Root Touch Up in Islamabad:

The Root Touch-up treatment in Islamabad helps to provide targeted color application on new roots without affecting previously colored hair color.

Glam Smile Clinic will assess your hair color and choose the appropriate color formulation.

How Does Root Touch Up Work?

First of all, the stylist determines which area needs to be colored by matching natural roots with the existing hair color, and after that, a proper color is precisely applied to the needed sections.

The coloring process continues for the recommended time depending on the selected product and the amount of color coverage. Finally, the hair is washed, conditioned, and styled, thus refreshing the roots without coloring the hair that was already colored earlier.

Types of Root Touch-Up:

  • Grey Root Touch-Up: This treatment covers new grey or white roots and matches them with your hair color.
  • Regrowth Touch-Up: It is used to refresh natural roots once previously colored hair grows back.
  • Single-Process Root Color: One color is used to get even root coverage.
  • Root Blending: It softens the difference between natural regrowth and colored hair.
  • Dark Root Touch-Up: It freshens up dark roots to keep even coloring.
  • Light Root Touch-Up: It lightens suitable root regrowth to match the lighter hair ends.
  • Color-Matched Root Touch-Up: It uses shade-matching

Results of Root Touch-Up in Islamabad:

The coloring of the roots becomes evident right away when the hair is processed and styled. This fresh look lasts until new growth is seen; this typically happens 4–8 weeks from treatment. Touch-ups are based on individual hair growth, color difference, and need for grey coverage.

Progress Timetable:

Time Frame Progress Expected
Day of Treatment The roots are refreshed and look newly colored.
1st Week Color does not change with proper hair care.
2nd Week First signs of regrowth can become evident.
4th Week Most clients would want another root touch-up
6th Week Signs of natural/regrowth becomes more evident.
Beyond the 8th Week May require a professional root color.
