Weaving

Exactly. An all-over bleached blonde job will need to be touched up every 4 weeks. As I said, highlights only need retouching every 3 months or so.

Sorry I can't tell you what weaving is; I don't know what it is. I achieved a nice blonde look with two shades of highlights. My natural colour is auburn. We left some strands of my natural colour as lowlights and then did a lot of highlights with two shades of blonde (hi-lift colour; not bleach). It looked like a natural warm blonde with subtle variations -- not a typical highlighted look -- no obvious demarcations. I loved it. (I then ruined it by using bleach highlights... long, sad story).

Anyhow, the colour I loved was achieved with foils. My sister picked up randomly spaced strands by weaving the end of a rat-tail comb in and out near my scalp (maybe that's what your stylist means by "weaving"). Anyhow, if it's done properly, it's a really nice effect. My sister has had her hair done this way for years (she has naturally auburn hair too) and the nice thing about it is it only needs to be re-done every three months or so. A bleached blonde job would need to be touched up every 4 weeks.

Take a look at the photo of Julia Roberts in this link. That's the way the variations in colour look when the method I described is used. (Her colour is my goal, once I get my present disaster fixed).

Good luck. What I'm describing may not be weaving. Maybe someone else will know for sure.
