Root stretching & contouring is on the up and up so we thought we’d give you a quick explanation so that you’re not left in the dark.
Root stretching is a technique where one blends out the natural root color. Why? Well, this gets rid of any obvious regrowth. Months later, the colouration looks natural and blended. First we paint on the color as in a normal root touch up and then we weave out sections of the hair like balayage to “stretch” the root colouration around a quarter or even halfway down the hair.
Contour coloring or “contourage” works in a similar way to the make-up technique. It’s a technique specifically used to accentuate or soften facial features. We use darker tones to add depth to areas that you want to appear softer or more drawn in, and lighter shades to enhance other areas or make them appear brighter. Your hair surrounds your face and can make a huge difference to how you see your face shape.
The most balanced face shape is oval, so the concept of colour contouring is designed to balance out a variety of face shapes to make them appear more oval. Come in and see us and we can create a colour formula just for you.
