PSA: Stop overloading your foils with bleach at the scalp

I've pulled off 3 fallout-free bleach and tone jobs this week alone just by keeping my foils 1/4 inch off the roots and using a fine tooth comb for saturation, so why do I keep seeing people lay down gobs of lightener that bleed through and ruin the whole section?

Why do people insist on applying bleach like they're buttering a slice of bread? I swear some of these foils look like they're dripping with soup instead of lightener. A little precision goes a long way before you end up with chemical burns and a client who hates you.

Keep your saturation light and even by working the product through with the tail end of a rat tail comb before you close the foil. That stops the heavy pooling at the scalp and makes sure every hair is coated without it drowning. Also let your foils sit open for the first 10 minutes to dry out a little, that cuts down on bleed way more than you'd expect.
