A “full color” service, also known as all-over color, is a hair coloring technique that involves applying color to the entire head of hair from roots to ends. This process is designed to change or enhance the overall hair color, cover gray hair, or create a uniform shade throughout.
The full color service typically includes the following steps:
1. Consultation: The stylist discusses desired results, assesses hair condition, and determines the appropriate color formulation.
2. Preparation: The hair is sectioned, and a protective barrier cream is applied along the hairline.
3. Application: Color is applied systematically from roots to ends using a brush or bottle.
4. Processing: The color is left to develop for a specified time, usually around 30 minutes.
5. Rinsing and Conditioning: The hair is thoroughly rinsed and conditioned with color-safe products.
6. Styling: The hair is dried and styled as desired.
Full color services can use permanent, demi-permanent, or semi-permanent color, depending on the desired outcome and level of gray coverage needed. The process typically takes less time than highlight services and is ideal for those seeking a complete color change or full gray coverage.
