Full Head Bleach

What to Expect During Your Appointment

Your full head bleach service begins with a thorough consultation to assess your hair's condition, starting colour and your desired result. The process involves:

• Sectioning and application: Hair is divided into quadrants and bleach is applied in fine sections, working from mid-lengths and ends first, then roots last to ensure even lifting
• Careful monitoring: Processing typically takes 20–45 minutes depending on your hair's thickness and starting level, with regular checks every 5–10 minutes
• Rinsing and treatment: Once the desired lift is reached, bleach is thoroughly rinsed, followed by shampooing and bond-building treatments to strengthen the hair structure
• Toning: A toner is applied to refine your shade—whether cool ash, creamy blonde or warm golden—and reduce any unwanted brassiness

The appointment duration varies based on hair length and density, but most clients should expect to be with us for several hours to achieve the best possible result.

Aftercare and Maintenance

Bleached hair requires dedicated care to stay healthy, bright and beautiful. We'll provide personalised advice, but typical aftercare includes:

• Using shampoo and conditioner formulated for colour-treated hair to preserve tone and moisture
• Regular deep conditioning masks and bond-repair treatments to manage increased porosity and prevent dryness
• Purple or anti-yellow shampoo used intermittently to control brassiness between salon visits
• Minimising heat styling or always using heat protection to reduce further damage

Full head bleach is permanent—once pigment is stripped, only new growth at the roots will show your natural colour. Plan for root touch-ups every 6–10 weeks and periodic re-toning as the toner gradually fades and underlying warmth becomes visible.

Is Full Head Bleach Right for You?

This service works beautifully for clients seeking a dramatic blonde transformation or a clean, light base for vivid fashion colours like pastels, pinks or blues. However, a few considerations:

• Hair health is paramount: Existing damage, breakage or a history of box dyes may require a more gradual lightening plan or alternative techniques
• Very dark hair often needs more than one session to reach platinum or very light blonde—expecting this in a single visit can compromise hair integrity
• Maintenance commitment: Beyond regular root services, you'll need to budget time and cost for professional toning, trims and strengthening treatments
• Scalp sensitivity: Bleach sits close to the scalp and can cause warmth or tingling during processing; let your stylist know immediately if discomfort occurs

Our experienced team in Weymouth will assess your hair during consultation and create a realistic plan that prioritises both your colour goals and your hair's long-term health.
