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.
If you already own a Temptu airbrush device, you're going to flip for the new Temptu Airpod Airbrush 24-Hour Root Touch Up and Hair Color, $35. And if you don't have a Temptu, this might be reason enough to pick one up. The hand-held airbrush machine is shockingly easy to use -- all you do is spritz the color on your roots, and they disappear. As an added bonus, you can airbrush your brows (game changer) and swap in airbrush makeup pods when you're done hiding your grays.
John Frieda Root Blur Concealer, $19.99, looks like an eyeshadow palette, and that's pretty much exactly how you use it. It comes with two shades of mineral powder you blend to create your perfect color, and the powder magically adheres only to hair for a very natural look sans gray.
If you're constantly traveling, you're probably missing appointments with your colorist. Oribe Airbrush Root Touch-Up Spray, $32, is super easy to use (just point and spray), comes in a sleek little tube and has the signature Oribe scent (so you don't have to pack perfume either).
