What ppl need to understand that those chunky lines actually look better on naturally curly and frizzy (also vety long) hair like mine. That's why i have to do my own highlights. Every time I go to a hairdresser for highlights, and i tell them i want a bit chunkier highlights further apart, they still put them too close together. It's a mess. After 3 attempts i gave up and have to do it myself. Just let people have the hairstyles they actually want. It's a matter of taste, not right/wrong.
Yes, I do chunky highlights on my brown, curly hair peek-a-boo style where they don't highlight right where I part my hair, and that helps let it grow out a little longer before needing a touch up. I have color done every 10-12 weeks! Too fine of highlights changes the overall color, but chunky leaves it brown with the blonder color coming through. Benefits to both!
Curly hair is a very different animal altogether! Overall though, I think this is a really helpful video. I am going to try these techniques with much thicker pieces of curly hair in my foils.
I actually came to take notes on the "Don't" side bc I asked for the chunky look (I also have 2c/3a curls) and $425 & 3 returns to the salon they did not do what I asked. I can't even see the different colors in my hair bc they foiled them so soft and fine and close together. INSANELY frustrating. So now I'm doing them myself. Just do what I ask. I want the chunks!!
Can you explain why chunky highlights are better for curly girls? I'm a curly gir so maybe i can help direct my stylist next time she does my highlights? l
So true ! I’m attending Paul mitchell school! And I feel very lost ! Their education is very lacking !!! Sometimes I feel like I wanna give up ! But no ..
I honestly do like the effect of the chunky lines on the don’t side lol. But as a hairstylist I see value in every kind of effect and technique no matter how old or out of date it is because those things can always be used in modern coloring. I think these days nothings off limits but I do really appreciate your showing us some examples of both do’s and dont’s. Great video thank you
This is absolutely amazing and so clear. Now I understand why I've had those bad, stripey highlights in the past....and now I know I know why I paid $300 for the best highlights I've ever had (only did that once!!). Question for stylists: Is it rude to ask your stylist specifically to do the verticle highlights? Would they be annoyed like your trying to tell them how to do their job? If not I will definitely mention this.
Hello! I personally wouldn’t be offended if you say it like, “oh I love the vertical highlights I saw that created this effect, could we do that?” Or if you’ve tried explaining the look you want but are having a hard time getting those results, being more direct or saying, I saw this technique for this like I like, idk if that’s the same as what you do but could we try that? Also, thank you for watching.
You mentioned that u see people have their color mixed sitting out with a 30, a 10, a 20 volume ALL mixed prior to application! May I ask do u see this in videos or in salon settings? Bc I would appreciate the advice if it is given in a kind manner especially from a pro like U... But I also understand that some people get VERY sensitive!? I would thank U! If it's already too late and the colors are mixed, maybe U could say something for next time? I do not know if I could in that situation either so it is easier said than done! ❤ ✌️ I adore THIS though and your Jason Bourne...esque professional hair guru auto-pilot (from your immense skill, hard work, talent, passion, & experience) kicked in bc u were hesitant 2 do the "Don'ts" side applications with your hands but you did it anyhow as an educator! WOW 🙏🔥
Great video! I love your techniques! Would you use this same foiling technique if you were colouring in between? I have trouble with keeping things too organised because I know I'm colouring in between but I would like to change up my foiling technique at the same time...? How would you foil and colour in between?
Except I am getting requests for that super CHUNKY look. More $$ for me when they need touchups sooner. Not my fave look. It stresses me out to do it. It's counterintuitive.
I am not a hair stylist at all, I’m actually a nurse lol. I do a lot of stuff on my own after a TON of research. I have been obsessed with learning everything hair these days. You are so kind to do this. All the little tips and tricks and reasoning is invaluable. I would think for anyone, especially those that are color specialists and want to continually educate themselves. Those that critique you and make comments about how your doing it is quite laughable. I don’t understand why this is such a touchy subject for some. Let people be. She’s really doing everyone a favor and giving really good information. Pride is a crutch. Put it aside. Keep doing you girl!❤
❤❤❤😊 absolutely agreed 👍🏽 😊. Professional colorist here 👋 WELL SAID! Her tips done like this ABSOLUTELY help me so much! I’m shocked anyone would disagree or take the time to complain. Love it! I’m so glad btw as a professional myself, that if you choose to do so at home you research it and do it correct!❤❤❤ good!
