Hair Colour 101: Highlights

Penny, Creative Director Fox Hair Design Hinckley 

Highlights are a great way of adding dimension and tonality to hair. Gone are the days of bright brassy stripy highlights. The colour, tone, and placement of highlights is bespoke. Highlights are a great way of showing off a great hair cut. Maintenance and upkeep is generally lower than a full head block colour…unless you like your hair super blonde!

Hair Colour 101: Gloss

Jade, Senior Stylist Fox Hair Design Barwell

A colour gloss does exactly what it says. It adds a beautiful glossy shine to the hair, without drastically changing your colour. Colour glosses are really good to have done in between colour services, especially if you have a balayage or ombre. They stop your colour looking dull and washed out. Glosses are semi-permanent and will gradually fade after about 12 washes.

Hair Colour 101: Toners

Grace, Salon Director Fox Hair Design Barwell 

A toner can change a blonde in a matter of minutes. We use toners to cancel or correct the colours that are brought out during a lightening process. A toner can change a brassy blonde in to a cool ash in no time at all. Toners are like the icing on the cake. Toners are only temporary; most blondies know that. Toners need to be topped up regularly to keep your blonde on point.
