Visible hair roots during my hair coloring: what to do?

Hair coloring is great when you leave the salon. You feel beautiful, strong, almost imagining yourself on the red carpet... But the dream fades little by little... After about 2 months, when you notice your hair roots growing out, the coloring now turns into a nightmare. What's more, to top it all off, if you have white hair, it's a disaster!

You quickly get the impression that everyone is looking at your hair roots, and no longer at the beautiful color you were once so proud of. You then feel uncomfortable. And let's not hide it, maintaining a hair color takes time and costs money.

Rest assured, you are not alone. And hair product brands have thought of you. So what are the tricks to camouflage all that?

Hair root sprays

"Hair Make Up!" root touch-up sprays by Subtil

The pioneer in temporary coloring spray is none other than the "Hair Make Up!" by Subtil. Application is super simple, it's a bit like dry shampoo: shake and spray from 20 cm away from your hair while moving the spray. Let it dry for 1 minute and you're good to go! The result is light and natural. Resists even humidity and lasts until the next shampoo!

The product is available in 4 shades: Light blonde, dark blonde, light brown, dark brown.

"Perfect Match" root corrector spray by Keratherapy

The "Perfect Match" by Keratherapy is ideal for gray or white roots. Coverage is instant! Application is always the same.

The product is available in 5 shades: Blonde, light brown, medium to dark brown, black and auburn.

"Hair Touch Up" root corrector spray by L'Oréal Professionnel

The latest, the "Hair Touch Up" by L'Oréal Professionnel is currently reserved for hairdressers and their clients. New: Micro-diffusion for more precision. Ideal for regrowth up to 1.5cm and up to 20 possible applications.

Available in 6 shades: Dark blonde, blonde, brown, mahogany brown, dark brown and black.

Hair makeup or coloring

There are special root touch-up pens. No possibility of going over as you actually color your hair in the necessary areas.

L'action Paris offers touch-up sticks in 6 shades to match your color as closely as possible.

For hair mascara, you can opt for K for Karité which offers 4 tone-on-tone shades (blonde, medium brown, dark brown, black). A little extra, this mascara is organic and Ecocert certified.

But when you don't have the necessary equipment, you can resort to a quick fix and use your own makeup. If you are blonde with dark roots, you can apply beige eyeshadow. For brunettes or dark-haired individuals, you can use a little brown or black mascara. However, be careful with clumps!

"Root" kits for hair

There are coloring kits specially designed for root touch-ups. In just 10 minutes of waiting time, you double the duration of your color. These are often hair dyes found in supermarkets and can be practical for temporary fixes between two colorings.

Hairstyles to camouflage hair roots

100% natural method: hairstyles to hide the root effect. This effect is often concentrated on either side of your part, or at least that's where it's most visible. Don't hesitate to tie your hair back, in a ponytail or a bun. The ideal, if you have a good knack for it, is the crown braid. Many tutorials exist on the internet or Youtube, whether for short or long hair.
