What Is “Fold & Lock” & Why Should You Use It?
Sick of seeing harsh lines in foiled blondes? Your foils are probably slipping. Jessica started using this fold and lock technique to secure foils so they don’t move. It’s also great for applying root touch-ups in between foils. Here’s the step-by-step breakdown!
Fold & Lock Technique Steps:
- Prep the hair with Joico Defy Damage Pro-Series 1 to shield hair from damage, improve color deposit and provide greater lift.
- Using a long tail comb (this will prevent from piercing the foils), fold the top part of the foil over with the comb pointing away from you.
- Start painting the section with Joico Blonde Life and 20-volume Joico Lumishine Developer, applying with a brush.
- Fold the bottom part of the foil halfway up the section, then fold the rest up and a little bit over the foil line.
- Stick the tail comb underneath the foil (where the lip is) and push forward to the where the top and bottom will meet, then fold the sides in.
Pro Tip: For the foil pattern, Jessica works on a slanted Mohawk section to prevent the top of the head having a stripey color effect—aka throwback Kelly Clarkson highlights!
