Foiling Density and Affects

Dimensional hair color applications allow for a good deal of creativity, depending on theway subsections are taken and the weaving and/or slicing techniques that are used.

Slicing effects:

· A fine effect is achieved by takinga fine slice of hair to be colored in a foil packet

· A medium effect is achieved by taking 2 back-to-back slices in a row before leaving hair out in between the foils

· A strong effect is achieved by taking 3 back-to-back slices in a row before leaving hair out in between the foils

Slicing

The slicing technique creates a bolder effect than weaving. To create a slice, gently pull the

subsection straight out from the

head with firm tension. Brace your little finger against the guest’s scalp for stability. Hold a

metal tail comb with the tail closeto the scalp and divide across the subsection to take a slice.

The top of the subsection is the slice

Density

The number of foils taken in each section will determine the desired outcome.

Light density: 30% or less of the hair in each section is highlighted in foil and partings are 1/2" apart.

Medium density: 50% of the hair ineach section is highlighted in foil and partings are 1/4" to 1/2" apart.

Heavy density: 70% of the hair in each section is highlighted in foil and partings are 1/8" to 1/4" apart.
