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!

The DONT is how we were taught in cosmo school wtf ?!?! Lol! Thank you for this !

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!❤

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’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.

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!

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!!).

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.

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

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.
