Bonus--she doesn't charge me for the extras! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/highlights-full-or-half-head#post-1326741 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 19:53:07 +0000 erinpye 1326741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always get a partial. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/highlights-full-or-half-head#post-1326628 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 19:03:21 +0000 deactivated_account 1326628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only get a partial, but always want a full. My hair lady says that highlights are only really meant to be on top if you want them to look natural since the sun doesn't naturally highlight the bottom portion of girls' hair. Basically, though, I want to look like a natural blonde, not a highlighted brunette. #firstworldproblems </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/highlights-full-or-half-head#post-1326627 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 19:02:26 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1326627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have only done partial because my stylist pushed it. If i ever do it again I'd go full so that even when my hair is in a pony all of it has the lighter color. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/highlights-full-or-half-head#post-1326620 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 18:58:56 +0000 MrsH 1326620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends on how much yon plan on maintaining it. If you don't plan on going frequently, I'd just do a partial. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/highlights-full-or-half-head#post-1326514 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 18:00:39 +0000 Mommy Finger 1326514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only get partial </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/highlights-full-or-half-head#post-1325295 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 13:10:33 +0000 Greentea 1325295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only get a partial... still expensive but hides anything... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/highlights-full-or-half-head#post-1325279 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 13:06:30 +0000 Happygal 1325279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Partial--I like having a darker color underneath like you normally would have. Plus, much cheaper! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/highlights-full-or-half-head#post-1325239 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 12:55:13 +0000 blackbird 1325239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do full every other time. I wear my hair up or french braid it often </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/highlights-full-or-half-head#post-1325224 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 12:50:46 +0000 LindsayInNY 1325224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did full in the very beginning (10+ years ago) but it made my hair look too much of one color. And when I'd get them redone, I would still have roots because there were so many highlights.</p> <p>So, now I do half/partial. It's cheaper and no one sees the darker underside (for the most part)! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/highlights-full-or-half-head#post-1325210 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 12:44:41 +0000 Littlebit 1325210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do full. The one time I did half they looked nice but I wished I had done them all over..so now I always do full! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/highlights-full-or-half-head#post-1325194 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 12:40:22 +0000 illumina 1325194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm getting my hair dyed tomorrow for the first time in years! I'm naturally a dark blonde, but I need some lighter blonde highlights so the increasing number of grey hairs I've got sprouting from the top of my head look a little more blended! </p> <p>The question is--do I go for full or half head? I've had both done previously and I can't remember which looked best! What are the pros and cons--apart from the cost, which isn't much anyway? </p>
