Choose Your Lightening Technique

Before you select your lightening technique, here's a quick breakdown of the 3 main options, so you can come to us with an idea in mind:

Colour Changes: If you want to lighten your hair from root to tip — say, from brunette to blonde — an all-over colour service is your go-to. We’ll apply the colour evenly throughout, selecting a tone that enhances your complexion and brings out your features. And don't worry — at Combers, we use only the finest quality, cruelty-free products to ensure your hair stays healthy, shiny and beautiful after lightening.

Balayage: Balayage is the ultimate beachy, summer look. This technique involves hand-painting colour onto selected areas of the hair to create a lightening effect. We take care to mix shades that work with your natural hair colour, creating a beautiful contrast between light and dark sections. This technique looks gorgeous and natural, even as it grows out, making it the perfect low-maintenance option.

Highlights and Babylights: If you'd prefer something bold — without colouring your hair all over — highlights are the perfect solution. Highlights create a striking contrast between darker and lighter areas, guaranteed to get heads turning (for all the right reasons!). If that's not your thing, babylights are a great alternative, creating a subtle lightening effect that's simple and easy to maintain at home.

Take Care of Your Colour Like a Pro

Caring for coloured hair correctly is essential if you want to keep that summer glow throughout the season. Here are our top tips to keep your hair shining:

*Don't Forget to Condition: Incorporate weekly deep conditioning treatments to prevent dryness and keep your hair healthy, soft and knot-free.

*Protect Your Locks: Always apply a heat protectant product before using heat styling tools such as curling irons or blow dryers, in order to prevent damage, dryness and frizz. Keep heat styling tools on a low heat setting to minimise damage.

*Keep it Sulphate-Free: For lightened hair, we always recommend using a sulphate-free shampoo to help maintain your colour, prevent dryness, and keep your hair feeling soft and healthy

*Get Bespoke Product Tips: At your colour appointment, ask our stylists for personalised recommendations on the best conditioning and heat protection products for your hair type. We're always happy to help!

Why Choose Combers for All of Your Hair Lightening Needs?

If you're considering a home-dying kit to lighten your locks this summer, think again! While home colour kits may seem tempting (and cheap), chances are you'll end up with dry and damaged hair. And that's if it doesn't come out a completely different shade to what you were expecting! That's why, when it comes to colouring your hair, it's always best to leave it to the pros.

At Combers, we care deeply about your hair and how you feel when you leave our salon. Our expert colourists will work with your natural tones to create beautiful, glowing results that reflect your unique style — and keep your hair healthy and radiant in the process.
