Amazing. Let me know if you do

[@DeadInsideUniverse]

Beautiful work! I'd really like to know what brush you are using to apply the lightener? It's the perfect size and I love the handle on it. Looks like it would be easy to work with. Can you share which brand and name please?? Thanks, Cat from 🇨🇦

[@HairByJamesAnnabel]

Hey! Thanks for watching my tutorial. The colour brush is from YS Parks. You will be able to find them on line

[@seeleygirl6178]

Isn’t that considered back to back sections? Along hairline? Besides slight pivot, would you need too diagonal rows in side sections? Thank you.

[@HairByJamesAnnabel]

Sorry Seeleygirl i don't understand what you mean by two diagonal sections.

[@kearabevels]

I wish I was taught this placement in hair school. It's so much more simple. I'm in Florida and been a stylist for going on 2 1/2 years.

[@HairByJamesAnnabel]

Hey Keara, welcome to my channel. And thank you so much for watching. Stay tuned for all my free advanced hairdressing tips and tricks

[@seeleygirl6178]

Did you put more sections in second side in order to get some closer to the hairline? I would love to see each coil on second side.

[@HairByJamesAnnabel]

I put the same foils in both sides as mentioned in the tutorial, i edited the second side to be faster as i was repeating exactly the same application

[@Gelicaa.2]

Thank you

[@HairByJamesAnnabel]

You're welcome

[@thelocalfisher8788]

Do you foil top leaving side part in place? little hard to tell. Also if client wanted more dimension could you do half inch sub sections instead of 5mm? Final question: when foiling top 2 sections do foils have to meet exactly in middle from left side/right side on top? Sorry so many questions I am trying to perfect my organic highlights.:)

[@HairByJamesAnnabel]

Hey there! this colour application was zoned to the centre parting. You could do it to a side part. You could take larger sections if you wish, the result will be heavier and will look stronger. In the top zones you can always blend with zone toning. Otherwise with back combing and foiling under the parting so it blends. I hope this answers your questions

[@jennalynn8039]

Would you still section this way to put a money piece in or would you have to section the triangle like your other video? Sorry I’m currently learning and my friend wants half a head but a money piece so trying to figure out how I would section it to incorporate both xxx

[@HairByJamesAnnabel]

Hey! i would section this way

[@pauline1140]

James , fantastic once again. How do I make an appointment, with you?

[@HairByJamesAnnabel]

Thank you so much Pauline. If your in Melbourne Australia i would love to cut your hair.

[@magali5407]

Hello, thanks for this tuto.I have a problem, it takes me more than hour to do my full head so the effect is not the same because product lasts 1,5 hour on the back and only 30-40 min on the front. Would I do it in 2 times ? one day only the back and one day only the top ?

[@HairByJamesAnnabel]

Hey! when starting in the back, once i finish the front i simply rinse the back. Only leaving the colour to process for approximately 30 mins in each zone. Or in the back i use a lower volume (10 vol) and a higher volume peroxide in the front (20 vol). Does this help

[@magali5407]

@@HairByJamesAnnabel oh thank you !!! I do it to myself and I'm not a professionnal, so I understand now, you're the first to explain me so well, thanks for all you share🙏🥰

[@HairByJamesAnnabel]

@@magali5407 You are most welcome

[@jackiehall-hn3ll]

Hi James, really learnt a lot from this thank you. If you were doing full head foils, do you do the same sectioning and just start at the base of the neck? (By kids are called James and Annabelle BTW 😊)

[@HairByJamesAnnabel]

Yes, exactly. I would start in the back. Or i would use a higher peroxide volume. Lol i love that your kids have my names.

[@jackiehall-hn3ll]

@@HairByJamesAnnabel thank you for your reply, I've been practising on my block head following your video, I'm just slow! But my foils look so much neater which is great 🤌 Yep Annabelle is 11 and James is 7, great names 🥰 I'm in the UK. I would book out about 1.5 hours for half head, I'm self employed so I can do that but I want to get quicker. Would u recommend just practising over and over until you get quicker?

[@HairByJamesAnnabel]

@@jackiehall-hn3ll Hey Jackie, yes practice makes perfect. I used to mix flour and conditioner and practice my foiling to get quicker. I also pre fold my foils exactly in half. This allows me to close the foil faster. Also remember to pivot your sections, maintaining depth behind the face frame and parting whilst placing brightness in the face frame and parting. I always think how can i achieve the same result with less foils. Over foiling eliminates dimension, i always educate my clients that dimension will create a more natural result, the depth will make the blonde highlights look brighter, and the bonus is the grow out will need less maintenance. If you can accomodate your apt for 1.5 hours that is amazing. When i first started foiling i would be given 1 hour, now i recommend 3/4 heads to every client and do them in 45 minutes. Keep up the amazing work

[@jackiehall-hn3ll]

@@HairByJamesAnnabel thank you I will take that advice on board, pre folding foils definitely helps, and if I can use less foils that's a bonus! Appreciate your advice a lot!

[@heleneastwood3443]

I want to do this on my daughter’s hair. She is a dark blonde naturally but how do I know what colour highlight to use?

[@HairByJamesAnnabel]

Hey! you can do the same application highlighting with bleach and 20 vol. And then choose a lighter blonde than her natural to tone

[@hottiejmd1987]

Different color highlights is created from toning the highlights. Not the highlights themselves

[@HairByJamesAnnabel]

@@hottiejmd1987 it's from both. You can highlight with different tint colours and high lifts, you can also create highlights in reverse with low lighting and toning. Open your mind to all your options

[@anapaulacabral8812]

Perfeito!

[@salonsloan]

What kind of brush are you using

[@HairByJamesAnnabel]

Hey there, i am using a YS Parks colour brush. This brush works product into the hair beautifully. Once you use one it's hard to use anything else.

What foil are you using mr?x

[@HairByJamesAnnabel]

Hey Martin, i'm using Contrast foil (12.5cm x 20cm) it is textured for firm grip. I also pre fold my foil, helps to work a little faster and cleaner. I highly recommend this foil, it's really nice to use

@@HairByJamesAnnabel thanks so much I'll have a look. I'm using framar and foil me at the moment. I wasn't sure if it was burrito kitchen foil.lolx

How many foils do you need for a half highlight?

[@HairByJamesAnnabel]

Depends on how much hair density your client has. I never count

Hey Noodles, on Afro hair i do this on wet hair (it makes the process work well). You can also do the same sectioning and use freehand balayage techniques.
