Fast Foil For Maximum Coverage

This is my go to technique for maximum coverage with minimal foiling. This saves you so much time behind the chair!
I did not style her afterwards. In the video what appears to be seen as “breakage” is not. Client has very fine, thin hair. Pieces you see in the front are from her using heat all the time around her perimeter. This is why I chose not to use a flat iron or curling iron.

I have been begging my stylists over and over for years and years this IS HOW I WANTED MY HAIR HIGHLIGHTED! Take wide full chunks of hair and bleach it etc also start in the back! My hair takes a long time to process so if you start there it will work to our advantage! I am so thrilled to have run into this video! Not sure where she works but bravo to you for an excellent job and now I have a video to show my stylist how to do what I want! Full highlights and not having to section each piece you pull and just bleach the whole piece you have done exactly how I feel that a good chunky highlight should look! 💋💋💋💋💋 I’m going in a few weeks to have my highlights done and hope to be just as thrilled with my outcome! Some stylists don’t know how to be creative and try new things and honestly this here is a great teaching video. In/out and you can do more clients and make money!!!

I just kno ur a problem client

[@drkmgic]

Give me us an update.

[@alannorval5224]

Definitely going to try this I am a slow foiler ,thanks for the technique

[@sunshine2502]

Same here!

[@briannalarsen3601]

Same here! I would flip the prelightened ends out though or feather 10 vol through to bump them up with less breakage. I really love the foil pattern she did though. I do something similar but haven't bricklayed the back in ages. And the bang sectioning was brilliant!

[@thehaircolorguru]

Thank you for your comment!

[@drkmgic]

I wish you showed us more of the roots especially the back

[@Chopperbaby311]

What brand of lightener did you use here?

[@freedomprivilege4all353]

This was a very good foil technique video thanks! 🖌

[@thehaircolorguru]

Thank you so much!

[@pamelagriffiths6685]

Thank yo so much for your education. What lightener did you use? I use schwarzkopf Blonde Me and seem to struggle with swelling and slipping. I want to change to a different lightener.

[@thehaircolorguru]

Hey! Message me on Instagram @haircolorguru

[@jackienwb]

I love L’Oréal Professional 9

[@drkmgic]

How do you not get thst orangey band just before the roots. I always get it if i start slicing

[@haydenlittlemonster]

I work in a fast salon now and omg did i need this 😅😂

[@swilkins1621]

What line of bleach did you use and did you use only one level of developer? I use matrix and find that it swells a lot! I normally start with a lower developer on the back and then a higher developer in the front.

[@thehaircolorguru]

@@swilkins1621 I used Jack Winn Pro Brilliant and started with 10vol ending in 20vol!

[@angelinebiswas7611]

Love the back hairline technique I actually have been doing that in on myself for years because the other way was impossible. I would die with the gloves on I always wear one glove so I have another hand that I can feel the hair and what I’m doing

[@lifelessonsbehindthechair789]

Great Job friend!!!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@thehaircolorguru]

Thank you!!

[@amandarobbins2530]

Love this ! Working smarter not harder :)

[@lindaclause8269]

You are the GURU,

[@mazzystar5342]

do u think this foiling method is FASTER than other foil sectioning placements? i do 2 in the back so u think this works best? thanks

[@sandral5086]

Which toner did you use? Love this blonde

[@thehaircolorguru]

I used Redken Shades EQ 9T/9GI/9V equal parts!

[@thesstyle3726]

Can you show us how you made the sections

[@carmengonzales2648]

Girl I need to do this soon

[@mazzystar5342]

also how do u prevent bleeding?

[@claudiaperez6986]

So Pretty! what was the toner?

[@lydvincecruz824]

Great job.❤Thanks a lot for the tips.

[@angelinebiswas7611]

On those hairline pieces behind the ear I always clip the foil as I’m painting it on bha to hold it in place

[@angelatocher4677]

The colour and foil pattern is so gorgeous but it is so over processed and it’s breaking a lot after

[@thehaircolorguru]

@@angelatocher4677 Thanks for your comment. At the time of this clients appointment she had been on medication for thyroid disease. This is not breakage but new hair. She is still my client and still blonde. Her hair is super healthy and longer after getting her meds on the up and up!

[@mazzystar5342]

why didnt u leave space inbetween at the nape? when do u not leave space between foils in geneal?

[@kellydupree6710]

Usually do a few back-to-back without dropouts around the entire hairline where you want the most brightness. Nape of the neck shows when you pull hair up in ponytail or bun, and also when hair is brought in front of the shoulders, it can brighten up the look.

[@carmengonzales2648]

Are you using 10 vol Jack Winn?

[@thehaircolorguru]

Yes I used 10 volume Brilliant!

[@myrawilliams7440]

What brand of foil did you used? And how many foil all together?

[@thehaircolorguru]

These are colortrack foils!! I probably did 30-45 all together

[@angelinebiswas7611]

Do you use olaplex in your lightener?

[@thehaircolorguru]

I used a developer that had bonder in it!

[@AMarie-wp4wk]

I tried this foil placement today on a client and followed it pretty much to a t and while it was very fast and the end result dried and styled looked very blonde and pretty it seemed to me in the back there were a lot of lines that really weren’t too bad once I dried the hair but it was something I’ve never experienced before. I didn’t have slips or bleeders so this confuses me. I’m not sure of what I did wrong could someone please tell me what they think it is?

[@thehaircolorguru]

It really depends on the density of the clients hair. If you are getting lines try feathering the lightener where the foil stops.

[@AMarie-wp4wk]

@@thehaircolorguru thank you I was thinking I should have done that I will try that next time!

[@RylieJMee]

@@AMarie-wp4wk yeah, or do a root tap afterwards just to blend it out a bit❤️❤️

[@haileythornton1281]

I personally wouldn't be doing such big and so many splices around the hairline at the back that will not grow out nicely I would weave the hairline and splice the middle

[@RylieJMee]

@@haileythornton1281 where they had almost a ‘rule of 3’ around the hairline, doing 3 around the bottom, and 3 around the front. If you so your second foil as a babylight, it softens the blend a lot more xx

[@RylieJMee]

How long does this normally take you?x

[@thehaircolorguru]

25-30 minutes!

[@RylieJMee]

@@thehaircolorguru really?!😱 Thats crazy! Will definitely be trying this in the salon. Thank you!!🥰

[@thehaircolorguru]

@@RylieJMee let me know how it goes!

[@RylieJMee]

@@thehaircolorguru tried the technique the other day, and it’s fab!! I would say it’s better if the client already has blonde through the ends, just to freshen it up. But was lovely and gave a nice scattered highlight effect x

[@thehaircolorguru]

@@RylieJMee yes!!! I love using it! You can definitely adjust to the clients hairline and density for sure! This just gives you a good starting point!
