Full Head Tint

What to Expect

Your stylist will section your hair into manageable parts and apply colour methodically to ensure complete, even coverage. The dye processes for around 30 minutes (depending on the formula), then is rinsed, shampooshed with a colour-care product, conditioned and finished with a blow-dry. You'll leave with glossy, even colour and a fresh, uniform look.

• Hair is usually coloured on dry, unwashed hair—natural oils help protect your scalp
• Colour is applied in small, consistent partings so no areas are missed
• Processing time follows manufacturer guidelines for the best result
• Your stylist may use slightly different formulas for roots and lengths to account for porosity and ensure an even finish

Who It's For

Full head tints suit anyone wanting a solid, all-over colour change or refresh:

• Grey coverage: achieve seamless, natural-looking coverage from root to tip
• Tonal shifts: go a shade or two darker, or adjust warm/cool tones without the need for bleach
• Colour refresh: revive faded colour and add depth and shine
• Uniform colour: perfect if you prefer a polished, even look rather than multi-tonal highlights

If you're after dimension or contrast—think sun-kissed lengths or lighter pieces—ask about combining your tint with highlights or balayage instead.

Maintenance & Aftercare

Permanent tints typically last 5–8 weeks before regrowth or fading becomes noticeable. To keep your colour vibrant:

• Use sulphate-free, colour-safe shampoo and lukewarm water
• Wait a day or two before your first wash to let the colour fully set
• Condition regularly and use a deep treatment weekly to offset any dryness
• Protect hair from heat styling and UV exposure to preserve tone and shine

Regular root touch-ups or repeat full head tints will keep your colour fresh and even as regrowth appears.

Things to Know

• Dramatic lightening (going from dark to very light) usually requires pre-lightening with bleach, not a tint alone
• A patch test 48 hours before your appointment is standard practice to check for sensitivity
• Let your stylist know about any previous chemical services—home dyes, bleach, relaxers—as these affect formula choice and processing
• If you have existing artificial colour or high porosity, your stylist will adjust the approach to ensure an even result
• Full head tints give less dimension than highlights; if you want contrast, discuss blending techniques during your consultation
