Full Head Foils for Mid Length Hair is a comprehensive highlighting service that lightens hair throughout, from the front hairline to the nape and underneath, rather than just around the face. It's a good option for anyone on mid length hair wanting a bigger, more overall colour change with even, multi-dimensional brightness.
More information
What the Service Involves
Your appointment is built around a clear process to keep colour even and predictable:
- Consultation in natural light to discuss colour history, desired brightness and tone
- Hair sectioned into quadrants, usually starting at the nape and working up
- Fine strands woven or sliced and wrapped in foil with lightener or high-lift colour
- Foils left to process, monitored closely as different areas lift at different rates
- Toning to refine the finished shade and reduce any unwanted brassiness
- Shampoo, condition and blow-dry style so you can see the full result
Appointments typically run around an hour, though timing can vary slightly with hair density and colour goals.
Who It Suits
Full head foils work well if you want:
- A noticeably lighter, brighter overall look rather than subtle face-framing pieces
- Even coverage with less natural depth remaining underneath
- A style that enhances layers and movement in mid length hair
If you'd prefer a softer, lower-maintenance result with less visible regrowth, techniques like balayage may suit you better, our team at Jayne Elliott Hair Company in Lutterworth, including senior stylist Donna Brookes and stylist Kasie Pearce, can talk through which approach fits your hair and lifestyle.
Aftercare and Maintenance
Lightened hair needs a little extra care to stay healthy and vibrant:
- Wait around 24 hours before the first wash to let colour and toner settle
- Use a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo and regular deep conditioning treatments
- Apply heat protection and avoid excessive heat styling or brushing when wet
- Consider a bond-building or chelating treatment to support hair strength and colour clarity
Strong, uniform blonde results usually need retouching every 8 to 12 weeks, while softer, lower-contrast looks can often go longer between visits. Occasional toner refreshes between full appointments help keep colour looking fresh.

Always a great experience. The colour and cut are always spot on. I especially love the organic colours this salon uses — I’m allergic to conventional dyes and can only use organic, so it’s a perfect fit. The atmosphere in the salon is always warm, welcoming, and friendly.
