Three Quarter Head Highlights add brightness where it counts: around your face, crown and top layers, while keeping maintenance low. Expect soft, seamless dimension, healthy-looking shine and a grow-out that stays polished. Ideal if you like a lighter look without committing to a full head.

More information

What's Included

A tailored service designed for natural-looking lift and blend.

  • Personal consultation to agree shade, placement and maintenance goals.
  • Precision foiling through the crown, sides and face frame, leaving the lower back more natural.
  • Choice of placement techniques: fine babylights, classic weaves or bolder ribbons, shaped to your cut.
  • Face-framing brightness to lift your complexion.
  • Lightener strength calibrated to your starting shade and hair condition.
  • Toner or gloss to refine tone and boost shine.
  • Styled finish so you leave polished.

Who It's For

If you want visible lightness through the top and around your face without the commitment of a full head, this is for you. It keeps the most seen areas bright while leaving the underneath softer for easier upkeep.

It is also a smart refresh for those maintaining previous highlights or balayage, and for anyone looking to soften the look of early greys with a natural blend.

Duration & Appointment Timing

Allow around 2 to 2.5 hours, depending on hair length and thickness. Add extra time if you are booking a haircut alongside your colour.

Most clients maintain their highlights every 8 to 12 weeks. Booking a gloss between appointments can keep your tone fresh and shiny.

Aftercare & Maintenance

Use colour-safe, sulphate-free shampoo, a weekly hydrating mask and heat protection before styling. A purple or blue-toning cleanser can be used occasionally to control warmth, as advised for your shade.

Book a toner or gloss at 4 to 6 weeks to keep the finish bright, then refresh highlights at 8 to 12 weeks. Gentle brushing, reduced heat and regular trims will help your colour look its best for longer.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in a three quarter head highlight?
Foils are placed through the crown, top back and both sides, plus a face frame. The lower back section is left more natural so brightness shows where you see it most. A toner and styled finish complete the look.
How is this different from a half head or full head?
Half head focuses on the top and sides only. Three quarter head reaches further back for more coverage and softer regrowth. Full head includes the entire back underneath for maximum lightness and minimal natural root area.
Will it blend or cover greys?
Highlights soften the contrast of greys by breaking them up with lighter strands. For stronger coverage, lowlights or a tint between foils can be added. Your stylist will recommend the right mix for your hair and maintenance goals.
How long does the appointment take?
Allow around 2 to 2.5 hours, depending on hair length and thickness. Extra time may be needed if you add a haircut or a strengthening treatment. Timings will be confirmed when you book.
How often should I maintain the colour?
Most clients refresh highlights every 8 to 12 weeks. A toner or gloss at 4 to 6 weeks keeps the tone fresh and shiny. Using the right home care helps the result last.
