-kissed look.
