The regrowth is real lads.

I last had my colour done in January having originally planned to get it touched up in March (ha!) so needless to say I have some serious root action going on. I'm far from the only one with this problem, and with the salons closed for at least another month what are we to do? I've been warned on pain of death by my stylist not to go anywhere near box dye so I've been looking into alternatives that won't drive her crazy when I do eventually rock back in to her. If like me you're being personally victimised by your roots here are three temporary products you can use to deal with them during lock down.

1) L'Oreal Magic Retouch

2)Batiste Hint of Colour Dry Shampoo

3)John Frieda Root Blur

The pressed powder with angled fibre brush allows for precise root concealer application and flawless coverage and comes in a compact with a mirror. As easy to apply as eyeshadow, Root Blur comes in five options, each compact with two shades to create a more natural multi-toned finish. Ranging from very light blonde to black there's a Root Blur to suit all hair tones.
