What is highlighting through a hat
The process of lightening individual strands on the head in the world of hairdressing is called "highlighting". For this, the masters isolate individual curls from the hair and apply a bleaching composition to them.
To prevent the dye from getting on other strands, and the highlighting is not "smeared", the treated curls must be isolated. There are two methods for this:
· wrapping in foil strips. It requires little skills, professionalism and is used mainly in a beauty salon;
· selective lightening of hair through a cap. The method is outdated, but simple and does not require special skills. It is more popular for home coloring.
Who is it for
Highlighting on a hat will give zest, individuality to everyone, regardless of the shade of hair. It is worth noting that dyeing looks more effective on dark hair . It is not necessary to highlight the entire hair, you can do it selectively. For example, perform several bleached strands near the face or along the parting.
Highlighting with a cap is not performed on long hair, only on short or medium hair (in a beauty salon). If the procedure is performed at home, the haircut should be at least below the jawline. This will save you from painful sensations and torn hairs.

What to choose a hat or foil
To carry out the popular lightening of curls, use foil or a special hat. What are their differences and main advantages?
1. For professional hairdressers, it is better to choose foil: there is an opportunity to experiment with the image, it is permissible to use several colors for coloring at the same time.
2. Highlighting on a hat is easier to perform, the performer is required to be careful and follow the sequence of actions. Plus, the procedure takes less time, there is no need to separate each strand, paint over and wrap it in foil.
3. If you don't have enough time or money to go to the master, the option with a cap is for you! Painting is carried out at home, the cap can be reapplied, depending on its material, strength.
4. When pulling the strands through the hat, it is almost impossible to perfectly correct the overgrown roots, the necessary strands are not visible under the accessory.
5. Lightening with foil is not accompanied by painful sensations; in the case of a hat, discomfort is possible.
And finally, the most important criterion that influences the final choice of the method is the length of the hair. For owners of short haircuts, coloring on foil is difficult to carry out, in this case even some masters turn to the hat. But for strands above 15–20 cm, the choice is made in favor of foil.
