Achieve high-contrast blonding in just four steps. Whether you have a blonde client looking to go blonder, or a client with a darker base who is looking to lighten up their style, 4D Foilayage is a strategic technique you’re going to love.
Created by Matrix Brand Ambassador and Celebrity Stylist George Papanikolas (@georgepapanikolas), 4D Foilayage is designed to help you maximize time and minimize hair damage during lightening services on any starting level.
MAXIMIZE TIME: 4 STEPS TO DIMENSIONAL BLONDING
George broke down his technique into four, simple steps and incorporated two time-saving secrets: foils and pre-bonded formulas.
1. Grab your Light Master Pre-Bonded Lightener and choose your developer volume based on your client’s starting level.
2. Section the hair strategically for maximum impact.
3. Backcomb each section, place it on a piece of foil, apply the lightener in a V-shaped pattern.
4. Apply your SoColor Sync Pre-Bonded Toner formulas for ultra-conditioned, shiny results.
By combining balayage and foils, you’ll be able to speed up the lightening process and achieve greater lift in less time, especially on clients with darker hair. “Pre-Bonded” means bonder is already pre-mixed in each lightener and toner formula, saving you time and money.

MINIMIZE DAMAGE WITH THE MATRIX PRE-BONDED LIGHTENING PORTFOLIO
The key to 4D Foilayage success, says George, is using Matrix Light Master Pre-Bonded Lightener. “It lets me push the limits of my artistry without compromising the integrity of the hair,” he says. To tone, George uses ultra-conditioning SoColor Sync Pre-Bonded Acidic and Alkaline Toners. “They give me the versatility of saturated or sheer color for an all-around perfect protected finish.”
George rounds out his service with the third member of the Matrix Pre-Bonded Lightening Portfolio—the Unbreak My Blonde haircare system. These three formulas—Shampoo, Conditioner and Leave-In Treatment—reinforce weakened bonds and leave hair shiny and soft.
