My stylist has been using a cap for highlighting instead of foil. Is this common? Which method gives the best results? Also, after he has finished highlighting he uses a glosser all over my hair. Has anyone ever had this done after highlighting?

Hi, actually, I use a cap more often (but I'm a really small business and not that fast with foils). For smaller placings, foils are great...and for short hair drawing it on.
Some hairstylists have the cap hilighting down to a science and they are still awesome and more natural looking than with foils.
It's not better or worse....although some stylists are foiling snobs and consider it lazy to use a cap. Pshaw!!
After hilighting, for some of my clients I use Shades EQ by REdken to empart shine and/or colour. Depends on the end result.
On the short hair clients...I'll do Shades first, haircut and then draw the bleach on to just lighten the colour to the desired shade.
Questions:...do you not like the end result of your hilights?
.............how short is your hair?
.............what would you prefer?
.............are your hilights blonde?
.............what is your base colour?

Thanks for your reply...My hair is just past my shoulders. My highlights are blonde. In fact all my hair appears to be blonde with dark underneath. I would prefer more of a highlighted look. My natural hair is a dark dirty blonde. As my hair is growing the natural part really shows up. I have been going to my stylist for 5 years. My natural hair is starting to turn a little gray. At this point I'm not sure if I should just color all my hair or stick with the highlights.
