A full highlight involves highlighting hair in every section of your head. This could be slightly lightening all of your hair or for something more dramatic, such as going from brunette to blonde.
When you book in for a full head of highlights, your colorist will apply foils all over your hair (including the underneath layers), for maximum lightening results. So, if you’re looking to go significantly lighter, full highlights will help get you there. While partial highlights are great for a subtle lightening effect, if you’re hoping for a more dramatic color transformation such as going from brunette to blonde, we’d recommend full highlights.
