I like these techniques but personally always do the opposite-foiling back to front (crown to front hairline) in mohawk sections & go from bottom to top on sides so once foils are in they stay put to prevent bleeding😁
My hairdressers always leave me with spots in my (middle of the back) long hair. They always blame me! From saying I moved around, or My hair is just too long. I shouldn't end up with orange bands at the top of my hair that have to be fixed afterwards. A root smudge last time basically brought the root line back down to where I looked like I needed my hair foiled the same day I got my hair foiled. And not to mention...I wear my hair in a ponytail everyday & every highlight section looked like extention tracks at the root. How can I just get the correct placement for a ponytail/bun?
@@morganrichards1694 I think that happens because it’s not feathered up the section. I normally start the most saturation at the midshaft then lightly brush up. This will keep it from bleeding.
@@TheMkgirl77 I try to get close to the scalp but can’t, and it never stays tight to the section. I absolutely hate doing foils lol but can do a good HL with stacked on the mowhawk
I never even knew there was an alternate way of placing the foils! I love the finished look! I also loved the blond color, stunning! Thank you for sharing this technique with us!
I was thinking the same thing. The hair was taking up every centimeter of the foil with the fan technique, I just kept thinking my client's hair is going to fall out the sides if I don't place the foil perfectly. If I do a moneypiece that takes care of the problem, plus brightens the front.
my hairdresser has always done me the fan technique. I often tie my hair back and you could see the light colored stripes with a strong unnatural contrast. during the lock down I discovered the mowhawk technique, I did the bleaching by myself and the result is much more natural. I make very thin sections and I am fine!
@@Missquichante My hairdresser didn't know what a shadow roots is ;-) and the stripes were over the entire length of hairs... Now I'm obviously doing shadow roots by myself and the result is sooo natural and blended.
@@srky4346 I have a 6-7 base, so I used lightner powder (not the strongest, up to 6 levels) + 30 vol for 30min with aluminium foils for additional heat. The hairs turn out so fair and not yellow or orange.
I agree, depeesify. I would like to have seen them before the shadow root was applied because I was thinking the fan placement would leave stripes near the root.
I’m glad you said you shadow rooted them because every time I’ve tried the fan technique or any horizontal highlights even if they are super fine weaves and sections it looks crazy without a shadow root.
Thank you for the education. We didn’t even learn how to do foils 35 years ago when I went to school. We pulled hair though a cap. This is so much better. I’ve seen this done at hair shows, but you did a really good job explaining the placement of the foils for the desired effects. Great job. I’ll have to get a mannequin to practice on.lol
Love this comment. The caps are still sold at sally's... i'm learning everything on youtube, just so I can do my own hair, so I do have some caps, and ready to try foils on my own head, once again. I just have a blonde, & would like some dimension, no bleeding, and something easy enough to do on my own head.
I had several “ah-ha” moments with this! I love the results of both and can see how they would benefit needs for different clients! Thank you for sharing!
That was very helpful. I've been trying to learn how to foil myself, and I wasn't sure which way was going to save me time. Clearly the fan method saves time and also provides that dimension I'm looking for. Thank you so much for this!
You were fantastic! I really enjoyed this video, I was super excited, it was a great idea to show the two techniques, until you shadowed the root! I feel like it softened the result down to the point where it was more of a client visual end result, not an educational visual result! You did not need to do that! I wanted and needed to see the raw highlights results, so I could truly see the way the highlights looked and fell! Not every client wants shadow roots, even if it is the trend right now it will go out of fashion but these applications will not. A clean, raw result would have REALLY helped the professionals in an educational way. This is just a thought for next time, dry the the hair and let us see the raw highlights, then shadow root and let us see that. Thank you for your video

Thank you so much for the class you are a great instructor very knowledgeable and easy to follow they don't forget how beautiful you are your voice is very in chanting
In the fan technique you did 10 foils total ? Also the first six you didn't drop hair down between them ? What was your toner for the foils and how long you left the bleach in ,? Thx
Great video! Just had a client who want more dimensions and was not sure how I should get it accomplished. I got it done but this method is better! Thank you!
