How to control how many highlights you get

The cap-and-hook method is what gives you control over the finished look. Once the cap is on, you use the hook to draw strands of hair through the holes. The more holes you work, the more blonde you will see; fewer holes leave you with a lighter scattering of highlights. Because you decide the density as you go, the same kit can produce anything from a few face-framing pieces to an all-over frosted effect.

This is the same cap-and-hook technique used in salons, which is why the kit ships with the cap, hook and spatula instead of a brush and bowl. The highlighting powder and developing cream are blended in the tray, applied through the pulled-through strands, and the CC Colorseal Conditioner is the after-colour step included in the pack. Clairol presents the kit as a way to achieve beautiful, even highlights at home, and the formulae is made with repair plex.

How long does Frost & Tip highlighting take to develop?

The product data for this kit does not list a processing or development time. Since timing affects how light the pulled-through strands look, check the instructions printed on the pack or the leaflet inside the box for the recommended development time before you begin.

Checking Frost & Tip against your natural level

This kit is labelled for light blonde to medium brown hair. If your natural colour falls outside that range, the data does not say how the result would look, so it is worth checking the shade guidance on the packaging before you buy.

Matching Frost & Tip to light blonde or medium brown hair

If you are between salon visits and want to add blonde dimension without a full colour change, this kit is built around controlling how much you pull through. The included cap, hook, tray, spatula and gloves cover the steps of the technique, and the CC Colorseal Conditioner is part of the pack for after coloring. Keep the CC Colorseal Conditioner with your usual wash-day routine once you have finished highlighting.

You put the cap on and pull strands of hair through the holes with the hook. More holes means more highlights; fewer holes means fewer.

It is an at-home highlighting kit built around a cap-and-hook technique, with highlighting powder and developing cream rather than a single-tube colour.
