What is a root melt?

Root melt is a hair coloring technique that involves blending two or more colors seamlessly at the roots of the hair. This creates a soft, natural-looking transition between different shades, avoiding harsh lines or obvious demarcations. Root melt is often used to create a more natural and low-maintenance hair color look, as it allows for longer periods between touch-ups.

The process of a root melt usually involves applying a darker shade at the roots and gradually blending it into a lighter color towards the ends of the hair. This can be done using balayage or ombre techniques to achieve a soft, lived-in effect.

Root melt is a popular choice for those looking to add dimension and depth to their hair color, enhance their natural hair color, or try out a new color without committing to frequent touch-ups. It can be customized to suit individual preferences and can be done with various color combinations, from subtle and natural to bold and dramatic.
