    Root Smudge - Whats the Difference

    Advice - 19 March 2024

    Read time - 2 mins

    Root Smudge, Root Melt and Root Tap – these terms might sound unfamiliar to those outside the hairdressing world. We understand! That’s why we’re here to explain these common root services and help you understand which one might be perfect for your hair goals. Let’s explore…

    Root Melt - Whats the Difference

    ⚡️ Root Melt

    Root melt is the key to achieving that effortlessly chic “lived-in” look! This technique creates depth and dimension by blending your natural hair colour with highlights or lowlights seamlessly. It’s ideal for those seeking a low-maintenance style with a naturally blended root. Whether you envision rich brunette melts or high-contrast blondes, root melt can bring your hair dreams to life.

    Root Smudge - Whats the Difference

    ⚡️ Root Smudge

    Looking to add subtle yet noticeable contrast to your roots? Enter root smudge! This technique involves applying a darker shade to the roots, creating a smooth transition that softens any harsh lines. Root smudge offers versatility – it can be extended down 1-2 inches for a more pronounced effect or used to refresh your hair colour, adding depth and dimension. Perfect for those who wait 10-12 weeks between salon visits and desire a natural, effortless appearance.

    Root Tap - Whats the Difference

    ⚡️ Root Tap

    Want to maintain your blonde locks while softening those harsh lines? Root tap is the answer! This technique entails applying a small amount of your natural colour to the hair at the root, resulting in a subtle, sun-kissed effect that promotes a gentle grow-out. Ideal for clients who prefer a blonde look without the constant maintenance.
