There are three main methods to achieve highlights ... Foil technique involves weaving out small strands of hair from a subsection. The selected strands are then placed over foil or plastic wrap, and the appropriate lightener or high-lift tint is applied. The foil is folded to prevent lifting any unwoven hair, and processed as desired. With this technique, the colorist can place highlighted strands accurately in the style.
