I have a question on highlighting short hair?

My hair stylist says that she cannot highlight my hair using the "foil method" because it is too short on the sides. She says that she has to use the "cap" for short hair. (my hair is about 1 1/2 in. on the sides) I always thought that it was easier to get to the roots using foil rather than the cap. Is she right............or does she just not like using the foil??? Any hair dressers out there that can answer this? Thank you!

Short hair 1 1/2 inches is difficult but not impossible to foil.

A cap effect would definitely look polka dotted 9 times out of 10.

Maybe a hand painted look would work, but ask your colorist what she's most comfortable with... hope that helps

I use to get my hair highlighted when I had short hair...my hairdresser used the cap on me. Listen to them, they know what they are talking about. I got a load of compliments on my hair %26amp; I loved it myself. Just get it done in the cap.

If the hair is short, you will have spots instead of charming streaks, so I would wait for hair to grow a little bit.

If she uses foil on such short hair, you are going to have polka dots. Either ask her to use foil, which will be hard, but not impossible OR ask her to not highlight the short hairs. As long as you aren't doing a severe highlight, it should still look good.
