Using fine, placed foils, your colour is lifted with control for a clean blend, softer regrowth, and a finish that suits your natural base. ## What half head foil highlights include Half head foils concentrate lighter pieces through the top, parting area and around the face for a noticeable refresh without going fully highlighted. - A consultation on tone, placement, and how bright you want to go - Sectioned foil placement to lift selected areas with precision - Controlled lightening for dimension and contrast - Optional toning to refine warmth and create a cooler, more neutral, or more golden finish - A balanced result that grows out more softly than an all over colour ### When half head foils are the right choice This service is ideal if you want visible brightness while keeping some natural depth. - You want to refresh your highlights without committing to a full head - You prefer a lighter look around your face and along your parting - You want a more manageable, lower-maintenance lift between bigger colour appointments - You are adding dimension to one-tone hair without changing your overall base ### How the appointment works Your stylist will talk through your goals, assess your current colour and condition, then plan placement to suit your cut and how you wear your hair. Foils are applied in sections, processed to the right level of lift, then rinsed and refined. If needed, a toner is used to balance the final shade and shine so the highlights look intentional, not brassy. ### Aftercare and what happens next You will leave with guidance on keeping your colour clear and your hair feeling strong. Expect recommendations around shampoo choice, heat protection, and how often to use toning products if you go cooler. Many clients rebook for a top-up highlight or a toner refresh to keep the colour looking polished as it grows out.

Half head foils focus on the top and sides where you see the colour most, leaving more natural depth underneath. A full head covers more of the hair for an all over lighter result. Will half head foil highlights look natural? Yes, the placement can be tailored for subtle, blended brightness or stronger contrast. Keeping some of your natural base visible often makes the result look softer and more natural as it grows out. Do I need a toner with half head highlights? Not always, but toning is often recommended to refine warmth after lightening. It helps you achieve a cooler, neutral, or honey tone and keeps the finish looking intentional. How long will half head foil highlights last? Highlights grow out rather than fade, so the main change is regrowth at the roots. Many people refresh them every 8 to 12 weeks, depending on contrast, hair growth, and how bright the result is. How should I prepare for my highlight appointment? Arrive with your hair detangled and be ready to discuss your colour history, especially any home dye or box colour. If you have reference photos, bring a few that show the tone you like in natural light.
