How to Cover Hair Roots with Sanotint Hair Colour

Introduction

Are your roots beginning to show between hair colouring sessions? Root regrowth is one of the most common reasons for touching up hair colour, particularly when natural hair or grey strands begin to become visible.

Sanotint hair colour offers a convenient way to refresh visible roots and maintain an even, natural-looking colour without necessarily colouring the full lengths of the hair every time.

In this guide, we explain how to touch up your roots with Sanotint, how to choose the appropriate shade and some useful tips for achieving an even result.

What Is Sanotint Hair Colour?

Sanotint is a well-known hair colour range formulated with carefully selected ingredients and plant extracts. The range includes golden millet extract together with other conditioning ingredients designed to help care for the hair during the colouring process.

Sanotint is particularly popular with customers looking for an alternative to many conventional permanent hair colour products.

With a broad selection of natural, brown, blonde, red and fashion shades available, Sanotint can be used for both complete hair colouring and regular root maintenance.

How to Cover Roots with Sanotint Hair Colour

Step 1: Choose the Correct Sanotint Shade

Choosing the right shade is particularly important when colouring only the roots. Ideally, your new root colour should blend naturally into the previously coloured lengths.

If you already use Sanotint, using the same shade normally provides the most consistent result. If you are changing shades or are unsure which colour is suitable, seek professional advice before colouring.

Remember that the final colour can vary according to your natural hair colour, percentage of grey hair, previous colouring and condition of the hair.

Step 2: Prepare for Colouring

Always read the instructions supplied with your Sanotint product before starting.

Carry out the required allergy alert test before every colouring application, following the manufacturer's instructions, even if you have previously used hair colour without experiencing a reaction.

Protect your clothing and surrounding surfaces and wear suitable disposable gloves while preparing and applying the colour.

Step 3: Divide the Hair into Sections

Divide the hair into manageable sections using clips. Good sectioning makes it much easier to see the regrowth and apply the colour accurately.

Pay particular attention to areas where regrowth tends to be most noticeable, including the hairline, temples and parting.

Step 4: Apply Sanotint to the Regrowth

Apply the prepared Sanotint colour carefully to the new root growth, working systematically through each section.

Try to concentrate the product on the regrowth rather than repeatedly applying permanent colour over previously coloured lengths unnecessarily.

Make sure the roots are evenly saturated and always follow the application method and processing time specified in the Sanotint instructions.

Step 5: Rinse and Condition

Once the recommended processing time has been completed, rinse the hair thoroughly according to the manufacturer's directions.

Use the appropriate after-colour conditioning treatment supplied or recommended for your Sanotint product. This helps leave freshly coloured hair feeling conditioned and manageable.

Covering Grey Roots with Sanotint

Grey and white regrowth can be particularly noticeable around the temples, parting and front hairline.

For good grey coverage, choosing the correct shade and ensuring thorough, even application to resistant areas is important. Do not automatically extend the processing time beyond the manufacturer's instructions in an attempt to improve coverage.

If you have a high percentage of resistant grey hair or are unsure which Sanotint shade to use, professional colour advice can help you achieve a more predictable result.

Tips for Better Root Colour Results

• Always perform the manufacturer's required allergy alert test before colouring.
• Use the same Sanotint shade as your existing colour when maintaining established colour, where appropriate.
• Apply carefully and evenly to visible regrowth.
• Pay extra attention to the temples, hairline and parting.
• Follow Sanotint's specified mixing ratios and processing times.
• Avoid repeatedly overlapping permanent colour onto previously coloured hair unless instructed.
• Use hair-care products suitable for colour-treated hair to help maintain the appearance and condition of your colour.
• If you are making a significant colour change, have heavily processed hair or are uncertain about the result, consult a professional hairdresser.

Maintain Beautiful Colour Between Full Applications

Regular root touch-ups can help keep your hair colour looking fresh without applying permanent colour throughout the entire hair every time.

With the correct Sanotint shade, careful application and proper after-colour care, visible regrowth can be blended into your existing colour for a more even and polished appearance.

Whether you're covering natural regrowth or maintaining grey coverage, always follow the instructions supplied with your Sanotint hair colour and perform the required allergy alert test before every application.
