Highlights FAQ
Full or partial highlights — which do I need?
Partial highlights brighten the top and face area; full highlights cover the whole head for maximum brightness.
Will highlights damage my hair?
Lightening always affects hair, so we use bond-protecting care and tone to minimise dryness.
Can I add toner to my highlights?
Yes, toning is included where needed to refine the shade.