Haha! Nurse here too! I do the same thing! Big do it yourself-er, especially with a 15 year old daughter who likes to color her hair a LOT. Thankfully my niece is a stylist (but quite a distance away)so she tells me what to do. But videos like this are invaluable! I’m a doer….so seeing it helps a LOT!
Funny- found myself in a good bit of your comment. Nurse who has a big interest in hair and whose been doing a lot of research. Finally got to a place to give my own hair a go. Happy with the results. I’ve always loved hair and nails ( I do my one as well ) hair more so, and was missing parts because of different terms used for the lighting process and toner. What confused me was the toner talk always sitting in the blonde realm. Any content I came across only explained how to reach the highest level of lift. I wasn’t looking to be platinum but wanted medium copper and caramel highlights. Once I did the bleaching on my hair and stopped mid way so it wouldn’t get too light, I discovered I was able to get my results. Didn’t use “ toner “ but hair color which worked . Now I see content explaining how to achieve copper and other fashion colors which includes the bleaching and how you don’t need to have it sit for the directed time and toner is used with a level of developer that professionals typically have access to. It’s fascinating how much I’ve learned and how much I’ve yet to discover. Good luck and thank you to all of those who freely share their knowledge, expertise, and experience . I’m truly grateful.
i went to cosmetology school when i was in high school 5-6 years ago and they still teach the dont side 😭😂 i remember the first time i did highlights on my mannequin miss debra she had chunky highlights and i had so many bands in her front hairline 😂 when i become and instructor i will be showing your video to my students lol thank you!!
I know! And it was so discouraging for me because I tried so hard to do exactly what I was told and it just made no sense why it would come out so terrible and sloppy.
I saw one colorist apply the bleach onto the foil first to help saturate the other side of the weave and keep it in place on the foil. Seemed like a good technique
It's funny how they change the name of a technic when it's what we have been doing all along. I do love they way to teach and I agree with Elizabeth Kemp, they should tech it in beauty school. The sad thing is if you don't get a good teacher that really cares, it just because a cash cow for the beauty school.
I just started Cosmo school two months ago and had to do 60 foils as one of my tasks to transition to the floor. I struggled because of mainly making more work for myself and taking too long. You helped me be okay with taking 30 min-hr longer than my classmates that get done in two hours. Thank you for tips on going vertical at the hairline, thin sections, and being thorough!
I’m not a hairstylist but I have resisted getting all over highlights because of the “don’t” method which is what I’ve ended up with in the past. The “do” side is what I’ve been longing for but I had no idea how to ask for it! Now I do! This is genius and is appreciated by us lay people just as much as hair stylists!
I can definitely see where the foil was creased, it's such a good Tipp not to do so. I'm going to follow that on my own hair next time I do my highlights. Thanks for that :)
So u remember in the early 2000s this striped look was so popular remember Mohawk section on top and back to back bleach and lowlight slices lmfao lol. Hell no . Then the dark Hair underneath and the blonde on top lol. I’m licensed in Cali . U did good :)
This video needs to be shown in every beauty school! I have been doing hair since 1986 and was not taught how to foil ( cap was king) much less properly. Had to teach myself. I remember the first foil highlight i did took me 4 hours to put up lol...thank god I used Sunglitz (heat activated) otherwise that poor client would have foils dropping on the floor. A video like this would have saved me much time and heartache. Well done.
I started in 1986 too and I concur we were not taught foils. The "frosting Cap" with the hook that removed scalp skin and hair. Self taught and I was sweating it in the 90's. I love kristi' videos. What's the closest airport to your Salon, Kristi? Seriously, I would save up and fly from FL.
I would say I have definitely made the stripe mistake once and never again lol! 🤣 now I been doing hair for 5 years and I definitely prefer the more tedious method of soft highlights and balayage to the wam bam thank you maam type of foils :3
Hair is such a huge deal for self esteem and coming from just growing back bald spots I NOW see and feel that! Also having hair being all cut off as a young gawky kid lol 🤣 didn't feel so well. It may sound trivial but what U do changes lives...trust me! Especially bc U do it well and with passion! It shows and it's so beautiful... Like you!
