Swizzle, thinking highlights again. Talk me down.

I am naturally brunette but I have only been brunette for the last 6 mths. Before that 12 yrs of all over blonde highlights. Basically looked blonde. 
I am getting bored of the brown. 
However, I am lazy to go to the salon and I like the savings of DIY. 

I will try to post a pic. Ipad and dont have many pics. 

Eta. I will not DiY for highlight.

I finally grew out all of my highlights after having them for years. I've been highlight free for 2 years or so. It certainly saves time and money. I have dark blond/light brown hair and I'm trying to hold off coloring until I get more grey. I'm 34 and seeing some here and there. I want to enjoy the hair color free years as long as I can.

Are you greying at all?

If you could talk a friend into do the DIY stuff, I'd go with that. My mother would almost always had me do her highlights with that stupid cap you have to pull the hair through. It turned out great most of the time. lol

I refuse to do it for her now.

I totally did the pull through cap on myself for years and years. I was awesome at it! I even mixed partial amounts so I would spend half the cost at a time. Still glad to not have them.

My natural color is a dark mousey brown. I do all over color of a lighter brown with caramel/cinnamon highlights. I DO NOT DIY this. It's well worth the cost to me to have it professionally done.
