More information

What this service delivers

A root regrowth colour focuses on the area where your natural hair is showing through, so your overall colour stays clean and balanced.

  • Coverage for visible regrowth at the roots
  • Grey coverage where needed, with an even, reliable finish
  • Careful shade matching to your existing colour
  • Neat application around the hairline and parting for a natural blend
  • A refreshed, uniform look without colouring the full length

When a root regrowth colour is the right choice

This service suits you if your current colour still looks good through the mid-lengths and ends, but the roots are starting to show.

It is ideal for:

  • Maintaining a consistent brunette, blonde, copper, or darker fashion shade
  • Managing grey regrowth between appointments
  • Keeping your colour looking tidy for work, events, or holidays
  • Clients who want ongoing upkeep without a full colour each time

What happens during the appointment

You will start with a brief consultation to confirm your target shade, assess regrowth length, and discuss previous colour history.

The colour is then applied to the root area with careful sectioning, processed to develop the shade, and checked for evenness. Hair is rinsed and conditioned, then finished as agreed so you can see the result clearly.

Aftercare and ongoing maintenance

To keep your roots and tone looking consistent, plan regular maintenance based on how quickly your hair grows and how much contrast there is between your natural shade and your colour.

Use colour-safe shampoo and conditioner, limit excessive heat, and book in before regrowth becomes difficult to blend. If your lengths look faded, you may benefit from an occasional toner or colour refresh alongside your root appointment.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I book a root regrowth colour?
Most people book every 4 to 8 weeks, depending on hair growth and how noticeable the regrowth is. Higher contrast shades and grey coverage usually need more frequent maintenance.
Will this service cover grey roots?
Yes, permanent colour is commonly used for reliable grey coverage at the roots. The exact result depends on your percentage of grey and your chosen shade, which will be discussed at the consultation.
Can you match my existing colour if it was done elsewhere?
In most cases, yes, a shade can be matched and blended to sit well with your current colour. Let your stylist know what has been used on your hair recently so the formula can be chosen accurately.
Can I use this service to go lighter at the roots?
Root regrowth colour is usually for maintaining or deepening a shade, not for significant lightening. If you want a lighter root, you may need a different service such as highlights or bleaching, depending on your hair history.
How should I look after my hair after a root colour?
Wait a couple of days before washing if advised, then use colour-protect shampoo and conditioner. Keep heat styling moderate and consider a weekly mask to help maintain shine and softness.
