I have very long and thick hair. If I wanted to ombre it or add highlights, would this be a good product?

I think it would do the trick, and if anything, you can do a gradient with another color over it. The tips tend to take really well though, so if anything I'd say do it in stages, upper part of the ombre first leave in for less time just to lighten slightly, then the tips in the 2nd process for the full processing time.

That's actually what I did when I bought mine, I am not an expert, but I kind of had a little blonde left from the last time and brightened the very ends with the manic panic flash. It worked, but be sure to use brightening shampoo or the recommended brightening toner with this or your hair does get dark and brassy again. Other than that, works great.

If you want the highlights to be very blonde, as well as the ombre coloring, then yes. This stuff works within minutes. I had long dark hair for years, and when I first decided I wanted a change, two years ago, I made the mistake of doing the box, thus nieve to doing so. If I would had been more educated, I definitely would had done this, period. I will warn you though. Be careful, because when you go from naturally dark color to blonde, it can cause breaking and drying damage. But, I am huge on coconut oil, and its many natural benefits. Although my hair had a lot of damage, due to my lack of knowledge, almost every night, now, I massage the oil into my scalp for 3-6 minutes, then apply some in the rest into my hair, brush it then put it into aa very tight braid (be sure to put towel over your pillow though) This not only assists in growing my hair, due to softening the hair shaft and roots, thus allowing it to shield it and promote gentle growth of the hair, but also really conditioning it well. If you use the coconut oil, do wash out the next day, and air dry. Your hair will result in shiny soft hair. As for a softer carmel like highlight, which sort of sounds like what you are looking at, I am not real sure what product is available to do so, but I can say from personal experience, dark hair with carmel like highlights is gourgeous. Hope this has been helpful :-)

I use it as a conditioner, leaving it on for at least 5-10 minutes. In my opinion, the product is so thick you wouldn't be able to style your hair with it on.

Yes, it does a wonderful job. I have thick hair, but I use the low setting for styling as the high is too strong.

Yes, I have thick mid-length Grey, coarse hair and it works really well, I am pleased with the product.

Great! I love this product. I've been using it for years. My hair has ranged from long without layers to medium length with layers and it's worked beautifully. You just have to section the hair of its thick. Hope this helps!

My hairs pretty thick & it worked fine on a few pieces. I didn't do my whole hair. Depending how thick or how your hair takes it but i would recommend maybe when your doing it do little pieces at a time. Its a good product definitely got my money's worth.

it won't lighten your hair, but it will "glaze" it. I have naturally dark-dark brown hair and it adds an interesting dimension of color, especially in the sunlight.

NO! Don't purchase this product - I have long hair and had to send it back - it was too difficult to use.

Yes, In my case anyway. It doesn't strip the color that you have. I have the whole"Ombre" look happening and it has left my hair nice soft and manageable. But I have mixed... more african hair so if that is your case I would still follow up with a light conditioner (for color treated hair)on the ends. Hope that helps.

I love this product. I have very kinky hair with blonde highlights. It may change them a little but nothing bothersome or noticeable. For me the benefits out weigh any subtle change to highlights.

When i bought this i used it to make ombre hair on dark brown hair and it worked but then i dyed my hair completely black and tried to use this once again on black hair and it didnt catch color like on brown hair . I did the strand test and after 2 hours it turned into a red color so u can try but red is yout best bet .. Only if u process it several times but thats most likely goinng to damage ur hair .. What i ended up doing was spending 150$ to get it lighten since black is not a color easy to get rid of and even getting my hair professional done it turned out to lighten only to a reddish brown color

Yeah I think it could be good for that purpose. I have coarse, thick shoulder length hair and I think it's probably more suitable for people w really short, finer hair. Good luck!

Because it is not real human hair, it probably will not accept dye well. And it could blend with your hair if the color and texture match well and if you style it to hide the seam (with pins, backcombing, etc.). Also, the hair color appears slightly darker in reality than it does in the photos (at least this is true for the extensions that I received). Hope this helps.

This works on dark colored hair well. You won't get an opaque cover, but you can get a decent effect if you layer lightly in multiply layers

Honestly, I don't think it would work well for someone who has oily hair. If you spray too close or use too much it tends to make your hair look greasy.

No. This definitely would not lighten your hair. I do not feel it even helps with brassiness on my highlighted hair.
