root touch-up

Gray coverage paint

A root touch-up is a hair coloring treatment that covers new growth at the scalp where natural color has grown in, creating a visible contrast with previously dyed hair.

The procedure targets only the roots rather than coloring the entire head: I need a root touch-up—my gray is showing.

Available as salon services or at-home kits.
