I did a search yesterday to find out how to touch-up my roots; it's been just 4 weeks since my stylist colored my hair and added highlights. After searching MANY sites, I decided that I'd just need to follow my instincts and see what happened (knowing that if it looked terrible, I could just color over the whole thing). Until the highlighting, I'd been coloring my own hair, so I already had coloring tools from Sally Beauty Supply. I just had to buy a bottle of color that matched (pretty well) the base color my stylist had used. I mixed up 1/2 oz. of color with 1/2 oz. of creme developer, added 5 drops of Gray Magic (it has always seemed to help cover the gray), and used my applicator bottle to squirt the mixture directly to my scalp. Then I used my (gloved) fingers to gently massage against the scalp, spreading the mixture through my roots. Left the color on for my usual time (25 minutes for me), washed and conditioned, and that was it. Looks great! The roots blended just fine, and the highlights don't look as if they begin too far down on the hair. I don't know how long this technique will work till I have to get the highlights redone, but for now, it's great.

It's usually not recommended with the do-it-at-home kits... It's healthier to do roots-touch ups when needed or get worked on at the salon. However, I've done it and it's fine if you're not looking for perfectly even results.
