It can help maintain an established shade, cover visible grey roots, match regrowth to the existing colour or maintain a lightened root service. Pink Lime currently lists standard root touch ups from $125+, bleach root touch ups from $175+, and root colour with highlights from $300+.
Focused Regrowth Colour
What Is a Root Touch Up?
Hair continues to grow from the scalp.
That creates a visible area of natural colour between the scalp and previously coloured lengths.
A root touch up focuses mainly on that new growth.
It is different from:
- All over colour
- Toner
- Colour correction
- Highlight maintenance
This page should explain those differences clearly.

Root Touch Up Comparisons
Root Touch Up vs All Over Colour
Root Touch Up
Targets new growth.
All Over Colour
Applies colour through a much larger portion of the hair.
Clients should not automatically refresh permanent colour through the lengths every time the roots need maintenance.
The stylist can decide whether faded lengths need another service.
Root Touch Up vs Toner
These services solve different problems.
Root Colour
Addresses new growth.
Toner
Adjusts tone, often after lightening or between larger colour services.
Root Touch Up vs Root Smudge
A root smudge is usually used to create a softer transition around the root area.
A standard root touch up aims more directly at regrowth colour.
Do not claim Pink Lime offers a dedicated root smudge unless the service is confirmed.
Use this section primarily as an educational comparison.
Personalized Root Maintenance
How Often Should Roots Be Refreshed?
There is no universal schedule.
The decision can depend on:
Speed of hair growth
Contrast between natural and coloured hair
Amount of visible grey
Personal preference
Type of root service
Desired maintenance level
This answer is more useful than giving everyone the same number of weeks.
