Salon technique called root tapping blends gray hair with semi-permanent color
Hair specialists describe a method known as root tapping that uses semi-permanent dye to blend new gray growth at the scalp.
Technique creates seamless transition
The process diffuses the line between natural silver strands and existing colored hair. This approach adds softness and shine while avoiding a stark demarcation line during the grow-out phase. As the color fades, new growth appears more subtly to the eye.
Color specialist explains method
Katie Collins from Haug London Haus refers to the procedure as the lip gloss method. She notes that the treatment adds fullness without providing complete coverage like a traditional root touch-up. The technique can cover up to 70 percent of gray hair according to her statement.
Ideal for low maintenance
Root tapping serves as a gentler alternative to permanent color for those seeking soft coverage. It allows women to embrace natural silver strands without committing to an all-over silver look. The semi-permanent formula makes the transition feel effortless and requires less frequent salon visits.
