Half head foils on mid length hair is a partial highlighting service that lightens or colours strands across the top, crown, hairline and sides, while the underneath is left more natural. It suits anyone wanting sun-kissed brightness and dimension without committing to the full coverage and upkeep of a full head of foils.
More information
What Happens During the Appointment
Your stylist will start with a short consultation to talk through placement, tone and how much brightness you want.
- Hair is sectioned, usually from ear to ear and across the crown
- Fine weaves or slices are lifted and painted with lightener or colour, then wrapped in foil
- Foils are left to process, with checks along the way to control the lift
- Hair is rinsed, and toner can be added afterwards to fine-tune the finished shade
At Jayne Elliott Hair Company, this service is scheduled as a 45 minute appointment. If you'd like toner, a cut or a blow-dry added on, it's worth mentioning this when booking so the appointment can be timed accordingly.
Coverage and What to Expect
Half head foils focus brightness where it's most visible, rather than lightening the whole head.
- Coverage typically sits across the top, crown, sides and hairline
- The underneath near the nape usually stays closer to your natural colour
- Results tend to look like natural, sun-kissed dimension rather than an all-over blonde
- Mid length cuts show this off well, since the top section is what's usually on show
If you wear your hair up often and want brightness underneath too, a full head of foils may suit you better, so it's worth discussing this with your stylist.
Maintenance and Aftercare
Half head foils are generally lower maintenance than a full head, but a little care at home goes a long way.
- Toner refreshes are often recommended roughly every 6 to 8 weeks to keep tone looking fresh
- Regrowth or repeat foils are commonly booked every 8 to 12 weeks, depending on how much contrast you like
- Use a sulphate-free, colour-safe shampoo and avoid very hot water
- Add a weekly hydrating or repairing mask, and use heat protectant before styling

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.
