I was recently asked the following question:
Are the chemicals used in foiled highlighting different than the chemicals used in the cap highlighting method?
In case you’ve ever wondered about the same question, let me explain.
For a very short answer… chemicals used in the cap and foil highlight are the same.
The difference between the two is that a cap will give you an all over highlight on the head. It is more suitable for people with short hair. If you have long hair and get a cap highlight, you are going to get more breakage.
The foil highlight is great because it lets you place exactly where you want to put the highlight, and lets you determine how thin or chunky you want the color to be. It also gives you an option of putting lowlights in at the same time.
(Lowlighting meaning a darker color)
The foil also gets the color closer to your scalp. Since foiling requires more skill, that is why it is more expensive, but the end result always comes out great!
