Expect luminous lift, a seamless blend and soft regrowth for a polished look that lasts. Toning is customised to your ideal shade for clean, modern blonde or multi-tonal lightness. ## What's Included A focused, high-density application designed for bright, even results. - Personal consultation to set goals, assess hair history and plan maintenance. - Full head foiling with tight spacing for maximum brightness and minimal striping. - Detailed hairline and parting work for a clean finish when hair is worn up or back. - Controlled processing and gentle rinse to respect hair condition. - Toner or gloss to refine shade and neutralise brassiness. - Conditioning to restore pH and enhance shine. - Aftercare guidance and a suggested rebooking window. ### Who It's For Ideal if you want overall brightness from roots to ends rather than a partial refresh. Great for blondes seeking a clean update, brunettes moving lighter in a measured way, or anyone who wants early greys diffused without a harsh regrowth line. If you prefer an ultra soft, lived-in grow out, ask about alternative techniques like balayage. Your colourist will advise on the best route for your hair and diary. ### Duration & Appointment Timing Allow around 75 to 120 minutes, depending on hair length, density and the level of lift required. Extra time may be needed if your hair is long, very thick or has previous colour build-up. If you plan to add a cut or blow-dry, book these with your colour so timings align. Arrive with clean, dry hair and avoid heavy oils or styling products on the day. ### Aftercare & Maintenance Use a gentle, colour-safe shampoo and conditioner, plus heat protection when styling. A weekly mask supports strength and shine. To keep tone fresh, use purple shampoo as advised and consider a gloss or toner top-up at 4 to 6 weeks. Rebook full highlights every 8 to 12 weeks, or choose a parting and hairline refresh between full appointments. Limit heat, rinse after swimming and consider a chelating treatment if you have hard water. These steps keep your blonde clear and reflective.

It describes high-density foiling with very small sections and tight spacing. This creates bright, even lift with minimal gaps for a clean, consistent result from root to tip. Is this suitable for dark or thick hair? Yes, but darker or very dense hair may need more time or a staged plan to reach lighter shades safely. Your colourist will set realistic goals and adjust placement and processing to protect your hair. Will this damage my hair? Lightening alters the hair, but controlled application, careful timing and professional aftercare keep it feeling healthy. We tailor the formula and recommend at-home care to maintain strength and shine. How often will I need maintenance? Most clients refresh the full head every 8 to 12 weeks. A toner gloss and a quick hairline or parting highlight at 4 to 6 weeks can keep everything bright between full appointments. Can this blend grey hair? Highlights do not cover grey, but they can diffuse and soften it so regrowth is less obvious. If you want full coverage, your colourist may suggest combining highlights with a root tint.
