Fast Foiling Hair Tutorial | To Blend Long Regrowths | Babylights | Foliage

[@cindysayavong8672]

I tried this technique in August 20th on my client She has a Bob style. It turned out sooooo pretty, soft and blended. It took me 20 minutes and I charge for a partial highlights. On my note I put JHL. James highlights. Thank you for sharing your knowledge 🙏

[@sonjavlscnk8894]

Best advice ever. Highlight is to Highlight, not change color.

[@TheLifeOfHair]

Glad you appreciated that nugget of advice all the best James

[@janireyes5970]

I love his demeanor! So soothing, and easy to learn from!

[@TheLifeOfHair]

Oh thank you that is much appreciated

[@QuecoAeco]

I agree 🙂

[@rainbowsprinkles9864]

I know. Very chill dude.

[@Handsoflight7766]

That leave open foil I should do more to save time. It gives more oxygen as well. I think we get stuck in our habits that cost time and this one is a biggy I already fold under and have since hair school 9 years ago at 45. I haven’t worked with many experienced stylists so these techniques are refreshing to watch so thank you so much for that.

[@TheLifeOfHair]

Yes Josie it definitely saves you time passing unfolding always takes way more time than you would ever imagine it saves me about 10 minutes every set of foils not folding. So pleased that my videos have been helpful to you Josee

[@yonandonibadiola]

So "je ne sais quoi" translates literally as "I dont know what" but it means a quality that cannot be described easily... Lovely video as usual James, thanks a lot.

[@dodobird6535]

James....... you are amazing! I learn so much from you. I can watch you everyday and feel like I’m watching you for the very first time. Thanks for all your fantastic videos.

[@TheLifeOfHair]

Wonderful thank you very much dodo bird I am very pleased that you have learnt stuff from the channel and your comment is much appreciated

[@mydeardimensions]

My friend came over to do the body sculpting on me and I tried this technique on her! OH! MY! WOW! I am obsessively inlove! It turned out so beautiful! Watching your video raised my hair foiling and highlighting vibration! I’m youre #1 fan, now! *drolls*

[@TheLifeOfHair]

Oh that is wonderful to read thank you so much glad it all went well for you

[@rainebeau7939]

Iv'e been a hairdresser 32 years, wow things have really changed in that time, these fast new techniques are great. 32 years on and you never stop learning, so many qualify and think they have learnt everything there is to know. Also in all this time I am now starting with back, hip and hand problems so anything that is easier and quicker is good for me and the salon 😁

[@TheLifeOfHair]

Super glad you appreciate them yes I am a big fan of these express techniques who wants to be spending hours and hours and hours doing the same thing over and over again all the best James

[@mikamouse73]

I love your commentary with this video. You seem so relaxed and in the moment. Beautiful result and one I’m going to try for sure!!

[@TheLifeOfHair]

Thank you Mika that is very kind of you to say Doing hair is my happy place

[@sunshine2049]

I am taking notice of how the music in the background is so peaceful for a change. You can focus on the work High techno music is jarring and competes with the speaker

[@TheLifeOfHair]

Wonderful yes I have change the background music that I put in my videos I much prefer it hey I don’t know why I was put in such stupid music in my videos I guess I was caught in the trap of doing what everybody else does I’ve been watching this brilliant videographer on KZbin for awhile now and they really liked music he was using so I thought well must give the girl in my videos and I much prefer it I have to say I’m glad that people have noticed and commented

[@diannadeerodriguez3718]

Yes; I get annoyed with techno music in other videos, but his are actually soothing, I pay attention through the entire video!

[@sunshine2049]

The Life Of Hair I wasn’t directing that you played jarring music I meant other you tubers play this harrowing music and that your kind is more soothing. It sounds like they’re in a nightclub and it’s not even good music

[@diannadeerodriguez3718]

assertyourself yes other you tubers !! The music is loud.

[@sunshine2049]

Dianna Dee Rodriguez Many of the hairstylist on KZbin and Instagram played the absolute worst screechy annoying music it drives me crazy!

