Tint or color (colour that grows out): both terms used to mean same thing. A permanent colour, that is applied directly onto your scalp to all of your hair. You can achieve a variety of shades and the process is less harsh on your hair and scalp than a bleach.

Semi or Demi colour (colour that fades out): both are all over colours that will change the reflect of your hair or darken it but not lighten it. Demi’s are a little stronger and so last a longer (6 to 8 weeks) and will cover up to 70% grey. Semi’s last about 6 weeks cover approx. 50% grey. Lites, streaks or Highlights: pieces or strands of colour (tint or bleach) generally lighter than your own hair. Some hairdressers use the term to mean only made using bleach. Can be made using foil or a cap. The foil method is broken down into the amount of your hair that needs to have highlights added. This varies depending on your hair cut, the effect you want or even how many highlights you got the last time:

 

Full head: strands spaced throughout all of your hair, normally what you have the first time you try this type of coloring.

Half head: if your hair is long or hair cut suits you may not need a “full head” every time. This costs slightly less and strands are placed everywhere except the nape area.

Crown and Parting: this is when you need a quick set of highlights or an emergency touch-up between a full head or half head. The stands are placed as the name suggests.
 

Low-lights: same as highlights but darker than your own colour or made using tints rather than bleach.

Splices, slices, chunks or pieces: all these terms are used to describe pieces of colour that are made in the same way as high or low lights but are large sections of colour rather than strands.
