Cooboard Cooboard XL Black highlighting paddle — 4×16in extra-large balayage board with teeth, lightweight & easy-clean

Cooboard XL Black is the original highlighting paddle with built-in teeth that holds sections steady for faster, neater balayage and foil work.

This extra-large Cooboard model expands the original design to 4 x 16 inches, giving colorists more surface area when working long or thick hair. Made by the creator of the Cooboard Hair Highlighting Kit, the paddle combines a firm base and tooth grip to separate sections cleanly, speed saturation, and double as a balayage surface on the underside. Lightweight and simple to rinse, it integrates smoothly into professional and at-home dye routines.

How does the Cooboard XL help me color closer to the root?

The raised teeth on the Cooboard XL secure the section, lifting hair slightly so you can apply product nearer to the root without smudging adjacent sections. The hard, flat surface keeps strands flat for even coverage and faster processing.

• Built-in teeth hold hair steady and separate sections precisely
• Firm base supports saturation without tugging or slipping
• Long XL length gives more working area for deep-root applications

Is the paddle easy to clean and reuse between clients?

Yes—Cooboard XL uses a smooth, non-porous material that wipes or rinses clean of color and bleach. Its simple shape avoids hard-to-reach crevices, so you can sanitize quickly between appointments.

• Non-porous surface resists staining and residue buildup
• Quick rinse or wipe with salon-safe disinfectant
• Durable material stands up to repeated use and products

Will the XL size work for long or thick hair?

The 4 x 16-inch dimension was created for longer or denser hair where the original board might fall short. The extended length covers wider foil placements and gives added stability for lengthy strands.

• Larger surface covers more hair per pass for efficiency
• Sturdy construction prevents flexing under heavier sections
• Ideal for full-head highlights, balayage strokes, and foil layouts

How does this integrate with my existing dye tools?

Cooboard XL complements standard bowls, brushes, and foils and works safely with bleaching and permanent color formulas. Its shape fits common foil widths and slots easily into a colorist’s workflow.

• Compatible with standard hair foils and application brushes
• Pairs well with bowls and dye kits for streamlined stations
• Double-sided use: teeth side for sectioning, underside for balayage blending

Who this is for: Cooboard XL Black is crafted for professional stylists, color technicians, and dedicated home users who need a robust, easy-to-clean paddle for highlights, root work, and balayage on longer hair. If you want a time-saving tool that secures sections, speeds application, and resists staining, this oversized Cooboard is a practical addition to your coloring kit.
