Root Blend softens the contrast between natural regrowth and existing highlights. A tailored root shade melts into the mid-lengths to add depth, blur demarcation and stretch time between full colour sessions. Expect believable dimension and a polished, lived-in finish that grows out smoothly.
Your colour price covers the colour service; a finish (cut & finish, or blow-dry) is booked and charged separately — just add it when you book.

Who It's For
If your highlights leave a visible line at the root after a few weeks or your grow-out looks stripey, a root blend is ideal. It softens contrast and adds gentle depth for a more refined, low-maintenance result.
It suits blondes, brondes and brunettes, and is helpful for softening early greys without a solid block of colour. It is also a smart transition if you want to move from bright highlights to a more natural, expensive-looking finish.
Duration & Appointment Timing
A Root Blend takes around 1 hour 45 minutes when booked on its own. When paired with foils or balayage, allow additional time so the blend and tone can be perfected.
Most clients schedule a root blend every 8 to 12 weeks to soften regrowth and refresh tone, alternating with full highlights as needed. If your hair grows quickly or you want more grey blending, 6 to 8 weeks may be better.
Aftercare & Maintenance
Wait 48 hours before washing so the colour can settle. Use sulphate-free, colour-safe shampoo and a nourishing conditioner to protect tone and shine.
If you are blonde, use a purple or blue toning shampoo no more than once a week to keep brassiness in check. Always apply heat protectant and keep tools under 185°C.
Shield hair from strong sun and chlorine where possible, and rinse after swimming. Book your next root blend at 8 to 12 weeks, with a gloss or trim as needed to keep the finish polished.
