Root touch-up is a salon service aimed at covering regrowth and maintaining the consistency of hair color between full-color treatments. It’s especially useful for those with dyed hair, as it helps keep the color looking fresh and even. Here’s a detailed overview of root touch-ups:
What is Root Touch-Up?
- Purpose: To cover visible regrowth of natural hair color and blend it seamlessly with the previously dyed hair.
- Frequency: Depending on hair growth and color, touch-ups are typically needed every 4-8 weeks.
Types of Root Touch-Ups
Permanent Color
- Purpose: Provides long-lasting color that fully covers grey or regrowth.
- Application: The dye is applied to the roots and then blended through the rest of the hair if needed.
Semi-Permanent Color
- Purpose: Offers a less permanent solution with color that gradually fades over time.
- Application: Applied to the roots to blend with existing color. It’s suitable for maintaining color in between full dye jobs.
Demi-Permanent Color
- Purpose: Provides longer-lasting color than semi-permanent but doesn’t fully cover grey hair.
- Application: Ideal for blending regrowth and adding subtle color without a full commitment.
Highlight Touch-Up
- Purpose: Refreshes or adds highlights to the regrowth area, blending with existing highlights.
- Application: Lightener or highlight dye is applied to the roots and possibly blended through the lengths for a cohesive look.
