Unpopular opinion: I stopped layering highlights and got better results

For about 5 years I did the whole babylight stacking technique on every client. It worked fine but took forever and looked too busy sometimes. Two summers ago a client named Carla told me her hair looked like stripes even though I blended for an hour. I went back to single-process foil work with strategic placement instead. Anyone else find that simpler methods actually look more natural on certain hair types?

@elliot_gibson27 right there with you, simple and clean beats busy and tired every time.

Did you find it hard giving up those extra layers or did it come natural to you?

Yep. Dropped the stacking and my work looks way cleaner now.