Thank you so much. You have no idea how much your videos help me understand, and fix my techniques! I felt hopeless for the first few months of cosmetology school but hair is finally starting to make sense thanks to creators like you. ❣️
They don’t side is from the 90s and early 2000s and aside from that chunky highlight, she demonstrates at least 6 (that I counted) other technical mistakes. It’s more abt those issues than the overdone chunk lights
I commend you for the care and respect you give your clients. After I found a stylist/colorist w your approach I was so happy then she moved. From then on I couldn't find anyone who did it your way. I would try to suggest w/o offense but most do not want to be told by a layperson how to do. I used to wonder if they knew the foils were sliding because that would mean faster regrowth lines and I'd have to come back sooner so more money for them but guess what..I never went back. I just resorted to doing ac tone on tone at home..its no longer highlighted and I miss my highlights so I started exploring how to do it st home and that's how I found your video. I wish you were in my area..I'd definitely go to you! Good work!
I have always pressed my foils to make them look flat and pretty so this was super helpful. Also, I learned that folding the foils in insulates them and helps with processing. Is that true?
Girl this helped so much especially with the foils because mine would keep coming out splotchy because of me folding them so tight, and its really hard for me to do foils on myself regardless but this has still helped so much
I got that same mannequin from Amazon awhile ago and still haven’t used it lol.. it’s interesting that the manufacturer who makes them makes all the pivot point mannequins.. loved the video hope you make us more do vs don’t videos or how to correct the don’t side!
I'd love to see a video of your pattern for partials vs heavy partials, vs full highlight and heavy highlights and how much you charge for each. I think I've been doing heavy partials for a regular partial price, as far as how many foils I do (compared to other stylists anyway).
Girl you save my life with your videos!!!! I used your technique and for the first time today I felt my clients hair came out PERFECT! You’re amazing and I appreciate you!!!!! Thank you!
Hi Kristi! You mentioned in this video that you have a technique you could demonstrate for moving/lifting foils without causing slipping or bleeding. This seems especially important for times when foiling horizontally starting from the top of the head and working your way down. I’ve seen this in a few of your videos and it seems you are also teasing at the root in those....not sure if that’s the trick? Thanks! 😃
Gurlllll whyyyyy do I have to live as far across the country from you as possible!? LOL! If I was rich I swear I’d fly to the PNW every 5 weeks so you could highlight my hair! So sick of trying to find someone here who can do it without including every single thing from your “Don’t” section! 😂!
when im foiling the hair touching the foil Dosent get covered how do I fix this? is it just not enough product? but when I put more bleach on the packet overflows?
I am 72 yrs young! My hair color is platinum silver. I bleached and toned it. How do I make it look like I have silver streaks in my hair. I have gray dye.
I absolutely love your videos. I've learned so many great tips from them. I have to laugh though. Everything on your 'don't' side is pretty much what they taught me to do in beauty School... LOL
Back when I went to school, the don’t side was on trend. Stripey streaks like Kelly Clarkson was the look! Now it’s so taboo. I always angle them now. I have NEVER creased foil. What do you think about the flap that some foilers leave under the bottom so they can tighten the foil Afterwards???? Thoughts on highlighting boards??
I personally don’t like re tightening my foils that way, I feel like it’s too much movement. I just hold at the top corners to tighten up if I need to. Also, I love boards now, especially with such long hair. It has helped prevent wrist paid and I get better application from the hard surface.
Hi kristy genning what is your color mennequ you hav to tell tell tru dont skip blond highlight if hear is black or brwon can you show if me hear ls black how can iam do gunkey blond highlight to color brown and blond mak sur

Curly or not , chunky hihgliths has the Dos and Donts, I personally messy around all the time with my hair, britney 90s, brit 00s, and all kind of "fashion" ... it depends what effect you wanna have, and how you USE your hair. Just because some people doesnt like chunky or babies, yada yada yada IT DOES MATTER THE FOIL HONEY! the time, the temperature, aproximety with the head, all that jazz !!! it takes 2 to tango , but takes 1.000.000 videos and tutorials a life experiences to do the way you wanna do BUT without F... YOUR HAIR, I loved this video, hate some comments. be free from " dictators" , shes is HELPING people! cmon!!! sorry my english, Xs from BR.
