Adventures in Beauty: O's Beauty Editors Take the Plunge
Dyeing Alone

PAGE 4
With beauty editors everywhere reporting on exciting innovations in home haircolor technology, Jenny decided to do a little experimenting with the latest L'Oréal Paris highlighting kit, Touch-On Highlights ($13; drugstores). It comes with a bristled thimble that you use to apply the dye along thin strips of hair. The process is simple:





I highlighted six sections of hair—three on each side of my natural part—and overall was rather pleased with my handiwork. The color I chose (Toasted Almond) came out a touch brassier than I would have liked, though. I'd neglected to do a strand test (always do a strand test!), so I didn't know exactly how long to let the dye process, and probably waited a bit too long to rinse it out. But with a little luck, practice should make perfectly sun-kissed. — JB
