This foil is part of the extensive range of Accessories for Hair Colouring and stands out for its ease of use. Here are the features you will notice daily:

• Thickness of 15 micron: sturdy enough not to crease
• Width of 12 cm: fits most strands and techniques
• Easy to fold around strands
• Retains heat for an even colour result
• Stays in place during colour processing
• Available as 100 metre roll (15µ) or 250 metre roll (14µ)
• Silver colour, standard size without extra decoration

1. Tear off a strip of the desired length, depending on the strand length.
2. Lay the strip flat and apply your hair dye or bleach powder to the strand.
3. Fold the foil closed around the strand, starting with the bottom, then the sides.
4. Repeat for each strand you want to colour or bleach.
5. Leave the colour to develop for the indicated time, then carefully remove the foil.

Want even more metres for less money per strip? The Sibel High-Light Aluminium Foil 3x 12µ x 15cm x 100m is a great addition if you regularly do larger colourings and prefer to have stock at hand.

The foil fully isolates each strand from the rest of the hair. This prevents colours from mixing and ensures the dye works exactly where you want it. The 15 micron thickness helps the foil retain heat around the strand. That makes the colour process more predictable: the colour penetrates evenly and you have less chance of blotches or uneven results.

The Nebur High-Light Aluminiumfolie (15µ) is profesSisional aluminium foil for hair colouring that you can also use well at home, as long as you have scissors or a tearing edge handy. A reliable choice for anyone who wants to do highlights without hassle.

The 15µ foil is more flexible and easier to fold. The 20µ foil is sturdier and less likely to tear with thick or heavy strands.

In practice, 15 micron is the most commonly used thickness for highlights. It folds easily around the strand and gives you enough control. Do you have very thick or long hair and work with large strands? Then the Nebur High-Light Aluminium Foil (20µ) might be a better choice. That’s the practical difference between 15µ and 20µ hairdresser’s foil: ease of use versus sturdiness.

Technically you can, but it is much less convenient. Regular household foil is thinner, slips more easily and is harder to fold without tearing.

Hairdresser’s foil like the Nebur High-Light Aluminiumfolie (15µ) is wider, stronger and specially made to keep strands tightly sealed. Regular foil doesn’t have a fixed width either, so strips are uneven. For a good result, it’s worth choosing profesSisional foil.

The foil stays firmly in place if you fold it tightly around the strand. It doesn’t slip easily.

The 12 cm width helps too: you have enough foil on the sides to fold tightly. Want even more grip? Pre-cut sheets with an anti-slip texture are an alternative. The Sibel High-Light Aluminium Foil Sheets Gold 14µ, 12 x 27 cm, 300 pcs are a good example.

The Nebur High-Light Aluminiumfolie (15µ) is a 100-metre roll. This means you decide the strip length yourself, which is handy if you work with various strand lengths. You cut exactly what you need, no more, no less.

Pre-cut sheets like the Sibel version are quicker to use: you take a sheet and start straight away. This saves time if you do many highlights in a row. But you are limited to one fixed length per sheet.

For those who colour regularly and in different ways, the Nebur roll is the best hairdresser’s foil for highlights. If you prefer speed over flexibility, sheets are handier. You can find both options in the Accessories for Hair Colouring range.
