Half Head of Highlights
Natural Sun-Kissed Dimension Throughout
Half head highlights offer the perfect balance between subtle enhancement and noticeable transformation. This service covers the top and sides of your hair, creating beautiful dimension and movement while maintaining a natural look. It's the ideal choice for those wanting significant brightening without the commitment of full head coverage.
Understanding Half Head Highlights
Half head highlighting involves applying foils to approximately 50-60% of your hair, focusing on the areas most visible when your hair is styled. This includes the top sections, crown, and sides, leaving the underneath layers in your natural color. The result is a beautifully blended, multi-dimensional look that appears as if you've spent the summer in the sun.

- More natural grow-out than full highlights
- Perfect balance of coverage and maintenance

The Half Head Advantage
Unlike full highlights, half head application allows for a more natural grow-out process. The darker underneath sections help blend regrowth, meaning you can extend time between appointments while still looking polished. This technique also preserves more of your natural hair, reducing overall chemical exposure while achieving stunning results.
"Half head highlights are my go-to recommendation for clients wanting maximum impact with manageable maintenance. It's the sweet spot between transformation and natural beauty."
