Full Head Colour

What to Expect

Your appointment begins with a consultation to discuss your desired shade, natural colour level, grey coverage needs, and any previous colour history. Your stylist will then:

• Section your hair and apply colour from roots to mid-lengths and ends using a bowl and brush
• Ensure full saturation on both top and underside of each section for even coverage
• Process the colour for 25–45 minutes depending on the formula and your hair's needs
• Rinse thoroughly, apply conditioner, and finish with a blow-dry or style

Strand tests may be used to assess how your hair reacts, and patch tests are recommended if you're new to colour or changing formulas.

Who It Suits

Full Head Colour is ideal if you want a solid, uniform shade rather than multi-tonal highlights or balayage. It's perfect for:

• First-time colour clients seeking a straightforward, predictable change
• Grey coverage requiring complete, even application from scalp to ends
• Tonal shifts — going warmer, cooler, or refreshing faded colour
• Enriching natural colour for added depth and shine

If you're after dimension and contrast, Katie or Jade can recommend combining full colour with highlights or balayage for a blended, multi-dimensional finish.

Maintenance & Aftercare

Permanent Full Head Colour grows out at the roots, so touch-ups are typically needed every 4–8 weeks to maintain even coverage. To keep your colour vibrant:

• Use sulphate-free or colour-safe shampoo and conditioner
• Rinse with lukewarm water rather than hot
• Reduce heat styling and always use a heat protectant
• Protect hair from UV, chlorine and hard water when swimming or in strong sun
• Book occasional deep conditioning treatments if your hair feels dry or porous

Your stylist will tailor aftercare advice to your colour formula, hair condition and lifestyle.

Pricing & Variables

Full Head Colour at Michael Todd Hairdressing starts from £68–£91, with pricing reflecting hair length, thickness, and the type of colour used. Very long or thick hair, or formulas requiring additional toners or treatments, may adjust the final cost. Dramatic changes — such as brunette to vivid copper — may need extra processing time or multiple sessions to reach your target shade safely, so Marie or Rebekah will discuss realistic timelines and expectations during your consultation.
