This takes a little practice. I would give it a 5-star review except that I don't really care for the so-called "brush" they give you. A toothbrush or an old (but clean) mascara brush works much better. I have a specific hair color brush (several actually) but I find that the old fashioned toothbrush/mascara brush actually does a better highlighting job. If you use a toothbrush, be sure to hold the brush vertically instead of horizontally, unless you want thick highlights. Practicing (more in a moment on that) will help you figure out how best to hold it.
Like all of the other highlighting kits I've used, it first goes on clumpy but that's the way it will be for other kit brands as well. I find it best to start about 1/3 of the way down from my scalp. I then smooth it down twice. Once to get to the bottom 2/3 of my hair then again to get the area at the top of my hair.
One suggestion they give you in the package is to practice first using conditioner. The problem with that is that conditioner usually becomes pretty clear in smaller amounts after a minute or so. Instead, I used a mixture of cornstarch and water (I can't remember my exact recipe, but try 2 tbs and add 1 tbs water and mix, thin with water until it is about the texture of conditioner if needed). I can even get it pretty close to the thickness of the color cream (which is about the same as conditioner), so that's helpful.
If you're trying to have smaller, thinner highlights, then I recommend tiny bobby pins. First pin the strands you wish to highlight separately from the rest of your hair. That makes for a much cleaner highlighted strand.
The instructions say to wash your hair with a "mild shampoo" when you're done. Unfortunately, they don't provide you with what they are instructing you to use and since it doesn't say this on the bottle, you may be stuck without it like me. I used this immediately on top of my color treated hair (rinsed out of course). Once I thought about it, I realized that I didn't really want to use shampoo after because freshly colored hair will dull the day of, and a few days after, coloring if you shampoo it. In the end, I use my hair color's conditioner (or if you don't have color treated hair, your regular conditioner) as a "shampoo", rinse it out, then apply their conditioner, which by the way smells SO good.
As for highlighting, it does highlight very well, but it also does dry out the strands. That actually happens with any highlighting kit (or even professionally), but is just a warning for those who are considering trying it for the first time. It's not fair to blame them when you use it and your strands become dry, that's normal.
All in all, I highly recommend it but ONLY if you practice first. That goes with whatever highlighting kit you decide to use, even if it's another brand.

Love this product. I have been using it for years to do highlights at home. It always comes out great and looks so natural. It is super easy to use. I don't use the brush but just use my fingers. Someone commented that they did not have enough product and I just want to say that I have long hair and have NEVER had an issue. I do have trouble finding it in a store so I am glad that I can buy through Amazon.Best Deals on Garnier Nutrisse Nourishing Multi-Lights Highlighting Kit Hair
This was my first (and second) time doing my own highlights. It was pretty easy to use. I singled out the sections I wanted and bobby pinned them back. Then after I was done (timed it for 25 mins.) the parts I did first came out great and the last did not take as well (not as bright). So the next time I started with that area (and the more noticed areas) and worked the opposite direction. This worked out nicely. I also took the advice to use an old tooth brush (and my fingers [with the gloves they include]). The brush they give seems to be useless! The only other hint I'd give is to not make the highlights too straight near the scalp since it looks better when it grows out if it's a bit more jagged. I find that's more important later when it grows out in a couple of weeks. My hair is very thick and I only do 1/4 facial highlights. If you have thick hair and want to cover a good amount of hair I would get 2 boxes to be safe. The odor is not super strong but I would not work with it around a baby. But it does go away quickly. As for the color, the picture on Amazon is just right. It comes out a very light honey blond. Very pretty! Love the color so much I have this on my subscribe and save monthly order!Honest reviews on Garnier Nutrisse Nourishing Multi-Lights Highlighting Kit Hair
I buy this for my daughter, she is a pre teen and wanted a few highlights. Color is thick and easy to apply as long as you section pieces of hair first and use gloves to smooth it on better. The smell is awful for the 20 minutes of processing to the point of runny eyes and an almost temper tantrum, but we will use it again because of price and ease of use.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Garnier Nutrisse Nourishing Multi-Lights Highlighting Kit Hair
This stuff does work, but it's impossible to do by yourself. Bring a friend and block off a decent amount of time.
