I will graduate this summer from cosmetology, and this is the best highlighting video I have seen has helped me a lot God Bless
Is there anyone out there who can please tell me how you would know how many foils to do and how much hair to leave between each foil? My mother in law wants me to do highlights, lowlights and all over color and I’ve done it before but I don’t have much experience with doing all those processes together. I’ve done highlight by itself and all over and lowlights. But not all together. I don’t know how much hair to leave between each foil. I know I will alternate between the bleach and the color and go every other foil. But I have never been good at placements and all that. I know there are different placements for different outcomes of color but idk what they are 🙁 I warned her I’m not very experiences and she is still insisting she wants me to do it and trusts me. Help?

Great video really helped
Thank you
I’m from old school. 26 yrs. ago I became a Cosmetologist, I was never taught foils. I’m not too confident and much scare to damaged the hair. I need to do foils now, that I was invited to work in a hair salon. Thank you so much for sharing with us your knowledge. I would like to learn more about foil re-touch. Many blessings!
Hello I’m Maria I would like to know more details for the foil for the front of the head.
This video was very helpful…thanks.

I always fold the corner down on my last foil…so I remember which one is my last in and last to process….I’m a student…so it helps give me a visual reminder.
How many minutes do l need to wait to get the best hights using foils? Thanks so much
your voice is so soothing:)
you are awesome, great hands! seems so easy looking at you!! but I know it is not!
How do you prevent a sharp line, where it looks like it is not blending near the scalp? What is the best way to blend without looking like a a strange pattern is going on with the highlights?
Be careful not to get the product on the scalp. It will usually expand and climb up the hair closer to scalp, so make sure you dont get it too close or it will create blotches or lines on the client’s scalp. Better to be 1/16th inch from scalp, than to get too close and mess up the job.
WAY too wide sections…..
Love the final outlook,color is exactly what I’m looking for.not to much.just right!
Could you please do a foiling bleach retouch, your an awesome teacher!
This is destined for disaster from the very beginning.
I did hairdressing when i left school 20 years ago, we used a rubber cap and i never had training on foils and by following your instructions i am now gr8 at it. Thanx
Hi! I love your videos…I have one question! Which maniquin is good for hair coloring and styling?

This is a great beginners video. I’ve been a licensed stylist for 20+ years, and I was able to show a friend how to do highlights from across the country using your video. Thanks for posting.
This is so helpful! Thank you!!

I am a newer beauty student and this video answered a lot of questions that i have been very frustrated with. Thank you so much!!!!
Beautiful highlights

Thank you. First time on my own, and I appreciate your thoroughness.
Can you please show some more advanced foiling techniques? I miss your videos! They’re wonderful!
I am in Cosmetology School right now. We work from front to back doing foils; however, I love the back to front after seeing you do it this way! Is that something most stylists prefer?
looks great
Very helpful. Wondering why she is not wearing gloves. Thanks for this video!

Is this highlight only for the crown area of the head?
Thank you sooo much! I have dyed my hair and friend’s and my mom’s hair for years but I have been wanting to get bold streaks/chunks like this for years but I just didn’t know how and didn’t want to mess up my hair! I was just honestly afraid of doing the foils wrong but thanks to your expertise, after I have my baby I will try this with a not so bold color to test it out and then wait a few weeks and do a more bold blonde. THANKS 🙂
This is the best video I’ve watched!!Congrats!!!
Where did you get your wig stand ?
