Trend Alert!!! Low Maintenance, Piecy, Foilayage Highlights | Less Than 10 Foils!!!

Hey guys, if you have a client that just wants super minimal dimension in their hair, then this is the perfect service for you. This will give them kind of a stronger money piece but really minimal pieces throughout the rest of their hair. You can follow me on instagram at christy at the cottage all right, here's my clients before you can see it's actually pretty long, but the ends need a good snip, so we're gon na trim it a little bit and do some more layering. Well, it's the end of the week. It'S friday, i never work fridays. So if i look like crap that's what are we talking about? I usually always like. Never look amazing. So so, if i look like crap, that's just on par with the rest of everything else, so um, no, i never work fridays and the reason why i'm working on fridays, because a long time ago, a client messaged me - and i think it was like the only Day she could get in and i was like yeah i'll, just i'll just put you on a friday and then all week i've been like. I have to work friday and dreading it, but i'm trying to have a positive attitude. I'M trying to be thankful to the lord that i have been blessed with a clientele that i have to find her on a day off that i can work because i'm booked out so far. So thank you jesus. I appreciate what you have given me, so i'm gon na switch my attitude from being negative to being thankful so um. So what we are doing today is, thankfully, also um. The color really shouldn't take that long uh. She has really really dark hair. It'S really long. Don'T mind my nails from a color lesson. I didn't wear gloves um, but she just wants like a chocolate money piece and maybe like a few strands. I'Ve been seeing like it's been kind of popular to do like what i read in an article called flash foils, which isn't the term that i would use it for, but where you basically just take little little pieces ran it like the minute little pieces and just Brighten, those up so um we're gon na just do a few pieces of those and then mostly like the money piece area. So that's what we are going to do today, i'm gon na be really happy about it. Just a little story time, while i'm mixing my bleach here so um by the way, if you're looking at my eyebrow right here, it's because i have to get them touched up still, so i don't. I know i don't want my eyebrows um. So there's a whole bunch of fellows that are working on the break on the building across the street, and i was like you know: they've been here for almost like two weeks. I thought i'm just gon na be nice and get them all like a dozen donuts or something so while i was waiting for my client, i was going to order them like doordash them. Some donuts and um. I was about to hit send 25 for some donuts. Are you kidding me, these prices for everything is getting crazy um, it wasn't even like it was like the fees it was like, maybe 15 for the donuts and then um. It was like that added fees and tip and all that stuff that jumped it up an extra ten dollars, i'm like no, i just i'm not spending 25 dollars on some donuts. Like i love myself, some donuts, i ain't paying 25 for donuts that i'm not even gon na have so anyways just wanted to share that. I think prices are getting bonkers, all right so back to her hair and i'm asking her right now is this where she generally always parts her hair. So it is so we're just going to start in the front. I normally do my hairline foils, but because she doesn't necessarily want to be bright all the way around her hairline we're just going to start at the money piece right here. So i'm taking a pretty generous size right here and i'm going to weave it and back comb it and that's going to create a little bit of a cushion just at the very root. She wants it to be a little bit more bold, of a money piece. But she doesn't want it to be necessarily like super strappy and tight up to the root where she's gon na have like really bad grow out, so doing a weave and then back combing. It will help it have just a little bit softer of a grow and blend into her roots, a little bit more. So just in regards to lifting really dark hair. I hear a lot of people say that they have a hard time getting good lift when they're working with dark hair - and i don't know if you can tell, but i'm really, laying on really thick the amount of bleach that i'm using. I feel like a lot of people. You know with really fine hair or lighter hair. You can apply like a really small thin amount of bleach, but with dark hair, you really have to add a really really thick, like almost toothpaste layer to the hair and really saturate it fully um. That'S gon na help you get the best lift when you're dealing with dark hair. So for this next section right here, we're just gon na take not even as big of a section as before. We'Re gon na do a little bit thinner of a slice. Um. Sorry, a little bit thinner of a section weave it and then back comb. It again and repeat the same thing just apply the lightener and because she doesn't want it like too strappy of a section. I asked her how thick of a money piece do you want, and she kind of pointed out where i was at and said this is about. You know the size that she wants. If somebody wants like an extremely bold money piece, they can always do like. You know do slices all the way up