A tint back is a hair dressing term. Used when hair has been coloured for too long or dyed poorly, a tint-back is a service in which colour, bleach, and pigments are applied to the hair in order to return it to its natural shade.

If you’ need to go lighter then bleach, a softer color, and toner might be used. If you’re going darker, a filler is often applied before the hair dye in order to restore pigment and ensure that the color remains uniform.

Getting a tint-back is very popular with people who want a break years of highlighting, lowlighting, or any other coloring services as they help to grown out the hair without dying it, making the hair healthier and stronger.
