When a client wants a bold but blended face frame I like to leave the face frame out and save it for last. Before we start the service I show the client in the mirror and ask them how thick they want it to be so that we are on the same page about their preferences. I prefer to do it this way because it ensures an even lift on both sides of the face. I found when I was trying different techniques the lift wasn’t even and my sections didn’t always come out even. I start by taking a slice thin enough to see through, leaving only a few baby hairs in the front, and then I tease the section, apply lightener and feather up Next, I take another teased slice, making sure to push the tease out before applying the lightener. For the following teased slice, I tease more and apply the lightener lower than the last foil. With each foil, I tease more as I work my way toward the back of the head. This creates a nice gradient effect with depth, helping the color appear more lived-in. How may foils you add is dependent on the client and their preference As always, make sure to leave out any previously lightened ends.
