Old stylist told me I was over-saturating foils... she was right

She said I was using way too much lightener and it was bleeding through the foil edges. After I cut back 30%, my highlights came out cleaner and I saved product. Has anyone else had to unlearn a habit like that?

Man, I did the exact same thing when I started out. Overpacking the foil thinking more product equals better results, but it just turns into a muddy mess. Cutting back really forces you to be more precise with your application, and the clean up is way faster too. It's one of those habits that feels wrong until you see the finished product and realize you've been wasting money the whole time. Good on you for catching it early, a lot of people never adjust and just keep blaming their foils or the brand.

You realize you've been wasting money the whole time" really hits home, @victor_perry90. But is wasting a few extra bucks on foil packs that serious, though? I mean, sure, it's nice to dial it in, but it's not like you're burning cash on bad product or anything, just being a little generous with it.
