Unlike foils, there is no set pattern or sectioning. A very creative technique, that requires skill and artistry for it to look beautiful.

BalayageĪ free hand technique where your stylist paints each of your light strands with a brush and a paddle. Can be used as slices to achieve a blonder result, often used in colour correction. This is where we leave none of your natural hair out of the foils, you takes even longer than baby lights. You may also get stronger regrowth depending on the colours you have applied. Only a very small amount of hair is left out of the foils, takes longer than normal highlights, you will get a stronger result as more hair is coloured than in standard foils. Not seen as much these days although for short hair it can be handy, hair is pulled through a rubber cap that is put on your head, attractive! The stylist uses a crochet hook which has just been renamed a highlighting hook, yes it was painful! Babylights With foils the number of colours you have is only limited by the number of bowls your stylist owns and his or her patience! Cap You were also limited to 1 colour as this was painted all over the hair that had been pulled through the holes of the cap.
Placement of the strands of colour was not quite random with the cap but not a great deal of control nor was it very close to the root. Highlighting or Lowlighting, where darker colour is applied rather than the lightning solutions, (you see what we did there) are applied more evenly than with the cap. It’s a similar effect although way less painful than the cap of the 80’s. Highlights are where you lighten your hair, but not all of it, just strands that are weaved through the hair, section by section. Traditional highlights, the term foil, meshe or wrap just describes what your salon likes to use to apply them. Hairdressing jargon has changed in recent years, we’re going to try to demystify some of the terms for you, so you don’t feel quite so daft when you shuffle into the salon and ask for your usual highlight because you have absolutely no idea what all these new fangled services are. Save money! Not only do you manage to stay looking groomed with very minimal effort, besides turning up and sitting in the chair, you will only be paying for a standard haircut not a restyle, reshape or redesign which costs more and can take longer.

#TINGE HAIR SALON HOW TO#
The simple reason is that by going when your stylist recommends, they can see how your hair grows out and assess how to cut it so it’s even easier to style, meaning quicker and less faffing! If your not much of a talker at the salon, it also means you don’t have to tell your stylist how you want it every time and end up with a dodgy doo, because they can remember exactly what they did and get on with styling your hair with minimal input. Now it can take years to convince a bi-annual hair trimmer to resign themselves to the 6 weekly chop, but I am yet to have one single person revert back to their salon dodging ways. Why, you may ask? for the simple fact that the longer you leave your hair between cuts, the harder it is to style & the longer it takes to look semi-decent. Maybe it’s time to change? After decades of styling different types of people, I can honestly say that the worse you are at doing your hair, the more frequently you should go to the salon. Are you one of ‘those’ people who just can’t or won’t do their hair?
