How To Use A Board For Highlights:
- Using her signature Smart Blonding placement technique for max impact, Carly takes fine weaves of hair using her comb.
- Next, Carly places the foil on the board, so it’s underneath the section.
- Holding the weaved section taught against the board, she fully saturates the hair. This will blend any dark tones into a golden blonde, without any harsh lines or heavy contrast.
Pro Tip: Remove the board to saturate the ends, if needed.
