"You've chose the kit that you want to use to highlight your hair to put blond in your hair and each one has a different process. So you want to make sure you've read the directions and in this process when it comes with a bottle like this, which there are several brands that come this way, when you comb this through your hair, you want to do section by section, comb it through your hair and don't retouch that hair, let it lightly lay on top of the next level and then do the next section of hair and then comb it through the next section. You want to make sure that you have not full coverage, it's a very light coverage on this, so they actually look like highlights that are laying on your hair. With this process where you have the brush, it's a similar process. Again, with one section not touching the other, you want to come it through the hair. Go to your next section of your hair, comb it through again and don't comb those sections together so they don't touch each other. Once they've touched each other and you've combed them or mushed the color together, you've actually now have a glob of hair. This process, where you have the brush, it's better to use the brush at this type of an angle, going down your hair like this and then you'll have those really pretty blond streaks like the sun would give you. And so those are some little tips on how to get proper highlights so they look more natural."
