Can I use Naturtint hair colors to lighten or highlight my hair?

There is a saying in the salon industry "color cannot lift color," and they are correct. If you would like to transform your brunette hair to blonde or add highlights, you should seek a professional's help - not an at-home hair color. With Naturtint permanent hair colors, you can go as dark as you'd like but can lighten your hair color by only one or two levels. Lightening your hair by more than one level will typically expose underlying red, orange, or yellow colors in your hair depending on your starting hair color and the shade you choose. For example, if your hair color is naturally a 5N and you apply an 8N to it, your results might be two to three levels lighter with orange hues.

Sometimes people do not mind seeing warm hues in their hair, but this is not an ideal color for many. If you need advice on correcting warm or brassy hues, this article is helpful: What are brassy or warm hues, and how do I get rid of them?
