Hiya all
Just did a new client for a cut and blowdry. She had previously had highlights in her hair. Three colours apparently although I could only see two. They were done in foils. The only thing was that one of the colours was a light blonde. She was quite dark about a base 5 or 6. The hair is the very straight type with no movement around the sides or bottom. The type that once cut well sat very close to the neck and side in front of the ear. A perfect cut for nice concise layering etc etc. No blowdrying needed much and small ears. Great. Did the cut and blow dried it. Then horror of horrors the blonde highlights down the back are two rows of what I can only describe as spots or horizontal lines. It offended my eyes and made the cut look like it had horizontal lines in it. I had to keep her there longer and put some 6/0 colour touch on the bits I picked out that showed the worst and darken them down wrapping them in foils. It worked perfectly. But she wants to keep having different coloured highlights and through the the hair and in longer part she can just about get away with it, but down the back and in front of the ears most definitely not. She isn't a candidate for cap highlights as she wants the look of more than one colour but I know if she had foils again with it being so straight and so dark she will end up with spots again. What would others do with this? My foiling skills are not up to short hair only normally do foils on longer hair. Any ideas would be gratefully received.
