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. ## 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.

Lovely friendly service. Will definitely return ## Frequently Asked Questions How often should I book a Root Re-Touch? Most clients come in every 4 to 8 weeks, depending on regrowth speed and how visible the root contrast is. If you are covering greys, you may prefer a shorter cycle to keep the hairline looking neat. Will a Root Re-Touch lighten my hair? A standard Root Re-Touch is usually for adding depth or covering regrowth and greys, not for making the hair lighter. If you want lighter roots or brighter pieces, you will likely need highlights or a different lightening service. Can you match my existing colour exactly? We will match as closely as possible by checking your current shade, any previous colour, and how your ends have faded. If your lengths are a different tone, we may suggest a toner or gloss to bring everything back together. Do I need a patch test for a Root Re-Touch? You may need one if you are new to colour with us, have had a break from colouring, or your health history has changed. It is a quick step that helps keep colour appointments safe and comfortable. Should I arrive with clean hair for a Root Re-Touch? Clean, dry hair is ideal, but do not worry if it is not freshly washed. Avoid heavy oils, root sprays, or dry shampoo on the scalp on the day, as they can affect how evenly the colour takes at the root.
