4 genius ways to touch up your roots without going to the salon

a:1:{i:0;s:2259:"The Reviewer: Sadiya Ansari, Associate Editor
The Promise: To cover up roots between colorings and restyle limp, second-day hair with no white residue.
The Verdict:  Dry shampoo that won’t make me look like I have mrs treys then I already do? Live-changing. Compared with other brands I've tried, this worked really well to absorb oil.
Bottom Line: The black dry-shampoo can transfer onto your hands (or onto the collar of a white blouse) if you run your fingers through your hair throughout the day. So wither avoid wearing white clothes or stop plaing with your hair

AG Hair Jet Set Black Dry Shampoo, $28.



The Reviewer: Christina Vardanis, Executive Editor
The Promise: Temporary root touch up that’s ammonia and peroxide free.
The Verdict:  Shake and spray away greys with this lightweight root touch up. It worked especially well when my roots were just growing in I loved how the coverage was seamless.
Bottom Line: This was great for small touch ups but when my roots were longer (and I needed more coverage), it felt a bit sticky.


The Reviewer: Kate Gertner, Associate Style Editor
The Promise: Weekly treatment that takes hair one shade darker and evens out tone in just 5 minutes
The Verdict: If you are looking to add richness and depth to your colour, this is for you. Massage into clean wet hair, comb through and set your timer. I like to clip my hair up while the product sets to keep the treatment concentrated and contained. Then rinse and Voila
Bottom Line:
Doesn’t disappoint, but better to think of this as a darkening gloss rather than touch up for your roots.


The Reviewer: Vanessa Taylor, Style Director
The Promise: Instantly covers up roots and blends greys away until your next shampoo.
The Verdict: This compact (that looks like an eyeshadow palette) requires no expertise—the small brush applicator applies a water-resistant powder that mutes stray grey hairs. For a deep side part, I liked using a larger applicator like a contour brush to cover more hair.
Bottom Line
This product is for great for small areas like temples or along your part but not for major colour re-growth. The pressed powder easily blends into your natural hair, leaving no residue and tones down the silver-y bits.";}
