English term or phrase: foil weave

'Foil weave' is the way to make highlights on one's hair. When some pieces of foil with a special coloring are put to parts of your hair.
This is quite common in Hair saloons, I'd like to know how do they normally call this in Italian.

Please make your explanationas in English. Thank you.

cartine (di stagnola)

Il mio parrucchiere (di Napoli) le chiama semplicemente cartine.
( << ...li facciamo con le cartine o con la cuffia?>>)
Io pero' userei questo termine solo con un registro informale.
