The weekend rush taught me a new trick for balayage foil placement

Had a client in Nashville last Saturday with super thick hair, and my usual sectioning plan was turning into a total mess. My assistant suggested weaving thinner slices and placing foils diagonal instead of straight back, and it cut my processing time by 20 minutes. Anyone else found a weird little technique from a coworker that just clicked?

Diagonal foils changed everything for me too. Had a client with crazy thick hair last month and my old straight back method was a disaster. My coworker told me to try going diagonal and it made such a huge difference. The foils stayed put way better and I could actually see what I was doing. Processing time dropped by almost half an hour for me. Thinner slices plus the diagonal angle keeps everything cleaner and the color blends way smoother.
