If it’s been more than 8 weeks since your last bleach appointment—or your root regrowth exceeds 2cm—our Bleach Root Regrowth (9+ Weeks) service is here to help restore a flawless blonde. This extended regrowth service is tailored to safely and evenly lift longer roots while blending seamlessly into your existing blonde tone.

Who is this service for?

This service is ideal for clients who’ve had a Full Head Bleach in the past but have left it a little longer than recommended. Whether life got busy or you're returning after a break, we’ll assess your current colour and hair condition to determine the safest way to achieve an even, clean lift from root to tip.

Longer regrowth requires more care, technique, and precision—especially to avoid colour banding or patchiness. That’s why this service includes more processing time and may involve pre-softening or double lifting, depending on your hair's needs.

More information

How long does the appointment take?

Expect your visit to take approximately 4 to 5 hours. This includes a detailed consultation, lightening the longer root area, toner application, a restorative treatment, and a full professional blow-dry.

What is the process?

Your stylist will begin with a thorough consultation and strand test (if needed). The bleach is applied strategically in stages to ensure even lift from the natural root through to the previously lightened mid-lengths. Once the hair reaches the desired level, we apply a custom toner to achieve your preferred blonde shade—whether that's icy, creamy, or neutral. A bond-building treatment is included to support hair strength and elasticity.

How often should I book?

We recommend booking every 4 to 6 weeks following this appointment to prevent banding and maintain a seamless blonde finish moving forward. This keeps your blonde healthy, bright, and far easier to manage.

At The Vintage Avenue, we specialise in precise colour work using premium lighteners and tailored aftercare to ensure beautiful results, even after longer gaps between visits.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a patch test?
Yes. A patch test is required at least 48 hours before any bleach or toner service—even if you've had colour previously. This is essential for your safety and comfort.
Why is this service different from standard root regrowth?
When roots are longer than 2cm or 8+ weeks grown out, the heat from the scalp no longer assists in the lifting process. This means extra time, product, and care are needed to achieve even results.
Will my hair be damaged?
We always use bond-building and protective treatments to minimise stress on the hair. Your stylist will discuss realistic expectations based on your current condition.
Can I return to regular maintenance after this?
Absolutely. Once your regrowth is evened out, you can return to regular root touch-up appointments every 4–6 weeks for easier maintenance.
Will a toner be required?
Yes. Toner is an essential step in achieving your finished blonde tone and is always included as part of this service.
