How to get shadow roots

Shadow root blonde is exactly what it sounds like - a blonde look with darker, more ‘shadowy’ roots. Unlike normal regrowth roots, however, these are deliberately created so that they appear natural and follow the growth of your hair. This means you can feel confident for longer, and don’t need to touch up your look nearly as frequently. The subtle effect also makes going back to your natural colour that much easier, which is perfect if you’re experimenting or if you like to change your look regularly.

The look

This soft balayage look evolves with the natural fall of the hair, complementing individual skin tones and darker roots. It’s ideal for fine to medium textures and medium to long lengths.
 
In salon care treatment

Extend the shine of your new soft balayage shadow root look with our Instant Reinforcing Glow salon care treatment. Using our dedicated Heart of Glass blonde hair line, this treatment will boost strength and softness too, while extending the duration and intensity of your colour.

The look

Blending seamlessly through the hair, this graduated honey blonde look is lighter around the face to highlight the eyes and skin tones, gradually deepening towards the back. Placement can be bright and bold or subtle and discrete, reflecting your personality and your hair’s natural tendencies. Perfect for medium length curly or coily hair with medium to thick texture.

 
In salon care treatment

Extend the vitality of your blonde with our Fortifying and Elasticizing Blonde salon care treatment, which is designed to give blonde curls an extra boost of strength, hydration and elasticity. It’s ideal for repairing and reinforcing the hair, while offering thermal and UV protection.

Gently cleanse and clarify both natural and cosmetically treated blonde hair with our dedicated shampoo, which uses Jagua blue extract to balance unwanted tones and gives you the look you’re after.

 

Rich Conditioner

Our dedicated conditioner for blondes provides intense hydration to the hair, fortifying hair fibers with two key active ingredients - the Biacidic bond complex conceived to prevent and recover hair damage and the Baobab extract, our botanical alternative to silicones, which restores hair’s elasticity and makes it easier to comb.
