Foil low lights and roots on blonde hair?

I just got foil lowlights in my hair. I have been doing a pretty light blonde hair for years and I had roots showing when I went in (about a light to medium brown root). I got a light brown color to compliment the blonde, but you can still see a line where the roots were...it looks like the roots were not even touched at all.

My hairstylist looked a little surprised, but said this is just because it is my first time to get the foil lowlights and that it will look better when I get my next set next month.

Does anyone know if this is true? I like the color, but I don't want the roots to be like this all the time...

Foil low lights and roots on blonde hair?

I don't know if your previous color was all over, but that is a line that is hard to break. The low and high-lights are the beginning with a few tricks. They should be back-to-back and done in a heavy randon pattern. It will break-up with each visit, but I would call her and ask for another appt., that's hard to do, I know, you might open yourself to paying just a bit for this a bit more of a color correction, she should meet you for this should have been discussed. This will eventually help with such defined regrowth. Your stylist did the right thing, just not heavy enough. Give her a chance, this could have gone many ways. You can create a relationship if she responds well. Good luck to you!

Foil low lights and roots on blonde hair?

That is such BS! Your stylist obviously didn't do a good enough job and then tried to act like they knew what they were doing by telling you that! If you go to a good hairdresser that knows what they are doing you will definitely walk out of there with no roots showing no matter what color or style you get. And also why do you need to get another set "next month"? You shouldn't need to get your hair done any more often that 6 to 8 weeks, that's how long a professional salon recommends before you would actually "lose your style" and need it redone.

Foil low lights and roots on blonde hair?

When they put in the low lights she should have alternated with hi-lights, I have gotten low/high lights for about 12 years and I get foils done. The first time you get low lights they should still go really heavy on the blonde so that you don't get the heavy roots look, you should be able to go back and have the stylist add more blonde highlights and gradually add in more low lights each time you go. Eventually I think you will like the look, but it will be a change if you were a really light blond.

I think the overall look is much more natural looking and you will find that you dont have to get your roots done as often, now I have my hair highlighted only with occasional low lights but my dark has fully grown out so you don't need as many. I can usually go about 8-12 weeks between highlights.
