What Is a Root Stretch?

Root stretching is a colouring technique that blends out your natural hair colour giving you that effortlessly cool, no-stress, beautifully natural balayage that creates a gorgeous gradient style.

What's the difference between balayage and root stretch?

The main difference is in the technique in which balayage highlights are created using strokes of colours carefully placed in the right places in your hair from end to root, while root drag works its way downwards from your root to ends.

Is it easy to do a root stretch?

It's super-easy to maintain and looks amazing even if you don't have time to style it – basically, you take care of being kind to your hair (including booking yourself in for regular trims) and your hair will do the rest. It doesn't matter what your style is, as root stretching is incredibly versatile.
