We can say loud and clear that the time of “knitted” highlights techniques, closed to the roots with a pickup sticks effect on the head, belongs in the past ! Today, as in many fields, the trend is toward natural result !
So after the tie & dye, the ombré hair or the sombré hair, the new wave - without wordplay - is the foilyage ! Very trendy in New York for some time now, it is a balayage made with special brushes : The sprush.
Originally, silicone brushes of different shapes and sizes recommended by some brands for the application of the straightening. Diverted from its original use, this silicone brush enables a balayage result almost invisible. Paradox : The word foil is a wink to the strands wrapped in aluminum during the last century ?
Seriously, the foilyage enables to obtain a blurred effect thanks to the spread of the product randomly applied with a silicone brush. This hair tendency gives a luminous effect after a summer in the sun. You avoid to show that you've been to the hairdresser like the muse of the moment Miranda Kerr who chose that color result.
