How do I dye the top portion of my hair only?

I'm African American and my hair is brown. I want to dye the top portion of my hair honey blonde while leaving the bottom (underneath) portion brown. I've dyed my hair honey blonde before and it looked great, but I like the two-tonal look. Do you know what this dying technique is called? Does anyone have an tips or pictures? Do you know of any celebrities that have this style?

How do I dye the top portion of my hair only?

Too easy.

Just section the top layer off using a comb. Pin it up, and then put a sheet of tin foil over the bottom layer. Hold it in place with rubber pins (metal may react with the dye). Make sure the foil completely covers the area of hair that you don't want to colour.

Then, just do the dye part. You don't need to be too careful when you rinse it out because the bleach won't dye the rest of your hair in the few seconds it's in contact with it.

I don't know what the name of this technique is called, but I did it on my own hair, sort of. I sectioned off a big chunk of hair on my top layer and bleached it white blonde, and then dyed the rest of my hair dark brown. It looks awesome and nobody can believe I did it myself. It was super easy.

I say see a colorist. If no, I say put the portion of hair that you don't want colored in a pontail and the rest leave out. the portion that will be colored I say separate into four sections. Take hair color pour it into a bowl. Get a tint brush from the beauty supply store and then apply the color to your hair as if you were doing a relaxer that way the color will only get to the section you want.