[@christinewetzel3182]

Great educational video James so appreciate you!! Question….would this technique work if she rated on side??

[@christinewetzel3182]

I mean if she parted her hair on the side.

[@hannukka4416]

16:39 I love the way you evolve during these hard times, and encourage others to do it too!! Thank you for this great, timesaving yet successful new way of highlighting hair. Wish you all the best!!

[@birdiecurry2100]

The angelic music playing is unique yet soothing. Love this technique.

[@aewyn121]

I know my comment is super late, but I just watched this video. This was a very good video! Very helpful! Oh, and about “he never sais quoi”….I am also sure MANY people have answered you. I don’t know how many French people actually say that phrase, because I mostly hear it used in the English language, but in my lifetime, when I have heard it used, it is like saying “she has a certain SOMETHING that can’t be defined, named, or explained, even if I tried, because of how unique and special it is.” This is just my own made up sentence, as an example. I am sure the phrase could refer to anything, not just a person, obviously. Sorry. I am sure that you know this better than I do! 🙄

[@lisabador4083]

is this technic possible for a previously hi lighted hair as well.. i try this kind its amazing technic .. hopefully you upload more ., thank you

[@TheLifeOfHair]

It is possible and previously highlighted hair but what I would say is if you’re going to do it on previously highlighted hair it does need to have quite a long route on it or you need to put a root stretch in between the packets to achieve this affect. I have a video on how to turn I highlight client into a Balyage client check it out it’s more akin to somebody that is already got highlights

[@lilymamo5851]

I really like the detailed education you are giving. I will try may be two diagonal and one horizontal. Love it thank you.

Hi Ste To be honest I can’t remember

[@michelejune68]

Beautiful,thankyou

[@natalieshepherd4932]

Thanks James, would this work on an overhighlighted blonde if also adding in a low light to break up the old a bit? Or would it not be enough coverage overall?

[@TheLifeOfHair]

No worries Natalie glad you liked it yes you could use this technique to add depth back in but I would recommend to use anything like a skip slice or quite a chunky weave if you wanted to get depth back into the hair using baby find sections like we do in this video really wouldn’t work to add depth and break up over highlighted hair

[@jacquibyrne9309]

Hi James, i've done shinny side and not shinny and have not noticed and difference. Great as always. x

Congrats mate you have over 20k subs 👍 I remember I subbed when you just started off and I knew you would do well and your channel would grow 😊

[@NMW80]

I hope your family and loved ones are all okay, this pandemic is scary especially for older loved ones and those with health issues. How is the pandemic in the uk now? Don’t forget to get some sunshine while you guys are in summer so get out in the sun as it boosts the immune system and is good for us in moderation of course. It’s best to take vit d supps in the uk too though esp in winter etc as I read the sun isn’t as strong in Northern Europe and any other northern or southern countries that are further away from the equator.

[@arocks1234567]

I ♥️ this for straight here, but doubt this would work for frizzy curly hair. Slices work better there. Do you think this pattern would work with slices too?

[@TheLifeOfHair]

Yes you can just vary your weave depending on the hair texture as with all techniques curly hair You would want to do A slice as you said or escape slice is a really good technique actually feature that particular technique in one of my most recent videos

Once again amazing informative and super helpful videos!! I do have a questions I make sure to evenly saturate the hair in the foil, however I seem to get those fold marks. Is it too tight or not enough product???

[@TheLifeOfHair]

Hi wonderful thank you for your question so yes it Could be a combination of both of those things really I never thought my phone was too tightly and I always put lots of products in there if you sold your foil to tight then that can cause bleeding because there is nowhere for the bleach to go apart from out the top 👍🏻

[@Kwood10]

[@kristenforbing6826]

Should you start in the crown area?

[@TheLifeOfHair]

Kirsten yes in most colouring techniques obviously you would probably start in the crown to reach the crown at first but this technique shouldn’t take more than 25 minutes or so to apply because of the nature of the technique so I would say starting in the front would be okay I start these techniques in the front and have no problems
