Refresh your colour with precision. At Faking It, our Half Head Foils and Roots service brightens the top and sides while covering or blending regrowth. We map foil placement to lift and add dimension, then match your root shade for a seamless finish. Expect shine, balanced tone and a style that grows out softly.

More information

What's Included

Expect precise colour work designed around your hair and goals.

  • Personalised consultation and colour mapping.
  • Half head foils through top, crown and sides.
  • Root tint or root melt to blend regrowth.
  • Toner or gloss to refine tone and add shine.
  • Bonding care to protect hair during lightening.
  • Cleanse, condition and a professional blow-dry finish.

Who It's For

Ideal if you want brightness and dimension without a full head of foils. Great for maintaining existing highlights, softening strong regrowth or covering greys. Suitable for most hair types and lengths. Not for dramatic all-over lightening or a major colour change in one visit.

Duration & Appointment Timing

Allow around 150 minutes from consultation to finish. Extra time may be needed for long or thick hair. Please arrive 5 minutes early. Book a haircut as an add-on if required.

Aftercare & Maintenance

  • Use sulphate-free shampoo and conditioner for coloured hair.
  • Keep water lukewarm and limit washing to preserve tone.
  • Use purple shampoo weekly if you are blonde.
  • Always apply heat protectant when styling.
  • Deep-condition once a week to maintain strength and shine.
  • Refresh toner every 6–8 weeks. Maintain foils every 8–12 weeks. Top up roots every 4–6 weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does half head foils include?
Tailored foils across the top, crown and sides, plus root tint or melt to blend regrowth. A toner or gloss refines the shade, and a professional blow-dry completes the finish.
Will this cover my grey roots?
Yes. We apply a root tint to cover greys or soften contrast. Your stylist matches the shade to your goals for a seamless blend.
How long will results last?
Highlights typically look fresh for 8 to 12 weeks. Root coverage may need a refresh every 4 to 6 weeks, depending on growth and home care.
Is it suitable for dark hair?
Yes, but very dark or coloured hair may need a gradual plan. We will advise on achievable lift and the best route to preserve hair condition.
Is a cut included?
A haircut is not included and must be booked separately. A professional blow-dry is included so you can see the colour clearly.
