To get the foil close to the scalp, a key technique involves carefully manipulating the hair section and the foil using a comb.
Mastering the Technique for Close-to-Scalp Foil Application
Achieving foil placement that is snug and close to the scalp line is crucial for creating clean, seamless highlights right from the root. According to one method, this precision is accomplished through specific actions during the application process.
Here are the steps involved:
- Weave the Hair Slice: Begin by selecting and weaving the slice of hair you intend to highlight. Weaving helps create a clean separation of strands.
- Position the Foil Snugly: Place the foil under the woven section, positioning it so it is "nice and snug" against the head, near the scalp line.
- Use the Back of the Comb: Take the back of your comb.
- Push Foil Up to Flatten: Gently use the back of the comb to "push that foil up to flatten it" against the head. This action helps to press the foil securely against the root area, ensuring it lies flush and close to the scalp.
By following these steps, particularly using the back of the comb to push the foil upwards and flatten it, you can achieve a really clean section with the foil placed closely and securely against the scalp.
