Hide Those Roots!

It's no secret that I went grey really, really early in life. And it's also no secret that my roots start showing within a couple of weeks of getting them dyed. So I rely heavily on products to help hide those roots. I've blogged about this before, but have some new products I love and swear by. Check out these different options (available in your shade too):




ColorWow Root Cover Up--This professional powder compound was formulated to adhere to hair without being sticky, oily and without looking dry. It's easy to use and is perfect for along the hairline and small areas of regrowth. I got mine at Ulta for around $35. 
  • my fave for small areas, like around the hairline




ROOT VANISH by Kazumi--A uniquely lightweight & gel-based "edibly natural" instant hair colorant that makes Root & Greys vanish, without the mess & dullness of other methods. Kazumi is a Master Colorist at the salon where Zooey frequents, so I had to try it. You click the "pen" and place the brush with colorant onto roots. Then comb it into and allow to dry. I like using a hair dryer to dry it faster.
PR sample $48 @ Kiwabi.com or Amazon.com.
  • my fave for long lasting, when I want to make sure it lasts



Focus Hair Building Fibers--A unique complex of pure keratin protein. Charged with static electricity, these microscopic fibers blend and bond securely with existing hair to produce dramatic density and volume and provide undetectable all-day coverage to thinning and balding areas. Completely natural, safe and effective, Focus Hair Fibers will not fade, even under direct sunlight. Focus is compatible with all hair loss treatments and safe to use after hair transplants. Focus fibers can withstand rain, wind and sweat, and yet can be washed out easily with any shampoo. While I do not have thinning hair, I love using this along my part for covering my roots. PR sample $24.95 available here
  • my fave for thickening thinning hair and for those natural blondes but dye their hair dark




Salon in a Bottle--Root concealer spray that covers gray roots in seconds. Easy application with a precision control airbrush nozzle for custom coverage, Nutrient-rich formula with Vitamin E, Chamomile, and Green Tea Extracts. I love how easy it is to use--just spray on the areas that need it, similar to hair spray. This is awesome if you want to cover a large area of greys super fast...and it lasts. PR sample  www.saloninabottle.com $24 per bottle
  • my fave for covering a large area quickly

  1. Thanks for sharing! I really love #1 and #2, they sound amazing. I'd love to try them. I don't have any gray hairs but I do dye my hair so of course my roots grow out. If I tried to dye my whole head every time my roots started to show, my hair would be extremely damaged (if I even had any left, LOL). I definitely want to try some of these!

    Hustla, baby.

  10. How neat... never seen anything like this!

  11. I hadn't heard of these products. I was very fortunate that I didn't see any gray hairs until after I turned forty. Right now, Natural Instinct works pretty well to cover the grays I have. But when things get worse, I'll definitely check out some of these.

  12. You know I thought about getting something like this a long time ago and then forgot :-) Thanks for the reminder especially when you are due for a touch up!

  14. Thanks for sharing! I'm not grey (yet) but my roots do grow in really quickly. Unfortunately since I dye my hair red it's really hard to find root concealers to match my hair, but those Focus Fibers look like they might work!!

  15. The Kazumi ones sound great. I've been getting grey hairs since high school, so I colour my hair a lot to cover them. Sigh....

  16. Oh, this is super useful, this post, I mean! I have a friend from school, that with only 32 is now really going grey fast, and she is really obsessed about it. I can say it changed her life. So I will recommend this post to her and also, who knows? I will keep this in mind as well. We're all going to get grey one day, it's just a matter of "when". But you know what? Also for people who change hair color, say, from brunette to red. As I said, a great post! denisesplanet com

  17. I totally started going gray early (thanks Mom) so I love these options. I haven't heard of them before so going to check them out. Thanks!

  18. I saw that WOW on QVC and everyone was raving about it! I have grays too, so this will help inbetween touch ups. Didn't know they sold it at ULTA. It's probably so much cheaper. Thanks for the tip.

  20. How long does the cover last, compared to a good ol' hair color? I'd prefer just coloring my hair or touching the roots "the normal way" whenever needed than using powders or sprays, but I guess this stuff comes in handy when you have some event or some sort of emergency.

  21. I found my what I think was my first gray hair recently and it was rough hahhaha! I feel much better now knowing I'm not the only youngster going grey early :) I'll have to check into some of these products for sure hehe.

  35. I love this post. I'm not gray but I have several stark white hairs on the top of my head most noticeable at my part. These would be great to try in b/w salon visits! I saw an infomercial of the WOW powder but I'm happy to know they sell it at Ulta. Perhaps I'll try it out there. Thanks for writing this up!
