A root melt is essentially creating a transitional color from a clients roots into another color. For example I create most root melts to help achieve a softer regrowth for my clients who would normally have highlights. After washing out all my clients highlights(foils), I would apply a root melt using a semi permanent color ( i like redken shades or colornace) at my clients roots while they are in the shampoo bowl. The root application can be a tap (very little) or a longer drag (1-4 inches) depending on how much depth or how big you want your transition to be. The color is left on for 5-25 minutes depending on brand and opacity that you are looking for. I can link another video of how I do a root melt if you are interested? Let me know if you have any other questions.
Hey! If the salon you work at uses Matrix, I would reach out their distributor to get information on their color line and the educational color classes they offer. There are so many color lines that offer free and/or online education to help you learn their color line. Being an assistant for at least a year minimum with a stylist who is well trained in color services is the best advise I can give. In cosmo school you only lean so much. Having hands on experience is key! If you are not a stylist and are just looking to box dye your hair, I would advise against that. Sometimes at home box dye can really damage and over process your hair if its not applied and used correctly. If you have access to a whole sale supplier to buy the color, most of them will carry the swatch color rings of each color line. You can always have someone assist you in the store who has knowledge in the color line you are interested in. The sales rep can help with color matching/recommendations. And most color lines with have package options to sell to a stylist. When using a sale rep for a specific color line they can help guide and recommend their "top used/most used" colors within their line if you are just starting to build up your color inventory. I hope this helps! Thanks so much for watching.
