L'Oreal Paris Professional Techniques Frost and Design, Caramel, 1-Count

The color of this product is beautiful. I have dark brown hair and this gives me perfect blonde highlights. The longer you leave it on the lighter the hair gets. I always leave it on for the max time. Super easy to use, my husband does my hair for me. Make sure u pull the strands all the way through the cap so your hair doesn't look blotchy. The quality of this product is better than any I've ever used. I use to buy this in store but now you can only get it online from Amazon! The texture isn't gritty and its easier to mix than you may think. Will always buy this brand and product. Make sure to follow the directions on the box and you will habe no problem. Just remember to allow yourself up to 2 hours. This is from start to finish. It does take time to get the hair pulled through the cap. I use every other hoke. Covers gray too which is a major plus for me!

Works great! Great price and amazing product!!!

I bought this highlighting kit to use on my teenage daughter, and we couldn’t be happier with the results! The instructions were simple and easy to follow, and the process itself was much less intimidating than I expected. The highlights came out looking so natural—just the right amount of brightness without being streaky or brassy. It truly looks like she’s been spending time in the sun. What I also really appreciated is how user-friendly this set was, even for someone who doesn’t usually do at-home coloring. The tools included made it easy to section and apply, and clean-up was a breeze. My daughter loves her new look, and I love that it saved us a pricey salon visit while still giving professional-looking results. It gave us the natural, beautiful finish we were hoping for, and I would definitely recommend it to others!

This is a great product to lighten your medium brown hair/roots without ending up orange provided you do the strand test to determine how long you ultimately need to leave it on to get to the white blonde. Don’t just go off the suggested times or you definitely may end up still orange. I think others that rated this badly due to orangeness just didn’t leave it on long enough or were going from dark brown/black hair and probably needed a second lightening to get them to the white blonde. The lightening process is the same for everyone from your original color to orange then yellow and finally white. For me it took 50 minutes. I definitely think using a toner after is beneficial to lesson the whiteness and suggest Wella T18, T27 or T28 depending on what shade you’re looking for. Those always work great for me and you can get them at Sally Beauty Store. Inexpensive too. Anyway I really like that this has strand test measurements included (1 tsp lightener to 2 tsps developer) so if you just need to do your roots like I did, you can just mix that 1:2 amount up and save the rest for later treatments. Most other products don’t have that so you end up wasting most of it for just the small amount you actually used. Creme is thick and doesn’t run either. Easy to apply and no strong smell. And the blue toning leave in rinse after works well to minimize light orange tones but a little is all it takes or your hair could end up with a bluish tint. My only complaint is the cap. Holes are impossible to see so perhaps mark the ones you’ll use with a colored marker to make it easier to see when on. And leave the area directly around the hole free of lightener or it’ll leak through to your hair underneath. Lesson learned the hard way here lol. Overall though the Caramel lightener is definitely the best product I’ve used to easily lighten my medium brown hair with no issues.

I liked this so much that I bought another one two weeks later. I successfully changed my cool toned brown hair into a vibrant, summer streaked blonde. Instructions were very easy and I prepped my hair for about a week prior to using it. I am NOT a hairdresser so I tried to take every precaution - a few hair masks and lots of conditioning. I mixed the product, placed the bag nice and tight on my head, and proceeded to take very thin amounts of hair around my face. I let it sit for a full 60 minutes (light yellow-do not be fooled by the dried bleach because it looks lighter than it is until you rinse), and then followed the instructions on how to rinse and condition. The result is honey colored, sun-kissed highlights. I love it! As I stated, I did get another box and repeated the process so that I could lighten more. It is now 4 weeks post and my hair is a little dryer, as expected , but I bought some extra conditioner (Aveda) and so far, I am thrilled. I will definitely use this again. Oh, and I saved about $250. Win win.

It’s a pain in the apples to do this if you aren’t familiar but will save $$$! Comes out great if done correctly

I've been using this product for years. I've never used the cap. My hair is too fragile to pull through. The product is thick enough that it doesn't spread if you just work with one strand at a time and paint it on with a small spatula. This works beautifully. I quit wrapping strands in foil. You can save the powder and the gel separately and do touch-ups several times.

Definitely easier to use if you have thin fine hair but if you have thicker hair the poor tool design for pulling the hair through the cap is not going to be fun for you. Lightened properly and nothing was missing
