Figured out a way to get foils done in half the time

I was struggling with sectioning for years, taking like 45 minutes just to foil a full head. Then I tried using a tail comb with a curved handle and switching to a diagonal back section pattern. It cut my application time down to 22 minutes for a standard bleach and tone. Has anyone else had luck with a different sectioning pattern that saved them time?

I mean... I was gonna say just use bigger foils but your way sounds way more professional.

Ha, appreciate it @cameron_craig! Honestly bigger foils would probably save me from the occasional foil slip that ends up looking like a tinfoil hat situation. Your mileage may vary but I find the extra time helps me not screw it up again later.

My record is 38 minutes and that still felt like a victory dance around the salon chair.