Thank you 🙏🙏 this is so helpful!!! I had no idea hair color sitting out could oxidize and I have been guilty of not utilizing the whole hair, but zebra stripes that are horizontal have been avoided and they do not look good at ALL! Also squeezing Will cause a crease and having to cover those up is not 🚫 ideal! I'm not a hair dresser at ALL but OMG I have had hair dressers butcher my hair color with these mistakes and a few that were AMAZING! I wish I could get in with someone like U but where I live I have yet to find anyone in Years so I just do simple things I'm comfortable with that probably takes more time than a real pro.... so Thank U! 🙏🙏🙏
The don't side is EXACTLY how I was taught in school. One day in a salon someone I was apprenticing under said " why are u choosing that way to section and foil." Not to be mean, but to make me think of the why and how. I later started doing more diagonal foils, which does give a softer look, but I am excited to try your foil placement. I have a client with a heavy side bang, ( early 2000's style lol) how would you highlight that? I mean she cut it herself and there is little to no transition between it and the length of the rest of her hair.
I'm currently studying to be a hairdresser and we learn a whole different technique of sectioning! We have five sections. One that goes from the middle of their head to the back and then ear to ear!! We call it the cross!! Do you also use it or is that just a thing that exists in my country? I'm from Sweden btw!
Thanks so much for taking the time to do this. Super helpful. My only criticism would be that the left side was done chunky and the right said was done with fine weaves. Maybe a good comparison would be to do the left side with the same placement as you did but the same size weaves as the right side
Thank you so much for taking time to offer these tutorials! If it takes longer to foil the back to front, do you suggest using lower volume developer so it won’t be too developed from the front?
Yes! That way it processes evenly. Unless they have very dark hair, I'd stay with 20 vol and just pull out earlier. But generally darker hair has the strength to sit longer
Very cool😊I hope I don't remember the don'ts ,that was a long part of the vid , I'll totally confuse some of this in my mind lol🎉at 1 point I got distracted and lost the thread a sec and had to watch some again and go back silly me😂but thanks , very useful and I think the do sides brill❤
Hi kristy genning what color your mennequ can you tell what is natural hear herwhat color you tooncan you tellmoor nic dont hide you teach. Hear color four people you hav tellwhat color you put on your mennequ
Thank you for this video, I now know what has been happening to my hair highlights at the salon. I always walk away with "roots" and chunks. I always ask for highlights that look blended, no roots or chunks and it never happens.

Hi kristy genning how about tonur what is color you us tonur you uscan you do touch can you do shadow root what color you us what feveloper you us if you professional
Hey Kristi! I just found your channel and I’m obsessed. I’ve been watching all your videos the last week haha. Can I ask for some hair advice? Last week I made the stupid mistake of having my hair dresser take me from blonde to brunette. I was a level 8 dimensional blonde and she put a 5n Demi permanent brown on my hair. I absolutely hate the way that it looks and I want to get rid of it. Would you recommend a color remover, or will I most likely have to get back into the salon and re-bleach everything? Let me know if you have any tips. Thanks so much and love your videos xx
Hello! Thank you for watching! I kind of wonder if it still just kind of fade out on its own? Unless you want it out now, then maybe try a Malibu treatment. That could pull it out. Just be prepared to be kind of brassy no matter what you do.
Very good on explaining the details of foiling - we sometimes forget about details & wonder why things screw up.thanks for showing - I stopped folding my foils on the sides unless I have a part that’s a tiny area..
When you say, "don't move the foil once it already lay down." Does it mean you don't do the technique where you put highlights or lowlights then colour the gray roots right after to process at the same time?
Right, that causes slipping. If someone wants subtle highlights then I’ll do the roots, then go through and highlight over. The bleach will lift through the color.
Good lord, I'm more on the "don't side" versus the "right side" but hey, we weren't born knowing so continue practice and diligence will get me to the "right side" LOL :) Thanks for this video. Been binging on your videos and can happily say I have been using your money piece method...haven't mastered it yet but not definitely not where I used to be!

@@hairbykristijennings6648 thanks so much, this is super helpful!!
The quote-on-quote “don’t” side isn’t necessarily incorrect. That streaky style is called “chunky highlights” and I’m going to be getting them soon! 😊
Thank you for this video! Many clients encounter stylists who do these don’ts… that’s why they won’t return to a salon. 😢
I love the chunky highlights. But my era is early 2000s. I like the dimension with low lights

Great Video on foil techniques!
I have found that cream lighter puffs up much less than powder and i rarely have any stripes & bleeders.
You are a God send i needed this Thank you!!!!
OMG that is brilliant thanks Kristi
Thank you so much! I appreciate that!
How do you keep the foil to the hairline when you have to touch up roots on the color?
Yes I have done the don't too many times😳
Great video! I love your techniques! Would you use this same foiling technique if you were colouring in between? I have trouble with keeping things too organised because I know I'm colouring in between but I would like to change up my foiling technique at the same time...? How would you foil and colour in between?
