When colour starts to look tired, it is easy to book the wrong thing. The two most common fixes are a root touch-up and fresh highlights.
A root touch-up
This refreshes the colour at the roots where your own shade has grown in. It suits single-shade colour and keeps the look consistent between larger appointments.
Highlights
Highlights add lighter strands for brightness and movement. They come as a half head, which focuses on the top and crown, or a full head, which covers every section.
How to choose
- A line at your roots is the problem: a root touch-up
- Your colour looks flat overall: highlights
- You are not sure: ask for a colour consultation, which Hair Nova offers free
Before any colour
A patch test is needed before colour. Ask when you book so it does not delay your appointment.
