Try it with our freehand lightener, Blondor Freelights, which stays exactly where you apply it – no smudging onto other strands. Half Head Balayage: This painterly technique sees lightener swept through the mid-lengths and ends of hair to create a sun-kissed effect. Here are just some of the ways you can take their partial highlights to the next level… Talk to your client about the results they hope to achieve, then choose your masterstroke. Half head highlights can be stroked root to tip in a perfectly precise pattern, but you may want to fuse them with other techniques, like balayage or babylights. This also means less product is used, making half head highlights one of the most time-efficient, cost-effective and natural-looking colouring processes around. Because you’re sweeping through fewer sections of hair, you don’t have to spend as much time sectioning, painting and foiling pieces of your clients’ locks.

This creates a far subtler finish than a full head highlighting technique, which sees even the lower layers lifted to create an overall brighter, more noticeable transformation.

The trick is to brighten the sections of hair that the sun would naturally lift, so every subtle sweep appears to have been kissed by the warmest summer rays. You can choose to lighten the entire top section or pick out a few precise pieces instead, such as the face-framing layers or the back and sides of the head. While full head highlights are scattered through every layer of hair, half head highlights are usually only applied to the top, most visible sections.
