Basal highlighting on regrown roots: execution technique, paint

Any kind of staining may not be ideal for a long time. Usually, a month after the procedure, overgrown roots are noticeable. Regular staining requires a secondary stain to refresh the color. With highlighting this can not be done, because due to repeated processing, the hair becomes damaged. The tips will be dry and brittle, which spoils their appearance. In this case, basal highlighting on overgrown roots is necessary. This will allow you to find a well-groomed look and not spoil the curls.

What it is?

Hair usually grows 1.5 cm per month, but often less. If you perform highlighting or other staining, then after 1-1.5 months, overgrown roots will be noticeable. If they are light, then you can do nothing, anyway the look will be original. And with dark roots, a contrast will be noticeable, so the help of a master is required.

1. A brightening agent is applied to the basal part without affecting the rest of the curls.
2. The master selects the paint so that the contract is not very visible.
3. Often, the procedure is combined with tinting, if highlighting was performed on colored strands.

Why is it necessary to perform a root rather than a secondary full?

If you do not make a correction, and highlight the curls a second time over the entire length, then the opposite effect is expected:
