The end of the holidays always brings with it a veil of sadness, but among its positive aspects may be the fact that we left behind naturally sun-bleached, three-dimensional and radiant hair. In short, ideal if we want to gradually lighten the hair and low costs, but highly visible, producing a light color but with a fine nuance. The technique by which we are trying to reach our goal is absolutely foilingdeveloped in 2022 by Toni & Guy which combines the properties of foil (foil in English) to balayage, which we know very well. The meeting of these two worlds means that different lightening intensities are stacked on top of each other, mixing tradition and innovation to speed up the process and achieve blonde or lighter shades. brighter and more intense.

How foil is made

What makes the balayage so subtle is the application of the highlighter by hand: there is no comb or geometric separation on the scalp to better diffuse the lighter areas that always start far from the roots. We start doing foiling with this, after which, however, we wrap the strands in foil papers, making sure that the tool acts faster and deeper. Basically, you get the best of both systems the natural arrangement of highlights is retained, which, however, become more intense and bright. This is a technique that can only be used on some strands or all of the hair, always allowing maximum control over how much you want to turn towards the blonde or not.

Who suits. Spoiler: everyone

On a light base, obviously, this effect will strongly highlight the natural blond, giving it even more brightness. In fact, foiling is recommended for all those shades that are usually a little dull, such as all intermediate colors and, in particular, ash shades. But also a great method. for those who are brunette and want to become blonde graduallystill managing to create a great melange with a base that can also work on the roots, perhaps using the lighter strands obtained in the summer, emphasizing them as much as possible.
