Here’s How to Instantly Conceal Grown-Out Roots in Between Salon Appointments

Regardless of whether you’re a balayage blonde, coppery brunette, or candy apple red, if you color your hair, you know that dealing with the inevitable root grow-out when you’re in between appointments at the salon can be a more than just a slight inconvenience. If you’re like me and tend to let your highlights grow out inches before buckling down and scheduling an appointment, you know that finding a fool-proof solution for concealing (or at least, softening) dark roots isn’t exactly easy. I’ve often relied on white-hued dry shampoo to help blend the line of demarcation between my naturally brunette mane and my bleached blonde strands, but once I discovered the root concealers for hair actually exist, I will never go back my little (and, not very effective) DIY hack.

Pushing back your pricey appointment with your colorist just became a bit less painful thanks to these game-changing touch-up concealers. While they’re certainly not a permanent fix, and will clearly wash off when you shampoo, they’re great when you’re in a pinch before a big event or simply in between pay checks. If you struggle with grey hairs cropping up, these full-coverage hair products work to disguise them like a magic. Whether you prefer a quick spray-on formula or precise powder option, we’ve selected a few of our favorite transfer-proof and long-lasting root concealers to get you by when you’re in between salon appointments.
