If you color your hair, you know how quickly those roots grow back. Just a few weeks after your salon visit, that little line of regrowth can appear. But don’t worry—there’s an easy way to keep your hair looking fresh and vibrant: root touch up.
Whether you’re in Vancouver or Surrey, BC, or searching for the best root touch up near me, this guide will explain why root touch ups are a must for anyone who wants flawless hair color.
What Is a Root Touch Up?
A root touch up is a quick and simple hair coloring service that targets only the roots—usually the new hair growth or visible greys. It’s ideal for:
-
Grey hair at the roots
-
Natural hair color growing in
-
Maintaining any dyed hair color like blonde, brunette, or red
At Express Rutbar, we offer an Express Root Touch Up service that takes less than an hour. You’ll get permanent grey coverage, a scalp massage, and a rough blow dry—all starting at just $65+.
Why Are Root Touch Ups So Important?
1. Keeps Hair Color Consistent
When roots grow out, they create a clear line between your natural and colored hair. Touching them up keeps your color looking smooth and even from root to tip.
2. Saves Time and Money
A full hair color appointment can be time-consuming and expensive. A root touch up is faster, more affordable, and requires fewer materials.
3. Protects Hair Health
Because the color is only applied to new growth, the rest of your hair remains untouched. That means less chemical stress and healthier strands overall.
4. Keeps You Looking Polished
Covering roots helps you look well-groomed and confident—whether you’re at work, on a date, or running errands.
How Often Should You Get a Root Touch Up?
Most people need a root touch up every 4 to 6 weeks, depending on:
-
How fast their hair grows
-
How visible their grey or natural color is
If your regrowth is more than half an inch, you might need an all-over color treatment instead.

Tips to Keep Your Color Fresh Between Touch Up
To make your color last longer and look better between appointments, follow these easy tips:
-
Use color-safe shampoo and conditioner

Avoid using too much heat styling

Wear a hat or scarf in the sun

These habits help reduce fading and keep your color looking salon-fresh.

FAQs About Root Touch Ups
Q: Can I do a root touch up at home?
A: You can try, but it’s hard to match your color exactly and apply it cleanly to just the roots. A professional service gives better results.
Q: What if I have more than 3 inches of regrowth?
A: We recommend booking an all-over color service to get a smooth and even tone from roots to ends.
Q: Will a root touch up damage my hair?
A: No. Since we only color the roots and skip the bleach, it’s a safer option that protects your overall hair health.
