This partial highlighting technique creates natural-looking dimension with less upkeep than full-head colour, and your appointment includes foiling, processing, toning to refine your shade, and a professional finish with photos taken to showcase your new look. ## What to Expect During Your Appointment Your stylist will section your hair and carefully select strands through the **front, crown, and top areas** for highlighting. Lightener is applied in foils, then processed to lift your natural colour before rinsing and toning to eliminate any unwanted warmth or brassiness. The service concludes with a blow-dry or styling finish, and photos are taken so you can see your transformation. Total appointment time is **3 to 3.5 hours**, allowing for full consultation, processing, and finishing. ## Who This Service Suits Half head foils are ideal if you want: - **Face-framing brightness** without committing to full-head coverage - Natural dimension and movement with some base colour showing through - Lower maintenance than a full head — typically **8–12 weeks** between visits - A lift around your hairline and parting where lightness is most visible This service does **not** cover the underneath or lower back sections. If you want even brightness all over or more comprehensive coverage, a full head of foils will be a better fit. ## Caring for Your Highlights at Home Highlighted hair benefits from a little extra care to keep it looking fresh and vibrant: - Use **colour-safe, moisturising shampoo and conditioner** to prevent fading and dryness - Apply a **weekly conditioning mask** or treatment to restore moisture and maintain softness - Protect from heat with a spray or serum before blow-drying or styling - Rinse with cooler water to seal the cuticle and lock in colour - Minimize washing frequency where possible to extend the life of your highlights and tone Your stylist can recommend specific products suited to your hair type and the finish you want to maintain between visits.

Half head foils cover the front hairline, all of the crown, and the top section of your head. The underneath and lower back hairline are not touched. If you'd like those areas included, please book a full head of foils instead. How long does the appointment take? Your half head foils appointment takes between 3 and 3.5 hours. This includes consultation, foiling, processing time, rinsing, toning if needed, and a professional finish with photos. How much do half head foils cost at 21 RUSSELL? Half head foils are priced at £50, including the highlighting service, toning, finish, and photos of your completed look. How often will I need to come back for maintenance? Most clients return every 8–12 weeks depending on how quickly their hair grows and how much regrowth they're comfortable with. Partial highlights typically need less frequent maintenance than a full head. Will my highlights look natural or bold? The final look depends on the number of foils placed, how fine or chunky the sections are, and the toner used. Your stylist will discuss the placement and tone with you during consultation to achieve the brightness and blend you want. Is toning included in the service? Yes, toning is included if needed to refine your highlights and eliminate any unwanted warm or brassy tones after lightening. Can I have half head foils if my hair is already coloured or damaged? Your stylist will assess your hair condition during consultation. If your hair is already compromised or heavily processed, they may recommend a treatment plan or adjust the service to protect your hair's integrity. What's the difference between half head and full head foils? Half head foils only highlight the front, crown, and top sections, leaving the underneath and back untouched. Full head foils cover the entire head for more even, all-over brightness and require more frequent maintenance. What aftercare products should I use for highlighted hair? Use a colour-safe, moisturising shampoo and conditioner, apply a weekly conditioning mask, and protect your hair from heat with a spray or serum. Your stylist can recommend specific products suited to your hair type. Are photos really included in the appointment? Yes, photos are taken at the end of your appointment so you can see and share your finished look. It's a complimentary part of the service at 21 RUSSELL.
