Half Head Highlights

What Half Head Highlights deliver

Half Head Highlights focus lightness where it makes the biggest difference in everyday wear. Your colourist uses placement and tone to keep the result refined, not stripy.

• Lightness through the crown, parting and top layers for a brighter overall look
• Face-framing highlights to lift the hairline and soften the complexion
• Controlled contrast that keeps depth through the underneath sections
• Foil placement designed to blend regrowth and avoid harsh lines at the parting
• Toning or glossing to refine warmth, coolness or beige balance and improve shine
• A finished blow-dry so you can see the blend, dimension and movement clearly

Half Head Highlights for subtle grey blending at the parting and hairline

If your priority is a softer transition around the face and parting, Half Head Highlights can help blur scattered greys without looking like a solid block of colour. It is especially useful when you want brightness and dimension, but still want your base colour to read naturally.

The Half Head Highlights appointment, step by step (from 120 minutes)

Your appointment typically starts with a consultation to agree the level of brightness, the tone and how visible you want the highlights to be when worn down or pinned back. The service then moves into sectioning and foiling through the top and sides, followed by careful processing and rinse. Toner is used where needed to perfect the shade, then the hair is conditioned and finished.

Keeping Half Head Highlights looking polished between visits

Toner and shine can fade before the lightness does, so a gloss refresh can be useful if your colour starts to look warmer or dull. Use heat protection, keep purple or blue shampoo to occasional use only if recommended, and book maintenance before the regrowth at the parting becomes too obvious. Most clients refresh Half Head Highlights roughly every 8 to 12 weeks, depending on contrast and how fast their hair grows.
