Key takeaways
- A good colour appointment starts with a consultation about your current colour, hair condition and the look you want.
- Global colour gives one even shade; highlights add lighter strands for dimension; a root touch-up refreshes new growth at the roots.
- Tell your stylist about previous colour, bleach, henna or smoothing — it affects the recommended process.
- At Be U Smart Salon, a root touch-up is currently ₹999 (anniversary offer, limited time).
Global colour, highlights or root touch-up?
Global colour
One even shade from roots to ends. Popular for covering greys or changing your overall colour.
Highlights
Lighter strands placed through the hair for dimension and brightness, without colouring everything.
Root touch-up
Colour applied to new growth at the roots so your existing colour looks fresh between full appointments.
Colour refresh
A top-up for faded colour. Your stylist will suggest the best option for your hair.
How do I choose the right hair colour?
Start with your goal: covering greys, a subtle change, or something brighter. Reference photos help your stylist understand the tone, brightness and placement you like. They will then explain what is realistic for your hair — the final result always depends on your starting colour and colour history.
Think about maintenance too. A shade close to your natural colour usually grows out more softly, while a bigger change may need more regular touch-ups.
Why does my hair history matter?
Previous colour, bleaching, henna, smoothing or other chemical treatments all change how hair takes new colour. Sharing your hair history helps your stylist choose the right process and set realistic expectations. Be honest, even about box dye or henna — it makes a big difference.
What should I ask at my colour consultation?
- Which shade and technique do you recommend for me?
- What result is realistic for my hair today?
- How often will I need a root touch-up?
- Which shampoo and conditioner protect coloured hair?
- Is a hair spa a good idea between colour appointments?
How do I keep my colour looking fresh?
Follow the aftercare your stylist recommends. Common advice includes using colour-friendly shampoo and conditioner, being gentle with heat styling and booking touch-ups before new growth at the roots becomes very visible. Conditioning treatments such as a hair spa can help colour-treated hair feel softer — ask your stylist what suits your hair.
