Root Tap

What a Root Tap service covers

A Root Tap focuses on the first few centimetres at the scalp to create a soft shadow and a smoother blend.

• A quick colour consultation to agree the depth and tone at the roots.
• Careful placement of colour at the root area to blur the regrowth line.
• A more seamless transition between your natural base and lighter lengths.
• Extra depth at the roots for a more natural, dimensional finish.
• A more wearable grow out, especially after highlights or balayage.
• Finishing steps to check tone balance and overall blend.

Root Tap results that suit real life hair

A Root Tap is a great choice if you are:

• Seeing a strong line between your natural colour and previous highlights.
• Finding your balayage has grown out but looks a bit too bright at the top.
• Wanting a softer root area without fully changing your overall colour.
• Trying to make blonde look more natural and less high contrast.
• After a low maintenance refresh between bigger colour appointments.

How a Root Tap is applied in a 30 minute appointment

We match the root tone to your base and your lengths, then apply colour just where it is needed around the root area. It is processed for the right amount of time to create a soft fade, rather than a block line. Because this is a hair colour service, a patch test may be needed before your appointment, we will guide you in a simple, reassuring way.

After your Root Tap, keeping the blend looking fresh

To help the root blend stay soft and your lengths stay bright, use a colour friendly shampoo, keep heat protection in your routine, and avoid over washing where you can. If you are very blonde through the ends, an occasional toner or gloss can help keep the tone clean while the Root Tap keeps the regrowth looking gentle.
