I'm getting high lights next weekand I'm deciding whether I should get it folied or capped. Which ones better and brings more color to your hair and which ones less damaging?? I need answers really soon because I'm either gettin gthe highlights done tommarow or next week.

If you get foil, i also advice you ask for "thick" highlights, they look really good.

But if your getting the professionally done, i'd go witht he foil.
kristen22 answered Saturday August 5 2006, 12:31 pm: You want foiled! I don't see why anyone would want capped! (Sometime the hairdresser will try to persuade you to be capped because it's quicker for them-Although a GOOD hairdresser won't try to persuade you into anything. When you have a good stylist FOILED is done ALOT quicker than capped) Foiled is so less damaging to your hair, unlike a cap where all your hair is ripped through the holes causeing even more split ends. Not to mention, that shit hurts!
Also, Foiled brings more highlights in better because it's closed in allowing the bleach to really do it's job where as on a capped head with no cover on it, the stuff dryes out alot quicker.
