Root Melt

Root Melt colour blending: what you get

A Root Melt focuses on the root area and the first part of the mid-lengths to create a gradual fade rather than a clear line.

• A softened regrowth area with a seamless transition into your lighter colour
• Custom root depth to suit your natural base and your existing highlights or balayage
• Blending through the mid-lengths to remove banding and harsh lines
• Optional refreshing of tone on the lighter lengths if they look warm or dull
• A finished look that grows out more evenly, helping you stretch time between colour appointments

Root Melt is a good choice for grown-out highlights and bright blondes with a harsh root line

• Your highlights have grown out and you want them to look blended rather than blocky
• You like being lighter, but want the root area to look softer and more natural
• You are correcting a visible line or band from previous colouring
• You want a lower-maintenance blonde or brunette without losing brightness through the ends

How a Root Melt appointment is carried out

You will start with a shade check to match your natural root and the tone through your lengths. Colour is applied at the root and worked down in sections, using controlled blending so the transition looks gradual rather than striped. If needed, the lighter hair is refined with a toner to keep the overall finish clean and even.

After your Root Melt: keeping the blend looking fresh

Use colour-safe shampoo and keep heat styling to moderate temperatures to help the tone last. A purple or blue shampoo can help if your lighter lengths pull warm, but only use it as advised to avoid over-toning. Booking a toner refresh between full colour services can keep the melt looking seamless as your hair grows.
