RIGHT | LEFT HAND WEAVE & LOCK

Explain how a weave is performed. Choose either the right hand or left handed method.

Subdivide a section of hair appropriate to its density. Holding the needle comb in the right hand ‘Slice

off’ a fine layer of hair from the subdivided section, holding the remainder of the hair in the left hand.

Secure the section with the left hand, and holding the needle comb in the right hand, start to weave

through the subdivided section. Note that in this instance this section is approximately 0.25cm in

thickness. Keeping the needle comb close to the root gives greater control in determining how thick or

fine the highlight will be. To ensure an even result, the hair that is left in-between each weave is the

same thickness as the hair taken. The weave is always taken off the top of the subdivided section, as this

ensures the foil can be placed closer tom the root, helping to achieve a more naturally highlighted look.

Lifting the weaved section from the scalp using the left hand will assist in positioning the foil directly on to

the skin. After the foil has been positioned as close to the root as possible, hold the weaved sectioned in

the right hand while securing the foil with the thumb and the index finger of the left hand.
