Cooboard Foilayage/Highlighting XL - 5" x 16" Board

The Cooboard XL Foil and Balayage Board gives colorists a longer, slimmer platform for precise sectioning on long-haired clients. Its signature built-in teeth hold teased sections firmly in place, so you can focus on saturation rather than managing slipping strands. At 4 inches wide by 16 inches long, this board is designed for finer, more controlled slices when working with foilyage, teased lights, and baby lights.

At a Glance

• Dual-purpose design: Teeth side for foil work, textured underside for balayage
• XL dimensions: 4 in x 16 in for extended length on long hair
• Built-in teeth: Holds teased sections in place during application
• Narrower width: Supports precise, controlled sectioning
• Lightweight construction: Easy to handle through extended color services

Features & Professional Benefits

The Cooboard XL is built around a simple but effective feature: a row of teeth along the top edge that grips teased hair and keeps it from shifting. For colorists working with foilyage or highlighted sections, this means the board does the holding while your hands stay free to paint and saturate. The teeth help you get closer to the root without tugging or clipping hair aside, supporting cleaner application on each section.

The 16-inch length is the defining advantage of this XL model. Long-haired clients require boards that can support the full length of a section without repositioning, and the extra inches here reduce the need to stop and readjust mid-application. The 4-inch width is intentionally narrower than wider boards in the Cooboard lineup, giving colorists finer control when sectioning and painting delicate or precise highlights.

The textured underside transforms the board into a balayage surface, making it a dual-purpose tool for colorists who offer both foil and freehand techniques. One board handles teased lights, baby lights, and balayage, which simplifies tool organization and keeps the workspace streamlined during color appointments.

Professional Applications

The Cooboard XL is suited to colorists and stylists who regularly perform highlighting and balayage services, particularly on clients with long hair. Its narrower width supports detailed sectioning for foilyage, teased lights, and baby lights, where precision matters more than coverage speed. Salons that offer a full range of color services will find the dual-sided design useful for switching between foil work and freehand painting without reaching for a separate board.
