If you color your hair, you know this struggle WAY too well. Just a few weeks after coloring your hair, those roots start to come out. And let’s face it, we all don’t have the luxury to see our colorist every couple of weeks! So to help you buy time between salon visits, I’m letting you guys in on my personal secret for hiding my grays! Keep on reading for the drugstore product I swear by to extend the life of my hair color!

THE MAGIC PRODUCT

There are tons of different kinds of root cover up products on the market from powders, to color sticks and pens, to sprays to permanent home dye kits. I’ve tried a lot of these and have paid up to $50 dollars for some of them, but I’m here to tell you my favorite one is under $10 bucks! It’s the L’ Oréal Magic Root Cover Up and you can buy it on Amazon!  I love it because it not only helps me cover up my grays, but it gives my hair texture and body, much like a texturizing spray would. I use the dark brown shade because my hair is naturally brown and I feel this looks most natural. It also comes in 7 other shades.

HOW TO USE IT

1. Pick out a shade that is closest to your hair color.
2. Hold the spray 2-3 inches from your hairline and spray evenly where needed.
3. Wait for it to dry before combing it through to blend with the rest of your hair

This is one of my holy-grail hair maintenance products that I’ve been using for years (read more about my favorite hair products here!) Though I wish I could see my hair colorist every few weeks to maintain my grays, this product definitely saves me in between appointments! What products do you guys use to cover your roots?? Let me know in the comments below.
