Basically, practice makes perfect, and builds up speed. Practice at home on a mannequin to help you. As far as techniques, it depends on the desired result of the client. For a basic foil, I start at the nape of the neck, weave out about 3 or 4 chunky strands, then leave out about 1-2 inches between the foils, this creates more contrast between the light and the dark, also speeding up time. On top, I weave the bang section, then slice the rest going towards the back of the head, and then weave out the last foil at the crown. The more I do it, the better my speed gets, and the more I enjoy it! |
