ADDITIONAL REPLY: YOU ARE PROBIBLY BEST OFF getting some type of :paint on" color effects you can find a wide selection at a beauty supply. Also places like Wal-mart might have some too.

First let me explain: highlights refers to the use of chemicals (color and/or Bleach) to permantly lighten your haircolor. However today there are many other types of "streaking effects" used some are called "lowlights" or a "reverse color weave".

Then there are some fun shampoo out products people can "paint" on their hair which come in colors like pink, red, black and so on. So it depends on what exactly you were thinking of (color) and what color your hair is now. as well as if you have any other chemicals on your hair (sun-in, perms, colors,) even if it was used a year ago its important to know. If you have a reg. stylist you should ask them if they can just help in suggesting something for you. Yes its complicated but you are talking about chemicals so be careful

it's probably good to get a low peroxide like 20% or 10% mixed with the bleach, and check on it every 5-10min. i say this because the bleaching kit at some beauty supply stores sometimes can be very strong, there is also this product called Sun-In... i think they still sell at the Drug stores. if that doesn't work the next best thing is to go to a professional Hairstylist.
