Highlights and gradients have been the cry in hairdressing for years but among so many techniques and finishes it is very easy to get lost. If we talk about balayage we all know what type of highlights we are referring to with its famous sweep of color, but what if we say 'foilyage'? Perhaps here you feel confused, and we are anticipating you: it is the same but with another technique and a very nice 'twist' in the final result .
The foilyage wicks, which have been sweeping since 2019 but will live their moment of splendor next Fall / Winter 2020-2021, also achieve that hair degradation by dyeing freehand strands that blend with the base color of the hair but differ from the balayage in which these highlights are wrapped in aluminum foil so that the dye rises faster (which, incidentally, is ideal for women without time) and is much more striking and evident. The highlights are more marked.
By lightening the strands with silver foil, colder tones are achieved, the contrast is greater, the highlight more evident and the maximum illumination. Therefore, it is a perfect technique for brunettes or chestnuts who want to illuminate their dark hair , although it is a suitable technique for all hair and looks great on blondes.
It is done through a set of highlights , which will be born from a few centimeters from the root of the hair, although you can also put some highlights from the root to give intensity to the color (especially around the face). If the balayage transitions are quite discreet, in the foilyage the finish is more powerful but not at all strident and very beautiful since it respects the base color at all times. The hair will be very luminous with reflections that mimic the sun's rays in a more obvious way, but without losing that natural aspect that is now the ultimate in beauty and hairdressing.
