Joanna suggested doing foilyage to a few defined pieces throughout just enough of her hair “to break up her dark natural color.” Confused as to what foilyage is? Joanna explained that it is “a similar technique to balayage where a lightener is applied in a sweeping technique.” Joanna revealed she “didn’t want to over-highlight because we wanted her to read rich brunette, so they were strategically placed.” After her highlights were done processing, Joanna toned her hair with a warm chestnut gloss, “that gave her a uniform rich tone and reflected a youthful shine.”
