The 4-Foil Money Piece: Do THIS To Save Time!

Timesaving Money Piece: Everything from Formulation to Application!

What is Farouk Systems Artist Wesley Palmer’s (@wesdoeshair) secret to a bright, blended money piece without over-foiling? His signature four-foil placement! “This application saves me so much time because it takes out the guesswork in every step and is perfect for the client who wants a bright face frame but a natural grow out,” he shared. 

We’re breaking down the entire technique below, plus how Wes uses the LG CHI ColorMaster Factory to save time when formulating!

First: Start with the hair’s natural fall

“You really want to use the natural fall for a face frame,” Wes explains. “It helps it look more natural but also avoids any struggle when sectioning.” 

Here’s how: Place a comb on the client’s scalp and notice where the head starts to round. Everything in front of the curve can be included in the money piece. 

Alternate The Technique For A High-Impact Placement 

Using a four-foil placement on the sides and the top, Wes alternates his application to create a bright, bold money piece in half the time! We’re serious—here’s his roadmap:

• First Foil: Avoid a harsh grow out with a weave. For more blend insurance, gently brush out the client’s baby hairs and leave them out of the foil.  

• Second Foil: Take a slice directly behind the first foil. This will be the brightest section of the face frame!

• Third Foil: Take another slice but skim a small subsection from the bottom, leaving hair out between the second and third foil, creating some dimension. 

• Fourth Foil: Finish the subsection off with a weave to marry the entire section together.