So, do you foil up to the part or do a mohawk? If foiling to the part, do you leave the last slice of hair unfoiled?
Can you do a video on how to do a retouch on highlights
Hi genning what color your mennequ frist what ton you put what is natural her hear befour you put bleach on her hear
Thank you so much
Thank you for watching!
How do you fix the hair on the dont side
I would do the foil on the do side to break up the stripes. Fine weaves back to back....
Except I am getting requests for that super CHUNKY look. More $$ for me when they need touchups sooner. Not my fave look. It stresses me out to do it. It's counterintuitive.
Exactly! It's totally making a comeback!
Hi genning what color your mennequ can you tell moor nicwhat is natural her hear your mennequ
The problem for me is you have done two different techniques…weaves will always be softer than slices. This is not a true comparison
The mannequins face looks so concerned thank you so much for the tips
Lolol! I guess I’m not the only one that thought that very thing!😂🤣😂

Funny. I got so fast at foiling due to my instructors drilling it in.
Cap doesn’t bleed and you have more control of the processing time but foils is about placement

I'm right there with ya sister.... took a few foiling classes...had to learn the hard way
This is my third time watching this video I can’t thank you enough for all of your content!❤
I would say I have definitely made the stripe mistake once and never again lol! 🤣 now I been doing hair for 5 years and I definitely prefer the more tedious method of soft highlights and balayage to the wam bam thank you maam type of foils :3
Exactly! And to be fair, we've all been there!
Hair is such a huge deal for self esteem and coming from just growing back bald spots I NOW see and feel that! Also having hair being all cut off as a young gawky kid lol 🤣 didn't feel so well. It may sound trivial but what U do changes lives...trust me! Especially bc U do it well and with passion! It shows and it's so beautiful... Like you!
Oh thank you so much for the thoughtful comment! You’re very right, it’s huge for self esteem! Thank you so much for watching!
Thank you so much. You have no idea how much your videos help me understand, and fix my techniques! I felt hopeless for the first few months of cosmetology school but hair is finally starting to make sense thanks to creators like you. ❣️
The "Don't" side is a style of technique that is still very much requested. Still taught, still a basic.
(Obviously done consciously right)
They don’t side is from the 90s and early 2000s and aside from that chunky highlight, she demonstrates at least 6 (that I counted) other technical mistakes. It’s more abt those issues than the overdone chunk lights
I love love your demonstration and explanation. Very impressive and I am loving the final result!
I commend you for the care and respect you give your clients. After I found a stylist/colorist w your approach I was so happy then she moved. From then on I couldn't find anyone who did it your way. I would try to suggest w/o offense but most do not want to be told by a layperson how to do. I used to wonder if they knew the foils were sliding because that would mean faster regrowth lines and I'd have to come back sooner so more money for them but guess what..I never went back. I just resorted to doing ac tone on tone at home..its no longer highlighted and I miss my highlights so I started exploring how to do it st home and that's how I found your video. I wish you were in my area..I'd definitely go to you! Good work!
I have always pressed my foils to make them look flat and pretty so this was super helpful. Also, I learned that folding the foils in insulates them and helps with processing. Is that true?
yes but dint press the bottom or mid section , it pushes the bleach around and causes bleeds
Please show a video for sold grey hair with low lights thank you
Literally one of my closest clients wants the don’t side so here I am learning again how to do stripey highlights 😂
Girl this helped so much especially with the foils because mine would keep coming out splotchy because of me folding them so tight, and its really hard for me to do foils on myself regardless but this has still helped so much
I got that same mannequin from Amazon awhile ago and still haven’t used it lol.. it’s interesting that the manufacturer who makes them makes all the pivot point mannequins.. loved the video hope you make us more do vs don’t videos or how to correct the don’t side!
I sure will! Im always wanting suggestions from you guys so I have an idea what you like!
Hi Kristi.. can you do a video on how you would do highlights on super thin hair??
I'd love to see a video of your pattern for partials vs heavy partials, vs full highlight and heavy highlights and how much you charge for each. I think I've been doing heavy partials for a regular partial price, as far as how many foils I do (compared to other stylists anyway).
Yes me too. I struggle to do partials I always want to put in too many foils
Love to see this too
When the "don't" looks like my hair circa 2003 😆
Yes!! And honestly... it’s kinda coming back!
