Gray hair is notoriously coarse, which makes it difficult for some root cover-ups to fully disguise. L'Oreal Paris Root Cover Up, $10.99, was designed to specifically targets gray hair and makes them invisible. Enough said?
For less than seven dollars, Dippity Do Colorblend Root Touch Up, $6.99, is a great daily option for covering grays until your next salon visit. Coming in two shades that adapt to most light or dark hair colors, the pressed powder formula is housed in an adorable little pod with a brush applicator. Simply sweep on color where you want it and be wowed by the natural results that wash out when you shampoo.
If you like your products all-inclusive, try Ardell Touch of Color, $5.99, and forget needing a separate brush applicator. This simple-to-use brush with built-in temporary hair color is great for stashing in your purse or gym bag to cover any errant strands that show up unannounced.
If your next salon appointment is days away and your natural color is coming through or you are starting to see some grays, try Cover Story Temporary Root Concealer, $15. This buildable aerosol formula allows you to achieve the perfect level of coverage from a hint of color to totally opaque. While this formula needs a minute or two to dry, it doesn't transfer to your skin, scalp or clothing and lasts until you wash it away.
If you are new to dyeing your hair or recently started seeing some grey strands, this is one of the simplest products to use between colorings. Bumble and Bumble Bb. Color Stick, $26, takes the guess work out of covering up stubborn grays as well as blending your dyed strands to your natural color. Short, even strokes of this twist up color crayon will give you even coverage that lasts until your next shampoo. Even better, there is no tacky feel or waiting for the product to dry.
