A root hair color or touch-up is a technique of only applying color to the scalp area, also known as the roots, of the hair. This method is recommended for people who want to blend their roots with the rest of their hair, such as those with graying hair or dyed hair, and want everything to look seamlessly blended.
Root touch-ups last up to 6 weeks, but the effects may vary from one person to another and are especially dependent on how fast a person’s hair grows. Although it may be tempting to buy a DIY kit and touch up your roots at home, you may not be able to perfectly match your hair with the same level of precision as a professional does.
Here are some steps to ensure you get the best results and experience from your root hair coloring appointment.
Wash your hair a day before or the night before your appointment. You want to retain the natural oils on your scalp that protect it from irritation.
Although you’ll only be coloring your roots, there’s always the risk of the dye getting transferred to your clothes. It’s best to wear clothing you won’t mind getting stained.
Refrain from using oils, gels, and sprays right before your appointment. These products can affect how the color adheres to your clothes.
Prolong the wonderful effects of your root hair dye by following these aftercare tips.
Refrain from washing your hair right after coloring your roots. You should wait 48 hours before washing because doing so immediately will result in the color fading. Give the pigments enough time to settle in your hair so the root color lasts longer.
Use less shampoo and shampoo your hair less frequently. It’s a good practice to shampoo your hair a maximum of three times a week to improve the longevity of your root hair color.
One of the biggest mistakes people make is using the wrong shampoo and products on their hair. Hair coloring done by professionals costs a lot of money, so it makes perfect sense that you also invest in your hair regimen. Colored hair and chemically treated hair tend to dry, so it’s a must to take good care of your tresses.
Hot water takes a toll on colored hair. Experts recommend washing with cold water to keep fading at a minimum and retain moisture in your scalp and strands.
Just like rinsing hair in hot water, heat styling can also negatively effect root hair dye. It opens the hair cuticle, allowing the color to fade.
People might want sun-kissed highlights, especially during summer, but it’s a must to avoid the sun at all costs to keep pigment degradation at a minimum.
