This service at 21 RUSSELL in Crawley includes all processing, toning, and a complete finish with styling, taking around four hours. If you're looking for very dense, packed foiling, please book the packed full head service instead. ## What Full Head Foils Involve Full head foils cover the **entire head**, not just the top layers, making them ideal when you want noticeable, all-over lightness or colour change: - Your stylist sections the hair systematically—back, sides, and top—and weaves or slices fine strands into foils throughout - **Standard density** foils leave a natural balance between covered and uncovered sections for dimension, unlike packed foils which use back-to-back placement - After application, the colour processes, then foils are removed, hair is rinsed, and a **toner or gloss** is applied to refine the shade and neutralise brassiness - The service finishes with a **blow-dry and style** so you leave with polished, camera-ready hair Because this technique treats the whole head, it creates a more uniform, high-impact result than partial highlights or balayage. ## Who This Service Suits Full head foils are best for clients wanting **significant colour transformation**: - You're looking to go several levels lighter or achieve strong, even coverage across all your hair - You want your colour change to be visible from every angle, not just on surface layers - You prefer a **more uniform look** rather than soft, sun-kissed dimension - Your hair is in good condition—lightening alters the hair structure, so healthy hair responds best If your hair is very thick, long, or coarse, expect the service to take longer and use more product. Clients with compromised or over-processed hair may need a more conservative approach or multiple sessions to reach very light shades safely. ## Aftercare & Maintenance Maintaining vibrant, healthy colour after full head foils requires consistent care: - Use **sulfate-free, colour-safe shampoo and conditioner** to reduce fading and dryness - Wash less frequently with cooler water, and apply **deep conditioning masks** weekly to counteract any dryness from lightening - Limit heat styling or always use a heat protectant - Return to the salon roughly **every six weeks** for root touch-ups and toner refreshers—full head foils show regrowth more noticeably than subtle highlighting Proper aftercare helps preserve your colour and keeps your hair in excellent condition between visits. ## Standard vs Packed Foils 21 RUSSELL offers both standard and packed full head foils—understanding the difference helps you book the right service: - **Standard full head** (this service) uses typical foil density with natural hair left between sections for a balanced, noticeable result - **Packed full head** uses very fine sections and back-to-back foiling, leaving almost no hair untouched, for maximum lightness and intensity - Packed foils require significantly more time, product, and work, so they're booked separately If you want extremely dense highlights or near-solid lightness, please book the packed service. For most clients seeking comprehensive coverage with good dimension, standard full head foils deliver excellent results.

Will definitely be back and would highly recommend! Thank you! ## Frequently Asked Questions How long does a full head foils appointment take? The service takes around four hours in total, including application, processing, rinsing, toning, and a complete blow-dry and style finish. Very thick or long hair may take slightly longer. What's the difference between standard and packed full head foils? Standard full head uses typical foil density with natural hair left between sections for dimension. Packed foils place foils back-to-back with almost no hair between them for maximum lightness and intensity. If you want packed foils, please book that service separately. How often will I need to return for maintenance? Most clients return roughly every six weeks for root touch-ups and toner refreshes. Full head foils show regrowth more noticeably than subtle highlights, so regular maintenance keeps the colour looking fresh. Can I go very light blonde in one session? It depends on your starting colour and hair condition. Very dark or previously coloured hair may need multiple sessions to reach very light blonde while keeping hair healthy. Your stylist will assess and advise during consultation. Will full head foils damage my hair? Lightening alters the hair structure and can cause dryness if hair is already compromised. Healthy hair responds best. Your stylist will adjust formulas and timing to protect your hair, and proper aftercare with conditioning treatments is essential. What should I do to prepare for my appointment? Come with dry, relatively clean hair—avoid heavy styling products. If you have previous colour or chemical treatments, let your stylist know during consultation so they can plan the best approach for your hair. What aftercare products do I need? Use sulfate-free, colour-safe shampoo and conditioner, and apply a deep conditioning mask weekly. A heat protectant is essential if you use hot tools. These products help maintain colour vibrancy and hair health. Is this service suitable for all hair types? Full head foils work on most hair types, but very thick, long, or coarse hair will take longer and use more product. Compromised or over-processed hair may need a gentler approach or staged lightening for safety. What does the £80 price include? The price includes full head foil application, processing, toning, and a complete finish with blow-dry and styling. Pictures are also included. If you want very dense packed foils, please book the separate packed service. How is this different from partial foils or balayage? Full head foils cover the entire head including underneath layers for noticeable, uniform coverage. Partial foils focus only on top sections for subtle highlights, while balayage is a freehand painting technique for softer, blended dimension.
