Foils & Bleaching...The Differences

To acquire the color results you want, know how to ask your stylist for the correct treatment, whether it is bleaching or highlights. However, do not attempt to go for a drastic change in a single salon visit. Work with your stylist to change your hair color in stages to achieve the most healthy results. 



Foils

  • When it comes to having your hair highlighted or lowlighted, a stylist will brush color onto a strand of your hair and fold it into a strip of foil. This keeps the color from touching the rest of your hair, enabling the length to remain its natural color. When stylists use this process, hair will end up lightened or darkened by two shades from its original color. In this instance, using color is the best option, as using bleach in foils can strip hair of its integrity.

Bleach

  • Bleach strips hair of its existing color, whether you have color-treated hair or not. Bleaching hair will always damage your locks to some extent, so take good care of your hair by using deep conditioner and avoiding hot tools. However, bleach does work to lighten hair up to four shades in a single treatment, which is why stylists often employ it when clients want to change shades naturally. When a stylist applies bleach to hair, it completely saturates locks without the assistance of foils. The client then must wait until the hair reaches its lightened stage, after which the stylist washes out the bleach.