Such a good do’s and don’t’s! Thank you for taking the time to do this❣️
Of course!
Girl you save my life with your videos!!!!
I used your technique and for the first time today I felt my clients hair came out PERFECT! You’re amazing and I appreciate you!!!!! Thank you!
Oh yayyyy! I love to hear that! So happy!
watching this to learn how to do this on myself 🥺😅
me too..lols😂😂😂😂
Hey, shit! That sure was me lol thanks a million, I learned so much! Love your personality, keep em up!
Oh me too! Those chunks are definitely making a comeback! Lol
Girl, Thank u!👍🏻👍🏻 u did a bad@zz job on the DO side.
Thank you!
Great job!! I’m showing this video to my students in hair school tomorrow!! They fold their packets like Christmas presents!!!! 🤦🏼♀️
Oh wow that's so awesome! Thank you so much! I hope it helps!
Hi Kristi! You mentioned in this video that you have a technique you could demonstrate for moving/lifting foils without causing slipping or bleeding. This seems especially important for times when foiling horizontally starting from the top of the head and working your way down. I’ve seen this in a few of your videos and it seems you are also teasing at the root in those....not sure if that’s the trick? Thanks! 😃
Oh yes! Maybe I could do a live video with that. Great suggestion!
Awesome I would love that! Hope you are hanging in there! ❤️❤️❤️
@@hairbykristijennings6648 thank you. So useful.
Absolutely loved this video!! Thank you sooooo much for uploading!
Gurlllll whyyyyy do I have to live as far across the country from you as possible!? LOL! If I was rich I swear I’d fly to the PNW every 5 weeks so you could highlight my hair! So sick of trying to find someone here who can do it without including every single thing from your “Don’t” section! 😂!
when im foiling the hair touching the foil Dosent get covered how do I fix this? is it just not enough product? but when I put more bleach on the packet overflows?
Good question! I think your sections might be too thick of weaves
I am 72 yrs young! My hair color is platinum silver. I bleached and toned it. How do I make it look like I have silver streaks in my hair. I have gray dye.
I would just do a few foils here and there evenly around the head to give it dimension.....
I absolutely love your videos. I've learned so many great tips from them. I have to laugh though. Everything on your 'don't' side is pretty much what they taught me to do in beauty School... LOL
Thank you! And honestly, same with me. It's a preference, I think and not that its wrong, I just find most clients don't prefer that way of placement
Hi Kristi, would you please show the whole head with the proper weave highlight technique, thank you so much!
Yes! I before I have a few blonde videos where I foil this way....
Back when I went to school, the don’t side was on trend. Stripey streaks like Kelly Clarkson was the look! Now it’s so taboo. I always angle them now. I have NEVER creased foil. What do you think about the flap that some foilers leave under the bottom so they can tighten the foil Afterwards???? Thoughts on highlighting boards??
I personally don’t like re tightening my foils that way, I feel like it’s too much movement. I just hold at the top corners to tighten up if I need to. Also, I love boards now, especially with such long hair. It has helped prevent wrist paid and I get better application from the hard surface.
I love highlighting boards! I went to school around the same time you did!
I’m in cosmo school and I do all the donts 😫😩 that’s how I was shown 😭

Curly or not , chunky hihgliths has the Dos and Donts, I personally messy around all the time with my hair, britney 90s, brit 00s, and all kind of "fashion" ... it depends what effect you wanna have, and how you USE your hair. Just because some people doesnt like chunky or babies, yada yada yada IT DOES MATTER THE FOIL HONEY!
the time, the temperature, aproximety with the head, all that jazz !!!
it takes 2 to tango , but takes 1.000.000 videos and tutorials a life experiences to do the way you wanna do BUT without F... YOUR HAIR, I loved this video, hate some comments. be free from " dictators" , shes is HELPING people! cmon!!!
sorry my english, Xs from BR.
Thank you 🙏🙏 this is so helpful!!! I had no idea hair color sitting out could oxidize and I have been guilty of not utilizing the whole hair, but zebra stripes that are horizontal have been avoided and they do not look good at ALL! Also squeezing Will cause a crease and having to cover those up is not 🚫 ideal! I'm not a hair dresser at ALL but OMG I have had hair dressers butcher my hair color with these mistakes and a few that were AMAZING! I wish I could get in with someone like U but where I live I have yet to find anyone in Years so I just do simple things I'm comfortable with that probably takes more time than a real pro.... so Thank U! 🙏🙏🙏
The don't side is EXACTLY how I was taught in school. One day in a salon someone I was apprenticing under said " why are u choosing that way to section and foil." Not to be mean, but to make me think of the why and how. I later started doing more diagonal foils, which does give a softer look, but I am excited to try your foil placement. I have a client with a heavy side bang, ( early 2000's style lol) how would you highlight that? I mean she cut it herself and there is little to no transition between it and the length of the rest of her hair.