to the root if they want it to stand out a lot um or you know this is her kind of showing where she wants the money piece to be at and so she's happy with the size of it. So there's lots of different ways to do a money piece depending on what your client wants. If they want it to be really blended or really bright and bold, just weave it back comb it or just do straight slices if they want it more bold. So whatever your client wants talk to them about it, how how bright they want to see pictures and then do the money piece according to what their preference is. Oh my gosh, i'm such a loser like i always try to talk about the haircut beforehand and we did before. But i guess i just forgot. The facial framing part, so her facial framing is actually pretty long and with the money piece that we're doing. I'M glad that i asked because i would have been cutting off like a large majority of the color that we're doing so, i'm re-trimming her facial framing right now. So that way, when we do the color, i can make sure that she's gon na have some coming through the length of her facial framing instead of just you know, just dropping off right at her chin area. So now i'm gon na go through and just make sure everything's. Even i'm gon na start cutting this a little bit longer. Just because those pieces that are in the foil are gon na fall a little bit shorter than what this is um and then i'm gon na start foiling kind of off of the sides of the money piece just to help bring some of that color down into The facial framing area a little bit more all right now that we got the facial framing resolved. I'M going to start my next sectioning for her foil and i'm going to go directly under where she parts her hair at the very edge of the money piece section that we did and you can see. This hair is a little bit longer than the facial framing, and this is going to fall towards her face. So all of that color that we would have cut off. If we did the color and then cut her facial framing, we could have potentially been cutting off any of that, like the blonde not blonde but like because that's not the color we're doing. But when we tone it, the caramelly tone that we're doing we would have potentially cut off all of those longer pieces. And then she would have been left with just like a really bright money piece and then nothing through the rest of the length of her facial. Framing, so that's why we're now going to go through and add this piece, because this will fall a little bit longer than her money piece and that color will extend down through the ends of her facial framing. So we're going to do this on both sides. Again, just weave back comb, so it blends, and this is going to fall underneath her hair. So it's not going to be anything that she's going to see on top it's just going to be where she sees it through the ends of her facial. Framing you guys, this is really the easiest foil, so i'm just going about half an inch behind the money piece to leave her some of her natural and we're just gon na take the smallest little section, i'm just gon na take the smallest little weaves back comb Them these little strands of hair and foil, as you know, feather up into the root area, so that leaves her a little bit of some grow out, because again she doesn't want it to be like too strong of a grow out. She wants it to look really. My new natural and just teeny little pieces so doing it. This way, i feel like is really easy, because sometimes, if you like work on one side and go on the other side like if you just paint these teeny little strands, those can get lost in the hair. And then you have to make sure that you're doing the same exact spot on the other side, but then what? If they part their hair on the side then, but like all of that color might fall on just one side of the head. So i like to just go straight down the mohawk and just weave thin little pieces and back comb it and it's going to blend really nicely and it's not going to be too heavy of a of a little piece. That'S falling down the sides of their head! You'Ll see when i'm done that these are still just really fine little strands of hair, because we are back combing it and weaving it. It'S just gon na fall evenly on both sides of the head, you're gon na have balance and you're not gon na have to worry about wherever she parts her hair. If she grabs a little bit more on one side or the other, is she gon na? Have balance or is all the blo is all the blonde or the color gon na fall on the other side of the head and not this side? So if you just go straight down the center or if they part their hair on the side, if you work off the side of their head, then you'll make sure that no matter where the hair falls, they have those little bits of color on either side. So i'm really just doing maybe like i, i can't remember, like maybe five foils back or something like that. It'S really really simple! I'M just going back beyond um. You know where her part ends and we're just gon na do one more foil back there to make sure she has a few little strands of falling in the back. Also, it's like literally the simplest foil, i'm all about working, it's smarter, not harder. I know people want to do like a balayage and just go through and paint little strands of hair and i feel like you're just creating too much work for yourself, because now you