What to expect

1

Match the regrowth

Discuss how the new roots should blend with the existing lengths and whether grey coverage is the goal.

2

Colour the agreed area

Root tint focuses on regrowth. Refreshing all the lengths or adding highlights should be confirmed as separate work.

Preparation and aftercare

Before your appointment

  • Explain your current shade and previous dye reactions, and complete any product-specific allergy testing.
  • Mention scalp soreness or recent bleaching so the stylist can assess the regrowth safely.

After your appointment

  • Use a gentle hair-care routine and avoid excessive heat on coloured lengths.
  • Plan another root appointment according to visible regrowth; do not repeatedly recolour all the lengths just to cover roots.

FAQs

What length of regrowth qualifies for a root tint service?

Regrowth of up to 2 to 3 cm (roughly 4 to 8 weeks of growth) qualifies for a root touch-up. If your regrowth extends past 3 cm, an All-Over Color service may be required to ensure even coverage.

Does a root tint cover 100% of grey hair?

Yes! Our permanent root touch-up formulas are specifically designed to provide 100% full coverage for resistant grey regrowth.

How often should I get my roots colored?

Most clients book a root touch-up every 4 to 6 weeks to maintain continuous coverage along their parting and hairline.

Is a root touch-up the same as root bleaching for highlights?

No. A root tint deposits permanent or demi-permanent color to cover regrowth or greys. If you have blonde highlights, you will require a Highlight/Bleach Root Touch-Up.

How long does a root touch-up appointment take?

A root touch-up appointment typically takes 60 to 75 minutes, covering consultation, sectioning, processing time, basin rinse, and rough drying.
