How to Apply Highlight and Lowlight Foils to Hair

Highlighting and lowlighting are popular hair coloring techniques that involve adding lighter or darker shades of color to your hair. Foiling is a technique that is commonly used to apply these colors to the hair in a precise and controlled manner. Here's how you can apply highlight and lowlight foils to your hair:

1. Start by sectioning your hair into small sections. You can use hair clips to keep each section separate.

2. Decide which sections of hair you want to highlight and which ones you want to lowlight. This will depend on the look you're going for and the natural color of your hair.

3. Mix your hair color according to the instructions on the package. You'll need a separate color for the highlights and the lowlights.

4. Take a small section of hair and place it on top of a foil strip. Make sure the foil is long enough to cover the entire section of hair.

5. Apply the highlight or lowlight color to the hair using a brush. Start at the top of the section and work your way down, making sure to saturate the hair evenly.

6. Fold the foil in half to enclose the hair, then fold the sides up to create a tight seal.

7. Repeat this process for each section of hair you want to highlight or lowlight, making sure to keep the sections separate and the foils tight.

8. Leave the color on for the recommended time according to the instructions on the package. This will vary depending on the type of color you're using.

9. After the recommended time has passed, remove the foils one at a time and rinse the hair thoroughly with water until the water runs clear.

10. Apply a conditioner to the hair to help hydrate and soften it, then rinse it out.

11. Style your hair as desired.

Note: If you're unsure about how to apply highlight and lowlight foils to your hair, it's best to seek the advice of a professional hairstylist. They can help you choose the right colors and technique for your hair type and style, and ensure that the color is applied evenly and effectively.
