Half Head Foils
Choose the right foil coverage and colour service before you book.
Half Head Foils create brightness and dimension through the top, sides, hairline, and visible surface areas. They are often chosen when you want a noticeable blonde or highlighted result without moving into full-head coverage.
Choose the Half Head Foils option that matches the colour result and permanent colour service required.
Half Head Foils are the first coverage level in the CXC Foils Coverage Ladder. Across each option, the foil coverage remains Half Head. The difference is whether permanent colour is included with the foils.
Choose by colour service
Half Head Foils are selected when your appointment is focused on foil lightening, toner, and finish.
Foils create brightness, contrast, and dimension through controlled placement. They can also soften the look of visible grey regrowth patterns around the face, part line, and surface areas.
Half Head Foils with Regrowth Colour are selected when permanent root colour is booked with your foils, including when grey coverage is required.
Half Head Foils with Full Colour are selected when a full permanent colour service is booked with your foils.

How it wears in Cairns
Half Head Foils create visible brightness and dimension without full-head saturation.
In Cairns heat, humidity, UV exposure, swimming, and frequent washing, foils and permanent colour can wear differently. Booking the correct Half Head option helps the blonde, root colour, and overall result wear more predictably between visits.
Anna MClaine — “These blokes are so amazing I was in a dark mood today but as expected their professionalism and welcoming fun demeanour picked me right up! My hair feels fresh and healthy, the cut and colour exactly as I requested. Cannot fault them, 100% fantastic local business ran by 2 very beautiful souls!”
Maintaining your Half Head Foils between visits
Blonde Refresh may support tone, shine, softness, and finish around 3–4 weeks after your Half Head Foils, or when the blonde visibly loses brightness or polish.
It does not add new foils or rebuild coverage.
Why it matters:
Half Head Foils focus visible brightness through the top, sides, hairline, and surface areas. Blonde Refresh gives clients a support option between foil appointments without confusing maintenance with a new foil service.
Before your foils begin
Before colour work begins, your stylist confirms that the selected booking matches the colour service required.
If permanent colour is needed but was not selected, the appointment may need to be adjusted before proceeding.
Toner refines the blonde created by the foils. It is not a substitute for permanent colour.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between the Half Head Foils options?
A: The foil coverage is the same. The difference is the permanent colour service booked with the foils.
Q: Can foils help with grey regrowth?
A: Foils can soften the look of visible grey regrowth, especially around the face, part line, and surface areas. If grey coverage is required at the roots, permanent root colour must be included in the selected booking.
Q: Is toner the same as permanent colour?
A: No. Toner refines the blonde result created by the foils. Permanent colour is a separate colour service and must be included in the selected booking.
Q: Should I book Regrowth Colour or Full Colour with my foils?
A: Choose Regrowth Colour when permanent colour is needed at the root area, including grey coverage. Choose Full Colour when permanent colour is needed beyond the root area as part of the overall colour service.
Q: Will Half Head Foils make me blonde all over?
A: No. Half Head Foils create visible brightness through selected areas. If you need more blonde coverage, your stylist may guide you to Three Quarter Head Foils or Full Head Foils.
