1. Partial highlights or lowlights: This involves coloring specific sections of the hair, typically around the face or crown, to add dimension and brightness without completely changing the base color.
2. Color melting: This involves blending two or more colors together seamlessly, often starting with a darker color at the roots and gradually transitioning to a lighter color at the ends. This can be done with a partial application, focusing on specific areas like the top or sides.
3. Balayage: This freehand technique involves painting highlights onto the hair in a sweeping motion, creating a natural-looking, sun-kissed effect. Balayage can also be done with partial application, focusing on certain sections like the face frame or ends.
4. Ombre: This technique features a gradual transition from a darker color at the roots to a lighter color at the ends. Like balayage, ombre can also be done with partial application, focusing on specific areas.
5. Babylights: These are extremely fine highlights that mimic the natural sun-kissed look, often placed near the hairline or around the face. They can be applied partially or all over.
6. "Root smudge" or "root shadow": This involves adding a darker color to the roots to create a soft, blended look and mask regrowth. It can be done partially, focusing on the top or sides, or all over.
To understand what "partial head color" means in your context, please provide more information, like:
* What is the desired outcome? Are you looking for highlights, a gradual color transition, or something else?
* What is the current hair color?
* Are there any specific areas of the head you want to focus on?
Once you provide more details, I can give you a more specific answer and recommendations.