have to go through maybe and do like three times as much work. To make sure you're getting these different pieces evenly throughout the hair or if you just go through the top of the head straight down the mohawk center just put in five foils. It'S gon na fall evenly all around her head um on both sides, so we're just gon na finish up these little foils and because we're not trying to lift to like a 10 or anything. She doesn't have to process too long. So um we're going for like level 7 level 8 because she wants to stay nice and chocolatey just kind of like a warm, lighter brown color, so um she's only gon na process for maybe 30 minutes. So now that she's done processing we're going to check her hair, see how she's lightened and is she done? Do i need to reapply that's another thing with dark hair, i feel like people don't reapply their hair, they don't know to reapply so then they get stuck at like a level. Six or seven always reapply. If you need to, and then also you'll see me blast your hair with heat, just to punch it out of this like level six, so we're just gon na finish that up and she'll just finish up like 10 minutes after this part of the service, all right, When it comes to using heat on your clients, this is about as much as i do. Usually the hair is already lightened, and it's just those last few foils that you're waiting on, so i always just blast them with some heat. I never put them under the dryer, so you can see that she lifted really nicely got to that perfect level. 7 8, which is all we wanted to get to okay, so my client is lifted, probably to like a seven eight or so she doesn't want to be too late. She kind of wants to stay, probably like a level five six, so i think we're ready to rinse. We obviously don't want her to get too much lighter, so she wants to be like a chocolate color. So what i'm thinking that i'm gon na mix her with? Is this um six six, which is a dark blonde chocolate? And then i think i might add, just like some straight natural like five or actually no, i have some 565, which is a light brown chocolate. Gold, so that might also be, i think, i'll mix those two together, so the five six five and uh six, six okay. So i'm doing half and half of these together with six volume and i'm letting this sit for about 15 minutes. All right. You can see here as i'm blow drying that it's really soft into the root area and then it gradually gets more bold through, like the mid section through the ends. So that's perfect because it will be a little bit brighter and more bold, but still really soft. At the root area - and here is perfect to see those little strands through the rest of her hair, doing that weave and back combing it sometimes a weave looks heavy, but you can see, as i'm combing, that those little strands are still just very, very subtle. Little slivers of color through the rest of her hair and a lot of you guys always ask like how do i style my client's hair, but i know a lot of you guys, also really don't like watching the styling part. So i'm just gon na leave a few little clips of how i curl the hair so i'll, smooth the root out just to get the frizz and then smooth the ends out. And then i usually just curl like two or three times around in the mid section and i curl all of the hair towards the center back on both sides and that's going to help create just a really nice soft loose wave. I let the curl set and dry or cool down before i comb it out, and then you can see here as i'm combing, that she has a really nice soft root. No frizz the curl doesn't go that high up into the crown area and then through the ends, are nice and relaxed. Also, so that's what helps create more of a nice soft body wave just make sure you're curling everything to the back center, and here i am just showing her her hair, making sure that the tone is okay. Is it too warm is the? Is the tone, perfect and she's really happy with how it turned out? So here's her before again, we just took up a little snip of the end since she's trying to get her length, and sometimes you just have to go through and add a little bit of layering to get those dead ends off, and here is the after. She was really happy with the color, like the perfect caramelly chocolatey brown, and it looks really good with her natural color too. So i hope you guys like this video. You can see those little pieces coming through a little bit more they're dimensional, but they're not like such high contrasting such chunky, big pieces that they're gon na grow out really harshly or anything they blend really nicely up into the root but they're. Just like the perfect little dimensional pieces of color to break up the hair, thank you guys so much for watching the video. I hope you like this and don't forget to like and subscribe and also um just just watch through the end of the video. If you want to go on a little donut journey with me, okay, i couldn't order any donuts, but i got off work really early, and so i thought there's like a grocery store, just right down the road. So i went, i went and grabbed some donuts don't mind my gross fingers, so they didn't, they didn't have like a largest box, so they had like. I grabbed some powdered, some cake crunch and good old fashion and i'm not gon na have any myself. I thought. I'D bring your crew some donuts, yeah they're, all working so hard. You
