T-Section Highlights can be more affordable than other root coverage options, as they cover less of the head and so are quicker to apply using less product.
T-Section Highlights are a top up service to refresh your existing highlights, focusing on your parting, crown and the front of your hairline.
While full-head highlights include lightened sections all over your head, the T-section (or T-bar) technique mostly focuses on the roots of your front hairline, parting and crown to refresh your look. Placed throughout the head either on your roots or through to your ends, full-head highlights are more transformative. However, you can largely maintain your natural colour with a t-section.
Half-head highlights are similar to T-Section Highlights but take a bit longer to apply and cost a little more. Highlights are placed through the top, front and sides of your head, stopping just below the crown, and applied to either your roots or ends. Choose a T-section if you want to top up your roots colour, and a half-head for added volume and depth.
T-Section highlights are the ideal choice for those seeking a low-commitment colour enhancement with minimal maintenance. This technique works well for clients who already have existing highlights and would benefit from a little refresh. It is also a great choice for busy clients who want a quick, easy-to-maintain option that doesn’t require frequent touch-ups. Additionally, the subtle face-framing nature of the look can be easily tailored to suit a variety of styles, also making it an extremely versatile choice.
On blonde hair, T-section highlights work to add subtle depth and dimension. Even the lightest blonde shades can benefit from strategically placed highlights that enhance the natural tones and create a soft, multi-dimensional effect.
For brown hair, lighter highlights can introduce warmth and contrast, helping to brighten the overall look without overpowering the base colour. This technique is perfect for adding a sun-kissed effect or enhancing brightness and shine.
When applied to black hair, precision is key. Carefully placed highlights can create a sleek, reflective quality, adding dimension and movement without appearing too harsh or stark. Choosing the right shade, such as caramel or chestnut, can help achieve a more natural result.
On red hair, highlights can amplify the hair’s natural vibrancy by weaving in golden, copper, or auburn tones. These highlights catch the light beautifully, adding richness and enhancing the colour.
For grey hair, T-section highlights can blend seamlessly with natural grey strands, offering added depth and softness. This technique is particularly effective for anyone transitioning to grey, as it helps soften the contrast between dyed and natural hair, creating a softer look.
Proper care is essential to maintaining the vibrancy of your T-Section highlights, as well as the health of your hair. With the right routine, you can keep your colour looking fresh and your hair in top condition.
Investing in colour-safe shampoos and conditioners is crucial for preserving the vibrancy of your highlights. These products are specifically formulated to prevent fading and keep your colour looking vibrant for longer. Sulphate-free formulas are particularly beneficial, as they cleanse gently without stripping away essential moisture and colour.
Washing your hair too frequently can cause colour to fade more quickly. To prolong the life of your highlights, try to limit washing to two or three times a week. On non-wash days, a dry shampoo can help refresh your hair without compromising the colour.
Highlighted hair can become dry or brittle over time, so regular conditioning is key to maintaining its health and shine. Incorporate a deep conditioning treatment or hair mask into your routine once a week to nourish and strengthen your hair, keeping it soft and manageable.
Heat styling and sun exposure can both contribute to colour fading and hair damage. Always use a heat protectant spray before using styling tools such as straighteners, curling wands, or hair dryers. Additionally, wearing a hat or using UV-protective hair products can help shield your hair from the sun’s harmful rays, preserving your colour and preventing dryness.
To keep your T-section highlights looking fresh and well-blended, schedule regular touch-up appointments every 6 to 8 weeks. This will help maintain seamless regrowth and prevent the highlights from becoming too grown out or uneven.
