What is the difference between the cap and foil method for highlights?

Answer:
Cap highlights are old fashioned or for home use. In the salon cap highlights are mainly used for men's hair because it causes a lot of pain to people with long hair. Foil is used on long hair. It keeps in the heat and the hair processes (changes) quicker.
