Full head foil highlights brighten your hair with fine, controlled sections of lightness placed through the whole head. It is ideal if you want noticeable dimension, a cleaner blonde, or a softer blend through darker hair, with the result tailored to your base colour and how you like to wear your hair.

More information

What full head foil highlights cover

A full head foil service is designed for all-over brightness and balanced dimension. Your colour is tailored to your hair’s starting level, previous colour, and your maintenance preferences.

  • Highlight placement through the crown, sides and back for an even result
  • Custom section size and spacing for subtle to bold dimension
  • Face-framing brightness if desired
  • Toning to refine warmth, add softness, or create a cooler finish
  • Blending for a smoother grow-out and more natural-looking movement

Who this service is best for

Full head foils suit you if you:

  • Want a brighter overall look rather than a few accents
  • Are moving towards blonde or adding noticeable contrast
  • Prefer a consistent result through the top and underneath
  • Want to soften regrowth and blend early greys
  • Need a refresh after highlights have grown out and lost definition

How the appointment works

We start with a consultation to agree the end result, placement, tone, and upkeep. Foils are applied in sections to lift selected strands while keeping control and protecting the rest of the hair. After processing, your hair is rinsed and toned to fine-tune the shade, then finished so you can see the colour in movement.

Aftercare and maintenance

To keep highlights looking fresh, use colour-safe shampoo and conditioner and limit high heat. A toning product can help manage unwanted warmth between visits, and regular trims help ends look brighter and healthier. For best longevity, plan a refresh when regrowth starts to affect the overall balance of light and dark.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do full head foils differ from half head highlights?
Full head foils add highlights through the top, sides, and underneath for an all-over result. A half head focuses more on the top and crown, so it looks lighter from above but less bright underneath.
Will full head foil highlights look natural?
They can look very natural when the section size, spacing, and tone are chosen to suit your base colour. You can also keep a little depth between foils for a softer, more lived-in finish.
Do I need toner with full head highlights?
Toner is often used after lightening to refine the shade and control warmth. It helps create a cleaner blonde, a softer beige, or a cooler finish depending on your goal.
Can you highlight hair that has been coloured before?
Often yes, but previously coloured hair can lift differently and may need a tailored plan. If you have box dye or very dark colour build-up, you may need a consultation to agree what is realistic in one visit.
How do I maintain my highlights between appointments?
Use colour-safe products and a heat protectant to reduce fading and dryness. If your blonde pulls warm, a suitable toning shampoo or conditioner can help, and occasional glossing keeps the colour looking polished.
