@hairbyalex20: Stop getting ROOT MELTS and ROOT TAPS confused because they create completely different blondes. She didn’t want darker roots. She didn’t want a shadow root. And she definitely didn’t want to stop feeling blonde. She just hated how harsh and “lightbulb blonde” her highlights looked against her natural base in certain lighting. So instead of creating depth with a root melt, I softly blurred the contrast with a ROOT TAP to diffuse where the blonde met her natural colour. Same blonde. Completely different finish. A root melt creates more depth and a more “grown out” blonde. A root tap simply softens and blurs without taking away the brightness. #blonde #roottap #haircolortrends #colourcorrection

A root tap isn’t the same as a root melt 🤍 This technique keeps the blonde bright while softening harsh contrast and regrowth rather than making the hair feel darker. The placement + toner choice changes EVERYTHING ✨ I might do a full breakdown because clearly a lot of people have been getting these techniques confused 👀

But how did your blonde get moved up? You use blonde first right and then you did the root tap and toner.

I’m confused. It looks like highlights were done. Is the root tap the process you do after you brought her highlihts back to her roots?

ALL the comments asking for the formula 👀 I don’t share formulas. But the good news is, the formula isn’t the important part here anyway. The real difference is the placement and technique behind it. That’s why two colourists can use the same formula and create completely different results.

Is she ok that her hair color is not the same from base to end? It shows two different shades of blonde… wouldn’t you want to see a consistent color from root to tip and also same cool or warm color tone not a mixture of both???
