A root tint refreshes your regrowth so your colour looks even, glossy and intentional again. It is ideal when greys start to show or your natural root begins to interrupt an all-over shade, helping you maintain a clean hairline and seamless coverage between colour appointments.
More information
What a root tint appointment covers
A root tint focuses on the new growth, restoring your colour exactly where it has faded or grown out.
- Consultation on your current shade, regrowth level and grey coverage needs
- Shade selection to match your existing colour or refine it subtly at the roots
- Precise application to the regrowth for even, consistent coverage
- Careful attention around the hairline and parting for a natural-looking finish
- Rinse and conditioning to leave hair feeling smooth and comfortable
- Finish styled so you can see the tone and coverage in natural movement
Root tint for seamless grey coverage and tidy regrowth
A root tint is a strong choice if you want reliable grey coverage without changing your overall look. It also suits clients maintaining a single-process colour who want the roots to blend cleanly into the mid-lengths. If you have highlights or balayage, a root tint can be used selectively when the priority is covering greys through the parting and hairline.
How your root tint is applied, step by step
Your colourist assesses the regrowth band, how your existing colour has worn, and where greys are most visible. The tint is applied accurately to the root area, then processed to achieve the right depth and coverage. After rinsing, the finish is checked under salon lighting to ensure the roots sit neatly against the rest of the colour.
Keeping your root tint looking fresh between visits
To keep the root area looking polished, avoid excessive heat at the hairline and use a colour-protecting shampoo and conditioner. If you notice warmth or dullness creeping in, ask about a quick toning refresh at your next visit. Many clients maintain root coverage on a 4 to 8 week cycle, depending on growth rate and contrast.

Carlos did an amazing job with my hair color! I got baby highlights, and the result is absolutely top quality—so natural, soft, and beautifully blended. He really knows what he’s doing and pays close attention to detail. I’m so happy with how it turned out. Highly recommend Carlos if you’re looking for someone truly talented and professional!
