We place fine, consistent foils throughout the head to lift and brighten, then refine the tone so the result feels polished and wearable. Every appointment starts with a clear consultation, so your colour suits your hair condition, your complexion, and how much upkeep you want between visits. ## What full head highlights can do for your hair Full head highlights give an all over lift, with soft brightness and movement through the lengths. They are a great option if you want to feel lighter overall, refresh dull colour, or blend natural regrowth in a flattering way. You can expect: - Highlight placement across the full head for an even, brighter result - A consultation to agree the shade, depth, and how blended you want the finish - Condition first lightening, with careful sectioning and timing - Refining the result with a gloss or toner where needed, this is usually booked as an add on - A finish that is designed to grow out softly and suit everyday styling ### When full head highlights are the right choice This service tends to suit you if you want a more noticeable change than a partial highlight, or if you like your colour to look bright right through the back and underneath. It is also ideal if: - Your previous highlights feel too warm, too dull, or uneven - You are transitioning from darker colour and want a gradual, natural lift - You want a fresh, lighter feel without committing to an all over permanent colour ### What happens at your appointment We start by talking through your hair history, your goal shade, and how you like to wear your hair day to day. The highlights are then placed in foils throughout the head, processed carefully, then rinsed and treated. If your hair needs it, we will recommend a toner or gloss to soften warmth, add shine, or create a cleaner blonde. For new colour clients, or if it has been a while since your last colour, we may ask you to pop in for a quick patch test beforehand. ### Aftercare and maintenance You will leave with straightforward advice on keeping your colour bright and your hair feeling healthy. Most clients do best with the right at home care, occasional treatments, and a maintenance plan that matches their diary. To keep highlights looking their best, we will talk you through: - How often to refresh your highlights - When a toner top up might be useful - Simple ways to protect condition between appointments [Book Online](https://book.frively.com/salons/bed4aad0-2b0d-4ce5-9611-cefb69c616bc/book) ## Client Reviews 5.0 Based on 1 review - g gemma matthews > Great hair cut and colour today with Freya. Lovely friendly service. Will definitely return ## Frequently Asked Questions What is the difference between full head and half head highlights? A full head includes foils throughout the whole head, including the back and underneath, so the overall look is lighter. A half head focuses on the top and sides for a softer change and lower maintenance. Do I need a patch test for full head highlights? A patch test is sometimes needed for colour services, especially if you are new to colour or have not had colour for a while. We will let you know what is required when you book, it is quick and reassuring. Will full head highlights damage my hair? Lightening can be drying, but careful application and the right processing time make a big difference. We prioritise condition and will tailor the plan, or suggest a more gradual approach, if your hair needs it. Do I need a toner after highlights? Not always, but a toner is often the step that makes highlights look polished and wearable. It can help refine warmth, add shine, and create a more balanced blonde, brunette, or beige finish. How often will I need to have my highlights redone? It depends on how fast your hair grows and how blended you like the root area to be. Many clients refresh full head highlights every 8 to 14 weeks, and we can advise what will suit your look and routine.