Wow this was absolutely best tutorial and great description showing step by step and what effects will each achieve. I ve always had the mow hawk done and it was too much of blended uniform highlights. Now I know that the wave is way to go for the dimension. !!thank you
I like both results but really love that fan I like the contrast it provides and the regrowth always looks less obvious. I think to get that overall uniform yet dimensional lighening the Mohawk achieves that and the fan gives more punchy bright contrasted result that just speaks to me. I’ll be sending this video to my stylist so she can see what I’ve been trying to convey as a non stylist. Im almost solid bleach, with a few dimensional level 8/9 throughout to tone down the platinum I tiny bit but with massive regrowth right now. With the fan highlight and some filler lowlight on the mid to ends I think I could end up with a perfect solution to full bleach.
you've earned a new subbie. I am so glad you showed how to flip the foil once it's folded, to one side to the other, without it slipping or bleeding onto the next subsection of hair. Thanks so much for this vid! They both look great, but I think the fan will be best for me to attempt on my own head!
@@KenraProfessional You're the best. I literally used the fan technique on my daughter's hair, the blonde is now cotton candy pink, and the rest hot hot pink; using the look under a black light for her bday party. it's the best work i've ever done. i always thought when using foils, adding bleach and inch down first was just to get the hair to stick to the foil to prevent sliding, but it's mainly to prevent bleeding like you said.... amazing teacher. just wanted to share :). be well!
It would have been better if she would have show the results before the sadow root! And with both mannequins part the same way not one zig zag and one straight
the other reason I love the fan is for my widow's peak, I dont get any lines going horizontally. Thanks for the great vid. I love the fan technique as well for the natural aesthetic results
I really like this video! I usually do the Mohawk section for most of my foliage but I’ll try this fan section out looks like it’s just easier and saves so much time
Nice video I wanted you to flip the mannequin fan hair around to see how it looked ; anyway I will use this technique on my guest..thank for the education tip.
Just want to say thank you for sharing your knowledge it is very helpful and make good things always come to you for giving so much girl from yourself❤

Thanx a ton how nicely u explained. It really helped me a lot in gaining the knowledge. I am new to this world , ur tips actually gave new dimensions to my theory. thnx a ton. Love from india 🇮🇳
I’m applying to go to hair school for this January 🤞🏻so I’ve been trying to learn as much as I can before going and I thought this was very informative AND easy to understand/follow. Thank you!!!
Good luck. Please practice color and cuts on friends and mannequins starting today. You wont learn much in school. I learned the most on youtube and then practice on my own. Have fun!
Hello Kernra. I'm Crystal Elk, from Vancouver BC Canada 🇨🇦 Great tutorial! I'm a new subscriber now! So happy I found you! I've been growing my hair back after 2 summers ago, my bff paid to cut all my hair off! @ salon, I must of been out of my mind. To do something I said I would never do, is cut my hair short? Now it's 7 inches down my back! Ya hoo! But it's all natural... My hair color is mousie brown... It has a touch of light brown & dark smoky grey! ( Not age grey!) Always has been this color under a Blonde, strawberry blonde Which I like best most my life since I was a kid we used lemon juice & then Sun In! Ha ha ha! BBM. I started Modeling @12 yrs old & back in the 60,s & '70,s, the. They had control of everything?¿ Sending positive vibes your way. Peace love dream's!🎃 💞🌐📷📽️⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐💯🌅👽🌏👻🌎🧟🌍☠️🤣🕊️💖🌌😉
Omg I do the SAME thing I don’t leave enuf space in between the foils. I only leave the tiny piece in between apparently I’m not giving enough sections to create dimensions
Hi! You are able to use any combination of foiling methods, techniques, and angles on the sides and back of the head using either of these methods. Because the mohawk and fan cover recession to recession, they essentially cover the entire head when the hair falls. When doing a horizontal weave in the mohawk section technique, it may be easiest and most consistent to continue doing that down the back as far as you would prefer. Hope this helps!
Hi there, I would love to know what You mean when You talk about dimensión. I know what that Word means but i cannot get the idea of that. Thank You so much, Santiago from Argentina
Hi, David! Thanks for the love! How many foils you do and what areas you cover is entirely up to you and the client in the consultation. Oftentimes, a partial highlight will cover all of the major areas and this is enough. Other times, clients may want to do full highlights or want more of an overall blonde effect. Just make sure that you charge appropriately for the services and the time it takes for you to complete them. We hope this helps!
This was so helpful! Thank you so much for your thorough explanation. I would love to see how you apply the shadow root. I'm assuming its after you wash out the bleach. Is it on wet hair?
We're so happy you loved the tutorial! It completely depends on the client & desired end result. We'll make sure to include more of that information in future videos!
