Why the transparent cap

The transparent silicone lets you read the scalp and partings as you work, so highlights stay even and placed where you want. The two hole sizes control density: finer strands through the small holes for a soft, blended result, denser strands through the large holes for bolder pieces. The elongated nape reaches the low strands at the neckline a shorter cap leaves out.

Key features

2,300 pre-punched holes in two sizes - draw finer strands for subtle blends or denser strands for bolder highlights, no piercing needed
Elongated nape with a reinforced vertical strap - reaches the strands at the neckline and holds shape while you pull
Height-adjustable silicone fit - anatomical straps stretch to different head shapes and sizes
Transparent finish - keeps the scalp and partings visible as you place each highlight
Wicking needle included - the hook to pull strands through the holes

What to expect

In the hand the cap is soft and stretchy, and pulls down over the hairline to sit close to the head. Push the needle through a hole, catch a strand and draw it out; repeat hole by hole. With two hole sizes you can mix thin and thicker pieces on the same head.

Who it is for

Colourists placing cap highlights, lowlights or a root-shadow effect without foils
Anyone who wants speckled, all-over highlights with control over density
Mobile and home-salon work, where foils are slower to set up
Fine through to thick hair, straight or curly

Who it is not for

Freehand balayage or ombre, where you need to see and paint the full length
Very long hair, which takes patience to draw through hole by hole
Anyone after a thermal or processing cap - this is a highlighting cap, not a heat cap

Professional tip

Plan your pattern and work in a steady order around the head, so density stays even from front to nape. Draw each strand through in one smooth pull rather than short tugs, and it lies flat while you apply your lightener.

How to use

Fit the cap over dry hair, lining the elongated nape up at the neckline.
Pull strands through the holes with the included needle - more holes for denser highlights, fewer for a subtle effect.
Mix the two hole sizes to vary how thick each piece is.
Apply your lightener or colour only to the strands you have pulled out.
Rinse the strands once processing is complete, then ease the cap off.

Safety: The included needle is sharp - handle and store it with care, and keep the cap and needle away from children. For external use with hair-colour products only; follow the safety guidance that comes with your lightener or colour.

Using it in your colour work

After colouring, rinse the cap and needle under warm water and let them dry before storing flat. To section and hold the hair while you work, reach for the XanitaliaPro highlighting accessories.

Frequently asked questions

How do you use the ILUMINA cap to make highlights?

Fit the cap over dry hair, then use the included needle to pull strands through the pre-punched holes. Apply your lightener or colour only to the strands you draw out, process, then rinse and remove the cap. Use more holes for denser highlights and fewer for a subtle result.

What are the two hole sizes for?

The two sizes let you control how thick each highlight is. Pull finer strands through the smaller holes for soft, blended highlights, and denser strands through the larger holes for bolder, chunkier pieces. You can mix both on the same head.

Is the needle included?

Yes. Each cap comes with one wicking needle - the hook you use to draw strands through the holes - included free.

Will the colour reach the hair under the cap?

The cap is designed to keep your lightener or colour on the strands you pull through the holes, while the hair left under the silicone stays covered. Fit the cap snugly and apply the product only to the pulled-out strands.

Does it fit long, thick or curly hair?

The silicone is flexible and height-adjustable, with anatomical straps that stretch to different head shapes, and it is made for voluminous, short, long, curly or straight hair. Very long hair simply takes a little more patience to draw through.
