This focused service brightens the top and sides of your hair — the areas most visible day-to-day — helping you maintain a polished look with less time in the chair. As with all our colour services, your stylist will begin with a patch test at least 48 hours beforehand to ensure your skin is comfortable with the colour products we use. At your appointment, we’ll take time for a one-to-one consultation. This allows us to understand the look you’d like to achieve and what level of upkeep suits your lifestyle. Whether you're looking to maintain soft, natural lift or prefer a brighter finish around the parting and hairline, we’ll tailor your t-section highlights to you. We’ll then select the most flattering shades based on your skin tone, natural base, and existing colour. Foils are carefully placed through the parting and front sections to refresh brightness and blend regrowth, creating a seamless and natural result. A typical t-section highlight appointment takes around 1 and a half hours, depending on your hair. In some cases, we may apply a toner to refine the overall tone or add softness and shine — especially useful if you're blending previous colour or want to neutralise any unwanted warmth. To keep your colour looking its best, most clients return every 6–8 weeks for maintenance. Between visits, we recommend Davines hair care — a luxurious, professional range that supports colour vibrancy, strength, and condition. T-section highlights are an excellent way to keep your blonde or multi-tonal colour fresh and luminous — without committing to a full head every time.

T-section highlights with foils at Michael Todd Hairdressing start from £65–£80, depending on your hair length, thickness and whether additional treatments or toners are included. How long does a T-section highlights appointment take? Most T-section foil appointments take around 1.5–2.5 hours, including consultation, application, processing, toning and styling. Processing time varies depending on your hair type and the lift required. What's the difference between T-section highlights and a half head? T-section highlights focus only on the parting, crown and front hairline in a "T" shape, while a half head covers the top half of your head more extensively. T-section is quicker, more affordable and ideal for maintenance or subtle brightness. How often should I have T-section highlights done? Most clients maintain T-section highlights every 6–8 weeks to refresh regrowth and keep brightness looking fresh. Your stylist will recommend a schedule based on your hair growth and colour goals. Will T-section highlights damage my hair? All lightening raises the hair cuticle and can increase dryness, but professional application, toning and conditioning treatments help protect hair integrity. If your hair is already compromised, your stylist may recommend gentler options or strengthening treatments first. Can I have T-section highlights if I have dark hair? Yes, T-section highlights work on all hair colours. Darker hair may lift warmer and require toning to achieve cooler or ashier shades. Your stylist will customise the approach based on your starting colour and desired result. Do I need to prepare my hair before T-section highlights? Come with dry, product-free hair so your stylist can assess its natural condition. Avoid washing immediately before if your scalp is sensitive, as natural oils provide some protection during lightening. Will my regrowth be obvious after T-section highlights? Regrowth from T-section highlights is usually softer than with all-over bleach because only selected strands are lightened. However, you will see a visible line as your hair grows, which is why regular maintenance is recommended. What aftercare products should I use for T-section highlights? Use sulphate-free, colour-safe shampoos and nourishing conditioners to preserve tone and moisture. A weekly deep conditioning mask and occasional purple or blue toning shampoo (for blonde highlights) will help keep your colour fresh and healthy. Can I have T-section highlights if I've had other colour services? Yes, but your stylist will assess your colour history and hair condition during consultation. Previously coloured or lightened hair may need adjusted timing, product strength or additional treatments to achieve the best result safely.
