Wondering if your roots get dyed in a balayage? You’re not alone. It’s one of the most common questions we get at Salon No. 100. The answer is a little more nuanced than a simple yes or no—but we’re here to explain.
Balayage is designed to look soft, blended, and natural. That means the roots are often left alone, allowing for a smooth grow-out with minimal maintenance. If you’re picturing bright blonde all the way to the scalp, that’s a different colour service entirely. Balayage is meant to mimic the way hair naturally lightens in the sun—with no harsh lines and no obvious regrowth.
That said, if you want your roots darker, softer, or more blended, your Solihull Hairdresser might suggest adding a root melt or root stretch to the service. It’s all part of customising your colour to suit your hair and your routine.
