Best Hair Highlighting Kits of 2025

"I loved the kit! I usually get my highlights done at the salon, but this time I decided to try it at home. The kit is complete and includes everything I needed. When I mixed the cream, it wasn't watery, preventing any mess. I was careful, and the highlights turned out perfect. I highly recommend it!"

"As a kitchen beautician, I only highlighted my hair once before. After getting this kit last week, I gave it another shot. My husband helped pull my hair through the cap, and I applied the product for 30 minutes. The results are awesome! I will definitely buy this again."

"I've been using the L'Oreal Frost & Design highlighting kit for years, and it never disappoints. It's my go-to for achieving salon-like highlights at home. The pull-through cap ensures precision, and the color payoff is fantastic—natural-looking and vibrant! However, it's often hard to find, which is frustrating. Overall, it's a reliable product!"

"I've been using this kit for years and loved the results with my long blonde hair. Recently, I tried it on my dark brown hair and ended up with caramel/red highlights. While it looked okay, I recommend this kit mainly for light-colored hair."

"My hair tends to get oily midday, but this kit's texture helped to add volume and roughness. The paste is a pleasant baby blue gelée, and I find it to be an interesting product. I'm definitely getting another one soon!"

"I was skeptical about using a highlighting kit at home, but after doing a lot of research, I gave it a try. I followed the instructions carefully and was pleasantly surprised with the outcome. My hair is now a lovely shade of lightish blonde without any orange or yellow tones!"

"I've used this product for years and was pleasantly surprised to find it on Amazon. I prefer not going to salons, so I love that this kit combines color and highlights. It's super easy for anyone who likes to do their own hair."

"After using this hair coloring kit for years, I always receive compliments about my hair color. Even my stylist is impressed! I can't imagine paying for professional coloring every few weeks—it's such a huge time-saver and saves me money. I only use half of the highlighting mix and save the rest for touch-ups."

"This product was easy to work with, but I didn't focus on the highlights. I just enjoy the color it provides. Unfortunately, it seems to have been discontinued, so I’m stocking up while I can!"

"I found this product to be incredibly user-friendly for doing my own highlights. I even fell asleep with it on, and my hair turned out beautiful and shiny! I love that I can achieve a platinum color without going to a salon."

"After using this kit, I was amazed at how soft my hair felt! It lightened my naturally dark hair by 5-7 shades in just 20 minutes, giving me those beautiful, sun-kissed highlights that look super natural. I'm thrilled with the results!"

"The instructions were really easy to follow, and I found this kit to be the best option if you want to go blonde. The price is very reasonable for the quality you get!"

"I experienced a disaster with this product. My medium brunette hair turned pumpkin orange, and the applicator was impossible to use. I had to recolor immediately. By far, the worst at-home coloring product I've ever bought."

"I have blondish/light brown hair with some gray, and I wanted to restore my previous color without a two-step process. My granddaughter applied it, and we achieved a wonderful blend with no splotches. It was a great savings compared to the salon, and my hair feels soft and healthy."

"I bought this Balayage kit because it claimed to be an all-in-one solution. Unfortunately, the applicator tool was difficult to use, so I ended up using a brush. I also realized it suggested coloring only half my hair, which wasn't what I expected for Balayage. In the end, the color turned out redder than I hoped, and I had to darken some areas. I wish I had just bought the products separately."

"I was pleasantly surprised by how well this worked on my dark brown hair. I balayaged the bottom, and it turned out beautifully natural and sun-kissed. This is softer, kinder, and cruelty-free, which is so important to me!"

"After switching to cleaner products, I found this one and it’s fantastic! I bought two boxes, which was just enough for my dark roots. My hair looks great, and it doesn’t feel damaged at all."

"I've been using this highlight kit for years, and it never disappoints! It works quickly, and the results are always beautiful. I save so much money compared to salon visits. Highly recommend!"

"While the bleach left my hair soft, it wasn't strong enough for my needs. My roots still looked orange, and the color ended up looking more red than pink. I also needed a better bleach to developer ratio!"

"I was surprised to find that the developer size was barely more than two ketchup packets! The amount was just like a spoonful, and the quality of the bleach reminded me of a cheap instant coffee. I'm not sure how others are satisfied with this."

"I found the Paradyes Carola Pink Semi Permanent Hair Color to be a fantastic alternative to permanent dyes. It was easy to apply and remove, and the colors it produced on my hair were really pretty."

"Using the Paradyes kit was a great experience! The herbal ingredients provided me with vibrant pink highlights, and my hair felt softer and smoother afterward. I highly recommend it to anyone!"

“These boards really made it easier for me to balayage my hair, and I'm definitely not a professional.”

“The brushes are fantastic when applying hair dye to my roots; they're comparable to what my hairdresser uses.”

“I appreciate the variety of brushes and balayage palettes; they're pretty inexpensive and user-friendly.”

"This board works wonderfully for coloring my daughter's hair, which is to her butt. It made the process so much easier!"

"I find the board to be the perfect size, and the brushes are very useful when working with multiple colors. It's a great product for a great price!"

"While I appreciate the board, I noticed it is not wide enough for balayage. The brushes are only good for mixing and not for applying."
