Root Tap at Faking It softens the line between your natural root and lightened lengths for a seamless, low-maintenance grow-out. We apply a tailored demi-permanent shade at the root and gently blend it through the first few centimetres to blur regrowth and refresh tone. Expect a natural shadow that enhances brightness and adds polish without losing your lightness.
