Beyond the Swatch: Why Hot Roots Happen & How to Prevent Them
Are your formulas still living by the swatch — and leaving your clients with hot roots instead of the perfect tone?
In this honest, no‑fluff episode, I share a real forum post gone wrong and break down exactly what went wrong — and how you can avoid it behind the chair.
🎹 What you'll learn:
✨ Why a swatch book is not your hair color result
💡 How the natural hair base (pigment + gray + texture) contributes to your outcome
👀 Why a level‑8 red on a natural level‑5 = trouble
🎯 What to ask in your consultation so you’re not winging it
📉 How to shift from “match the swatch” to “customize the formula”
This is a must‑listen if you're done with surprise warmth, hot roots, or formulas that “should’ve worked” but didn’t.
