Looking For Recommendations Re Temporary Cover up of Grey Roots

Crisso — Thu, 12 Mar 2015 23:14:28 GMT

I don't like to cover my grey hair at home as I much prefer a salon look. However, my hair grows so fast and it is expensive to have the grey covered every 4-6 weeks. I am looking for a product that nicely, but temporarily, covers grey roots so that I can extend the time between visits. I can use WOW (offered on the Q), but that is only good for roots that are barely showing....

For many years, I have been using Roux Tween Time Temp. Hair Color Stick, just wet the tip and apply. Get it at Sally's, ebay or amazon. One stick lasts me for years.

Thanks. I had not heard of this. Does it flatten down the hair?

What brush do you use with this? The one that comes with is great for the part but after 6 weeks, I need something bigger, I think?

Yes, I use the brush that came with the kit. I primarily use the product on the top and sides of my hair, just sectioning off pieces all around. For me, the brush works fine. It's so easy, and my hair doesn't feel dirty.

I use the Rita Hazen root spray. Not cheap but it works and easy to use.

I use the blonde shade of Bumble and Bumble dry shampoo. Warning: the blonde shade is really a brown color.

I use Clairol Root Touch Up and it works for about 3 more weeks. Easy and blends well, all my friends use it also!!

I second the Rita Hazan spray. I get major gray roots and I can do a few quick sprays and be good to go.

This stuff is fantastic: IT&LY Hair mask comes in many colors. its a tinted deep deep conditioner. leave it in your hair for 20 minutes it will last a week or more. looks very natural and very moisterizing

you can get it on amazon.com and sleekhair.com and a few other places

I second that! I have used it for years. It covers well and is washed out at 3 wks. just in time for my salon root job.

I have seen this product, and have read recommendations. I have a concern. Does this spray go all over? Is it easy to get it on just the outgrowth? I have white roots, and red outgrowth, LOL!

ETA

I meant does it go all over, as in miss the root area and get all over the place/

I used that and I like it as well, as for myself i am trying to grow out my natural hair and trying to resist those permanent dyes.

The root touch up is the same as regular hair color just in different packaging/smaller portions

I use L'Oreal's Root Rescue. Exact same idea as Clairol and works perfectly at the mid point between appointments. Blends seamlessly with my salon color.

I use this as well. I have highlights which obviously doesnt address all the grey issues. I spray this root spray anywhere I see gray. Fantastic product!

I love Clairol Root Touch Up - I've tried other brands and they don't work as well.

It seems to go where you direct it. It's all about your aim. HA

I like Color Wow powder, it's here and also at Ulta-I have found it works best on my hair compared to a spray product.
