A Root Re-Touch is a focused colour appointment that refreshes your roots and tidies up visible regrowth, so your colour looks even and intentional again. It is ideal when your lengths still look good, but the area around the parting, hairline, or greys at the root are starting to show. Expect careful shade matching, clean placement, and a finish that sits naturally with the rest of your colour.
More information
What a Root Re-Touch appointment covers
A Root Re-Touch is designed to update the first section of hair growth without re colouring the full length every time.
- Consultation and shade check against your existing colour
- Targeted application to the regrowth area, usually around 1 to 3 cm
- Coverage for greys and bright regrowth, where suitable for your chosen shade
- Processing time with comfortable, scalp mindful application
- Rinse, condition, and a polished blow dry finish
Root Re-Touch for grey coverage and obvious regrowth
This service works well when your main goal is a cleaner root line and more even coverage through the crown and hairline. It is a good choice if your mid lengths and ends are still in good condition and you do not want unnecessary overlap of colour.
If your ends have faded, feel dull, or look warmer than your roots, you might need an additional toner or colour refresh through the lengths. That can be discussed during your consultation so the plan matches what you want to see in the mirror.
How the 105 minute Root Re-Touch runs
We start with a clear chat about what is bothering you, regrowth, greys, or both, then confirm the most suitable shade and strength of colour. Colour is applied precisely to the root area, with careful sectioning so the coverage looks even and the regrowth line blends softly.
For colour safety, a patch test may be needed before your appointment.
After your Root Re-Touch, keeping the regrowth line softer for longer
To keep your root area looking fresh between appointments, try to avoid very hot water on the scalp and use colour friendly shampoo and conditioner. If you notice faster fading around the hairline, a weekly colour saving mask can help.
Most people book a Root Re-Touch on a regular cycle, depending on how quickly their hair grows and how much contrast there is at the root. If you are not sure what timing suits you, we can recommend a realistic schedule.
