vegetable gloss/colorant based highlights

curlyclassyandfabulous

I just finished reading curl talk by ouidad and she mentions colorant based highlights are better than bleach based and vegetable gloss for color and shine.

My question is who makes colorant based highlights and how will i know and furthermore believe a salon who says they use them? Does anyone know anything this from reading the book or having had a personal experience.?

I did a google and came up empty. I definitely want to get highlights and want to get this colorant based process shes talking about.

colorant based highlights are highlights done with haircolor, instead of bleach and toner....

The colorist would place foil highlights, but would use regular or high lift color in the foils......

Its much gentler...but it does not enable the very dark haired to go very light
