The same is true when we are deciding how and where to place foils.\r\n\r\nThere are 3 ways in which we can place our foils:\r\n\r\n\"Horizontal,\r\n

But let\u2019s take it further and discuss how the angle of your foil placement affects your results, and how the direction of the hair fall should actually determine the angle at which you place your foils.\r\n\r\nA horizontal placement creates a diffused and blended result. Think of it as a veil of colour.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_411\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"433\"]\"Four Fine slice, horizontal placement.[\/caption]\r\n\r\nA vertical placement creates a defined streak of colour.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_413\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"433\"]\"A Fine slice, vertical placement.[\/caption]\r\n\r\nA diagonal placement will give you a result that is somewhere in between horizontal and vertical.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_412\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"433\"]\"A Fine slice, diagonal forward placement.[\/caption]\r\n\r\nPretty straightforward, right? So why did our horizontal mohawk placement above always turn out as defined streaks of colour? Because you must think of the angle of your foil in relation to the head shape and\u00a0direction of the hair fall.<\/em>\r\n\r\nIf you look at the mohawk section again, but in relation to the hair falling straight down from the part, you will see that these foils were in fact placed vertically!\r\n\r\n\"\"\r\n\r\nAnytime that you are placing foils, no matter the angle, you must remember that you are working on a round surface. The hair will fall differently depending on the area of the head and the natural growth of the hair.\r\n\r\nFor example:\r\n\r\n\"\"\r\n\r\nThe hairline in this example falls slightly towards the face, while the hair that falls from the crown curves around the back of the head. So what would a true horizontal placement look like in this case?\r\n\r\n\"Foil\r\n\r\nYou can see how the foil placement follows the curve of the head and the foils are now placed horizontal to the hair fall.\r\n\r\nThere is no one-size-fits-all foil placement that will be perfect for every client. This is because every client has a unique growth pattern. Discuss the desired results during the consultation with your client and plan your sections and angles according to the direction of the hair fall and in relation to the desired result.\r\n
