Foils for professional colour techniques

Why foils are indispensable in the salon

Foils prevent colour products from running through to other hair sections, allowing you to work in a controlled way and achieve tight results. They also retain heat, which speeds up the break-in process and allows for more intense colour results. For techniques such as balayage, highlights and creative blending, foils are indispensable to isolate the hair and allow the product to develop in the right proportion. Professional foils are also sturdy, do not tear easily and are resistant to chemicals. This prevents frustration and mistakes during colouring.

Different types of films for hairdressers

Aluminium foils

The most widely used in the salon. Aluminium foils are strong, heat-resistant and ideal for highlights, balayage and intensive colour treatments. They are available in different thicknesses and lengths and hold heat extremely well.

Precut films

Pre-cut foils save time during colour treatments. They are ideal for hairdressers who want to work quickly and efficiently during highlights or toners, without having to tear foils to size in between.

Rolfolies

Roller films give you complete freedom to cut any length to size. Perfect for creative colour professionals or for treatments where hair is divided into uneven sections. Rolfolies are convenient when busy and versatile in use.

Transparent foils

Transparent foils give a view of the colouring process without having to open the foil. This is ideal for subtle colouring techniques such as babylights, face-framing and toner checks. The flexible structure ensures comfortable working.

Grip films

Grip films have a slight texture or grip coating, which helps the hair stay in place during colour application. This prevents shifting and makes multiple colouring techniques easier and more consistent.

Tips for working efficiently with foils

• Make sure each section is cut tightly for even product absorption
• Use different lengths for different parts of the hair
• Combine foils with a blonde board close to the roots to highlight the roots
• Keep foils within reach in different colours for creative colouring to keep an overview
• Always work on dry and neatly partitioned hair for maximum accuracy
