A Root Touch-Up refreshes your colour exactly where you need it most: the regrowth at your parting, hairline and crown. Colour is applied to the roots only, helping your shade look even again without re-colouring your mid-lengths and ends.

A finished look so you can see the root blend clearly in natural movement

Root Touch-Up works best when you want to fix a clear regrowth line

This service suits you if your colour looks good through the lengths, but the roots have grown out and are changing the overall look. It is ideal for maintaining single-process colour, refreshing grey coverage at the root, or keeping a darker base looking tidy between bigger colour appointments.

How a 75-minute root-only colour appointment typically runs

The appointment starts with a quick check of your current shade and your regrowth level, then the colour is mixed and applied to the roots in clean sections for even coverage. While the colour processes, the focus stays on the root area so your mid-lengths and ends are not repeatedly re-coloured. After processing, the colour is rinsed away and your hair is cleansed and conditioned before the result is finished and checked.

Keeping roots looking even between Root Touch-Up visits

To help your root blend last, avoid overwashing, use colour-safe shampoo, and keep heat styling controlled with a protectant. Most people book root-only colour at regular intervals depending on how fast their hair grows and how visible their regrowth is, especially around the hairline and parting.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I book a Root Touch-Up?

Most clients book when regrowth is clearly visible at the parting and hairline, often around 4 to 6 weeks. If your hair grows quickly or you are covering greys, you may prefer a slightly shorter gap.

Will a Root Touch-Up cover greys?

Yes, root application can be used for grey coverage, depending on the shade you want and how resistant your greys are. Your colour choice may be adjusted to achieve the most even coverage at the root area.

Is a Root Touch-Up the same as a full head colour?

No. A Root Touch-Up is colour applied to the regrowth only, while a full head colour typically refreshes roots and pulls colour through the lengths. Root-only colour helps avoid unnecessary re-colouring of mid-lengths and ends.

Can I have a Root Touch-Up if I have balayage or highlights?

Often, yes, if you want to refresh the base colour at the roots between lightening appointments. If your highlights start right at the scalp or you need lightening at the root, a different service may be more suitable.

What if my previous colour was done elsewhere or at home?

That is fine, but it is important to be clear about what has been used so the new colour can be matched safely and accurately. If needed, you may be advised to book a consultation first to check the shade through your lengths and ends.
