Revlon® Haircolor - Custom Effects® How To

Find out how easy it is to create your own custom salon look at home with CUSTOM EFFECTS® HIGHLIGHTS

Highlighting your hair is easy to do at home with Revlon. Below is an overview of the process. Make sure to read all instructions included with your highlighting kit, including the allergy and color preview test.

Choose Your Highlight Style

Custom Effects® gives you the ability to create your own custom look. When creating your look you'll want to decide whether you want your highlights to create a subtle, dramatic or natural look, and which style of highlights you want: face-framing, all over or layered.

For a dramatic look, place accents close together. Avoid putting highlights closer than one inch apart, however, as the effect will be to lighten your overall haircolor, rather than highlight it.
For a subtle look, place accents farther apart.
To get a natural look, avoid applying highlighting formula to hair right next to your part. Start accenting about a half inch from the scalp.

Prepare Highlighting Formula

Empty highlighting powder into developer bottle, replace cap and shake to mix.

Apply Highlights

Squeeze some formula onto the Precision Applicator. Then placing the applicator approximately one-half inch from the scalp, slowly apply formula in one continuous stroke, starting at the top of your head all the way down to the end. The formula is dripless, so it's especially easy to use the applicator to make straight, even lines. Refill the applicator with formula and apply the next highlight line. Begin by applying formula to the back of the hair, then alternate from one side of your head to the other to ensure even results
