A root touch up is when hair colour is applied to the roots of your head. This process helps erase any imperfections such as demarcation lines as well as cover grey hair. This will aid in creating more of a seamless and blended look to your hair, thereby making you look put together and boosting your confidence! This treatment usually lasts up to 4 – 6 weeks depending on the client; depending on the rapidity of hair growth and the percentage of grey hair on the client will impact how long this treatment will last. 

Another reason people look for root touch ups is to create a root melt or a root shadow. This is a popular trend as it helps blend the roots seamlessly to the rest of your hair. This process allows your hair time to grow out, while still blending in with the rest of your hair. We often have clients that are looking to be blonder but do not want the maintenance of coming into the salon every 4 – 6 weeks. A root melt helps in creating that lighter look, but eliminates the maintenance of having to touch up roots frequently. This service is a win-win as it prevents our clients from having to return to the salon frequently, but still creates that blended and put together look for their hair!

How long does it take to do a root colour touch up in the salon?

When getting any type of colouring in a salon, it is important to set aside some time during your day as hair colouring cannot be rushed. When getting a root colour touch up in the salon application from the stylist can take 30 – 60 minutes, the processing time takes around 30 – 45 minutes and to wash and style can take 30 – 60 minutes. Be prepared to set aside about two or three hours to get your roots touched up. Keep in mind it is better to take the necessary time than to rush.

Why should I get my roots touched up in a salon instead of at home?

Although it may be tempting to buy an at home dye kit, it is not recommended. When going to a salon, your stylist creates a blend of dye to match your hair perfectly, whereas at home kits cannot match your hair with the same level of precision. At home kits can leave you with mismatched roots and an unsightly blend. Additionally, products found in salons are higher quality and are better for your hair health, however at home kits can contain ingredients that can damage your hair. Lastly, stylists at salons are professionals, and they can blend your roots seamlessly. An at home kit can leave you with patches, splotches and an unblended root. It is always best to go to the salon if you are looking to colour your hair.
