How to Hide Gray Roots at Home Between Salon Appointments

Most people start noticing their gray roots appearing about 4-6 weeks after coloring them. The good news is that you don’t need to constantly visit the hair salon to keep them covered. You can easily do at-home touch-ups in a few different ways. It’s all about using the right products and remedies.

Concealer sprays are very similar to dry shampoos. The only difference is that these sprays are specifically designed to add color to your roots and are perfect for covering roots between salon appointments. They are a quick and affordable solution and extremely easy to use. Plus, they can be found in your local drugstore. You can also find a natural remedy for gray roots in your pantry. Apple cider vinegar, for example, can do wonders when applied directly or mixed with your shampoo. Other products you can try out are black tea or curry to darken or tint your gray strands. Remember to use a brush to help you control the process.

Root touch-up powder provides even better coverage and can give your hair a thicker appearance. However, if you don't feel like investing in such products, you can easily reach for your eyeshadow palettes or brow powders. They'll give you similar results as long as you don't apply any shimmery shades by mistake.

If you feel confident and experienced enough, you can also dye your roots with standard permanent dye at home. It will save you some money on hair salon visits. Do research on the best hair dye brands and choose one that will be gentle on your scalp but will also give you a rich color.
