Advice on colour vs highlights on my own hair

[ajshard]

I have naturally dark auburn hair, for the past year I have been having blonde highlights, having more and more all the time. My hair grows quickly and my roots are dark within a few weeks. The hairdresser uses a cap, puts a colour on that turns my hair orangey then rinses and colours again, is this the best method for covering roots?

Is it possible to have a root treatment only? or could I now convert to having the whole lot coloured even tho I have lots of highlights already.

Im confused at what to do, I like it blonde but hate the roots and I cant afford highlights every 3 weeks and surely this would damage my hair?

Are there any 'home' kits i could safely use to lighten my roots between appointments?

Thanks

Personally if your darker naturally you shud stay closer to your natural hair colour rather than doing the opposite...box colours are naughty do not use them! Also your hairdresser uses a cap? Right? How long is your hair? If it's any longer than 3 inches long you should be having foils as caps are lazy on long hair... Pm me if you need further advice x

A good hairdresser should be able to foil your highlights right to the scalp. Caps went out with the ark.

Time for a better hairdresser maybe?
