FAQs About Root Touch-Ups
-
What are the disadvantages of root touch-up hair?
Root touch-up products are a convenient, quick fix, but they do have some drawbacks. Frequent use can lead to product buildup on the scalp and hair, potentially making it feel heavy or greasy. Additionally, overuse may temporarily dull the shine of your hair extensions. It’s essential to use touch-up sprays in moderation and ensure thorough cleansing during washes to avoid residue. -
Can you use Color Wow on hair extensions?
Yes, you can use Color Wow on hair extensions. However, it’s important to apply it carefully to avoid over-saturating the extension hair, as too much product can weigh them down and affect their texture. -
Should root touch-ups be lighter or darker?
When choosing a root touch-up colour, it’s typically best to go slightly darker than your current shade. This approach ensures that the roots blend naturally and don’t appear ashy or overly light, which can create an unnatural look.
4. Does L’Oreal root touch-up spray wash out?
Yes, L’Oreal Magic Retouch spray is a temporary solution that washes out with one shampoo. This feature makes it perfect for quick fixes between washes or salon appointments. Its easy-to-use formula allows you to refresh your roots or enhance your clip-in extensions without committing to a permanent colour.
Tips for Using Root-Touch-Up’s Sparys:
- Hold the can approximately 10-15 cm from your hair.
- Start with a light application and add more as necessary for better blending.
- Allow to completely dry before applying the hair extensions
