Extra Wide vs Extra Long?

Extra Wide vs Extra Long?

Why Every Stylist Needs More Than Just the Standard Size

Every stylist has their go-to foil — and for most, it’s our classic 15 × 27 cm pop-ups and flats. They’re reliable, easy to use, and perfect for everyday work. But here’s the thing: when you only reach for one size, you’re limiting both your speed and your creativity behind the chair. That’s where our Extra Wide Pop-Ups (20 × 35 cm) and Extra Long Flats (15 × 40 cm) come in.

Why Size Matters in Foiling

Not all foiling jobs are created equal. Sometimes you need more coverage, sometimes you need more length, and sometimes you just need that extra bit of freedom to try something new. Having a range of foil sizes at your fingertips means you can:

  • Speed up your foiling process

  • Reduce waste (no doubling up when one foil could do the job)

  • Create cleaner, more seamless results

  • Bring more variety and flair to your services

The Case for Extra Wide Pop-Ups (20 × 35 cm)

Think of extra wide foils as your “power tool” for full heads. Their larger surface area means:

  • Faster coverage when working with larger sections

  • Perfect for balayage, teasylights, or lived-in blondes

  • Less folding, more efficiency

A real time-saver when you’ve got a busy salon day



The Case for Extra Long Flats (15 × 40 cm)

Extra long foils are the unsung heroes of those big colour jobs. With their added length, they’re ideal for:

  • Long-haired clients where standard foils just don’t cut it

  • Ideal for sweeping longer strokes on clients with layers or extensions.

  • Gives you the length and strength to hold heavier colour applications without slipping.

Keeping everything neat and controlled for flawless finishes


Why Stylists Love Expanding Their Range

Hairdressers tell us all the time: once you start working with extra sizes, you’ll never look back. They give you flexibility, speed, and an edge that keeps your work fresh and efficient.

So whether you’re reaching for Extra Wide Pop-Ups to smash through a full head or Extra Long Flats to nail those mermaid-length blondes, think of them as the perfect partners to your everyday 15 × 27 cm classics.

At the end of the day, all foil sizes serve their purpose — but expanding your toolkit opens up new ways to work smarter, not harder. Ready to see why stylists are adding these sizes to their kit? Try our Extra Wide Pop-Ups or Extra Long Flats and experience the difference.
