Regrowth color at the root only, matched to your existing shade. Best every four to six weeks.
Prep before your appointment
- Come in with your hair dry and unwashed, product buildup is fine, squeaky-clean hair actually makes application trickier
- If you color at home between appointments, let us know at your consultation so we can work with what's already on your hair
- Bring a photo or two of your current color if you've had it done elsewhere, that gives us a clear starting point
- Plan to skip the gym or anywhere with heavy heat and humidity right after, let the color settle before you sweat it out
Aftercare
- Hold off on washing for at least 48 hours so the color has time to fully set
- Use a shampoo made for color-treated hair, especially through the warmer months when sun and sweat are working against you
- A little SPF hair mist or a hat goes a long way if you're spending time outside, UV exposure is one of the fastest ways to fade fresh color
- Touch-up timing varies by how fast your hair grows and how much contrast you're working with, we're happy to help you figure out a schedule that makes sense

Stylists for Root Touch-Up
Root growth is inevitable, but it doesn't have to be obvious. A root touch-up at Curl Interrupted zeroes in on new growth, matching and blending color back into the rest of your hair so the line between old and new disappears. The appointment is about 75 minutes start to finish, and starting at $65 it's one of the more straightforward ways to keep a color investment looking current without rebuilding the whole thing.
If you're overdue and worried the gap is too wide, bring that up during booking. Waco summers are hard on color in general, heat, sweat, and sun can shift tone faster than expected, so your stylist may have thoughts on a toner or small adjustment that keeps things looking cohesive until your next visit.
Good to know
Can I get a root touch-up if my roots have grown out a lot?
It depends on how much growth there is. A standard root touch-up works best with moderate regrowth, typically up to an inch or so. If you've gone longer between appointments, your stylist will take a look and let you know if a different approach makes more sense before any color is applied.
How much does a root touch-up cost at Curl Interrupted?
Root touch-ups start at $65 at Curl Interrupted Salon & Spa in Waco. Final pricing can vary depending on hair length or density, so it's always a good idea to confirm at booking.
How often should I get a root touch-up?
Most guests come in every 4 to 6 weeks, though it depends on how fast your hair grows and how much contrast there is between your natural color and your color. Your stylist can help you figure out a schedule that balances maintenance with the health of your hair.
