Using a Streaking Cap to Create Naturally Looking Highlights

Using a streaking cap creates the most natural look. However, this method also takes the most effort. Below, we show you how to do it:

Step 1: Put the streaking cap on top of your dry combed hair and secure the cap by fastening the straps underneath your chin. Please don’t push the neck hair underneath the cap but simply allow it to stick out. Cover the exposed neck hair with a towel

Step 2: You are now ready to pull strands of your hair through the perforations in the cap using the provided highlighting needle. Use every second or third perforation for fewer streaks. It is important to hold the highlighting needle as flat as possible. Make sure that the hook always points upward

Step 3: Comb all exposed hair strands before preparing and applying the streaking mix to the hair strands. How long you allow the streaking mix to develop in the strands depends on the desired bleaching effect. The product instructions and color chart will help you find the right application time for your hair

Step 4: At the end of the application time and with the cap still in place, rinse the streaks with water. Only then should you remove the streaking cap. That will work easier and without painful pulling after first applying some shampoo to the streaked hair strands. You should then shampoo your hair before treating it to a 3-minute conditioning cure. Rinse your hair thoroughly and style it as usual