Watching your videos is gonna make me the best kitchen sink non professional hair do-er on the block
Omg 😂😂😂 cracking up at this!!
Hi kristy genning gunkey highlight if hear is natural better about gunky highlight what bleach you us what tonur you us no
Hi kristy genning what color your mennqu can you tell you hav to tell moor nic lik aprial lol she is hear dresser
I'm currently studying to be a hairdresser and we learn a whole different technique of sectioning! We have five sections. One that goes from the middle of their head to the back and then ear to ear!! We call it the cross!! Do you also use it or is that just a thing that exists in my country? I'm from Sweden btw!
Oh yeah! I don't think we called it that but I know what you're talking about
Thanks so much for taking the time to do this. Super helpful. My only criticism would be that the left side was done chunky and the right said was done with fine weaves. Maybe a good comparison would be to do the left side with the same placement as you did but the same size weaves as the right side
I actually did a standard slice, not chunky at all
Thank you so much for taking time to offer these tutorials! If it takes longer to foil the back to front, do you suggest using lower volume developer so it won’t be too developed from the front?
Yes! That way it processes evenly. Unless they have very dark hair, I'd stay with 20 vol and just pull out earlier. But generally darker hair has the strength to sit longer
Great point about using the entire foil!! Makes so much sense. Thank you for doing this great video.
Of course! Thank you for watching!
Very cool😊I hope I don't remember the don'ts ,that was a long part of the vid , I'll totally confuse some of this in my mind lol🎉at 1 point I got distracted and lost the thread a sec and had to watch some again and go back silly me😂but thanks , very useful and I think the do sides brill❤

Thank you for this video, I now know what has been happening to my hair highlights at the salon. I always walk away with "roots" and chunks. I always ask for highlights that look blended, no roots or chunks and it never happens.

How do prefer to do a paint between 🤔. Thanks girl I’m sharing this video with the team❤️ your amazing I appreciate these videos.
So simple! you are the best educator!!!! Love your work! Thank you!!!
Oh wow! That means so much, thank you!
Hey Kristi! I just found your channel and I’m obsessed. I’ve been watching all your videos the last week haha. Can I ask for some hair advice? Last week I made the stupid mistake of having my hair dresser take me from blonde to brunette. I was a level 8 dimensional blonde and she put a 5n Demi permanent brown on my hair. I absolutely hate the way that it looks and I want to get rid of it. Would you recommend a color remover, or will I most likely have to get back into the salon and re-bleach everything? Let me know if you have any tips. Thanks so much and love your videos xx
Hello! Thank you for watching! I kind of wonder if it still just kind of fade out on its own? Unless you want it out now, then maybe try a Malibu treatment. That could pull it out. Just be prepared to be kind of brassy no matter what you do.
@@hairbykristijennings6648 thanks so much for your response. I’ll give that a try (and I’m definitely prepared for it to be orange haha)
On the "good" side, are you alrenating between doing a slice then a weave, repeate? or are you doing a weave the entire side? Thanks!
Very good on explaining the details of foiling - we sometimes forget about details & wonder why things screw up.thanks for showing - I stopped folding my foils on the sides unless I have a part that’s a tiny area..
When you say, "don't move the foil once it already lay down." Does it mean you don't do the technique where you put highlights or lowlights then colour the gray roots right after to process at the same time?
Right, that causes slipping. If someone wants subtle highlights then I’ll do the roots, then go through and highlight over. The bleach will lift through the color.
I like the don't side look. But that is the look I like personally. Great video. ☺️
Good lord, I'm more on the "don't side" versus the "right side" but hey, we weren't born knowing so continue practice and diligence will get me to the "right side" LOL :) Thanks for this video. Been binging on your videos and can happily say I have been using your money piece method...haven't mastered it yet but not definitely not where I used to be!
Heyyy! I love hearing about binge watching! We all start somewhere, we all keep learning !
You are a great professional
you really care about your clients
i can tell that!
Thanks so much
