Getting a fresh new hair colour is one of the best feelings ever. A shiny new shade is an instant confidence boost and a major mood lifter. But unfortunately for anyone who colours their hair, nothing lasts forever; before you know it, your roots will be showing again. Learning how to cover grey hair on your own is a major life skill and one that will save you both time and money.
Why You Should Use A Root Touch-Up Spray For Grey Roots
Unfortunately, it’s next to impossible to dye your hair the second you spot new growth. No one wants to live with grey roots for days or even weeks before there’s time for a total touch-up. When root regrowth appears and it’s impossible for you to turn to hair dye, there’s an easy fix that can help with any hair colour. A temporary root touch-up spray is best for hiding grey hairs at home. These root cover-up sprays are temporary, which means they will be gone as soon as you wash your hair.

Thankfully, root touch-up sprays come in a wide variety of beautiful shades, so finding one that closely matches your own hair colour is easier than ever.
