Any woman periodically needs changes in her life, so changing the image by dyeing or cutting her hair is a great solution. But in order to always look well-groomed and beautiful, dyed hair must be carefully monitored. If you do not have enough time to go to the salon and update the color, read this article and choose for yourself the most convenient way to hide regrown roots.

Tinted Shampoo

Tinted shampoos are popular among women, despite the fact that some of them contain chemicals that adversely affect the condition of the hair. It should be understood that the shampoo is called tinted precisely because it can give a slight shade to the hair for a while, but it will not turn a brunette into a blonde.

The advantages of such funds:

• good brands supply hair with useful substances;
• pigments do not penetrate into the hair structure, they remain only on the surface, so coloring is considered gentle;
• can be used 2-3 times a week;
• the longer it is used, the better the effect after shampoo will be;
• can be used while breastfeeding and during pregnancy;
• sold in a wide range both in a physical store and online.

Their cons:

• the result remains for a short period of time;
• do not dye hair, only give it a slight shade;
• may cause an allergic reaction;
• some brands are not completely washed out of the hair, giving them the wrong color that was expected to be received;
• can dye both skin and clothing if used carelessly.

Popular brands:

• concept;
• Estel;
• Londa;
• Wella;
• Faberlic;
• Irida etc.

1. Before coloring your hair, apply a little shampoo to a thin strand to check the color.
2. Do not rub the product into the skin.
3. After use, apply a balm or mask to your hair, as shampoo dries them.
4. Read the instructions carefully: some shampoos should be applied to wet hair, and some to dry. The result of staining will depend on this.

This method is suitable for everyone, except for those who are intolerant or allergic to some of the elements that make up the shampoo.

This product is definitely not for permanent use, but only an emergency option before a business or important meeting, if your hair needs to be dyed in order to look quite presentable and well-groomed.

Shadows

A more budget option is to use eye shadow to cover overgrown roots. Previously, this method was practiced often, but now only a few know about it. All you need to do is to match the shadows to your hair tone and a brush of medium thickness.

The method itself is very simple, it is suitable if you urgently need to attend some event, but your hair has grown back. Then:

1. Take a brush and apply shadow to clean and dry hair.
2. Paint the roots in this way several times, the excess can be removed with a hairdryer or a napkin.

This method is mainly suitable for brunettes, brown-haired women or fair-haired girls, it will be more difficult for blondes to paint over dark roots. Instead of a brush, you can use your fingers or improvised means. And remember that after the first shampoo, your roots will return in their color again.

Hair powder

Not everyone knows about this method. Therefore, we will analyze one of the most effective and well-known powders in more detail. Back in 2013, Color Wow took care of girls with fast growing roots and created mineral powder for hair, which is able to mask this flaw on the head.

How to use it:

1. It is necessary to apply powder to dry hair with a special brush that comes with the kit.
2. Comb your hair several times.
3. In case of contact with the skin, wipe it with a cream or lotion.

Pros of this powder:

• absolutely safe;
• copes well with painting the roots;
• can paint over gray hair;
• is not washed off with ordinary water;
• economical tool.

• high price.

Keratin fibers

If your hair is constantly oily at the roots and dry throughout, or falls out frequently and grows quickly, you need to use keratin fibers. Sold in a small bottle in powder form and are of great benefit to owners of rare and dyed hair.

You can choose any shade of keratin fiber that matches the color of your hair. It is enough just to apply the powder to the overgrown roots with your hands or a brush and smear it lightly. From above, the remnants can be removed with a regular napkin, and for fixing, use any useful hair spray.

• effective tool, quickly paints over the roots;
• designed for long-term use;
• small price;
• long shelf life;

• if you apply more than usual to the hair, you can notice the “effect of unwashed hair”.

Hair concealer

Hair concealer is not so common in the fight against overgrown roots, but it is quite effective. What does that require:

1. Match the concealer to your hair color.
2. Spray it at a distance of 20-30 cm from the roots.

This tool not only does not stain everything around, it gives the roots a beautiful shade and volume. It cannot be washed off with ordinary water, only with shampoo.

Waterproof mascara

Mascara is only suitable for dark hair, it is clear why. This method should be used if you really need to go somewhere quickly, and there is no time for other methods.

Apply mascara to the parting. Be sure to wait until it dries completely. Try not to leave mascara on your hair for a long time, as it will be very difficult to get rid of it later.

Tinted hair pomade

This hair pomade is now used not only by girls, but also by men. Good for hair styling and root coloring.

• makes hair light and airy;
• gives volume to the hair;
• contains only wax, a tint component and minerals, sometimes various oils.

• Because of the wax, it does not completely dry on the hair.

With the help of tinted lipstick, you can give your hair any shade and make it look natural. You just need to apply lipstick on regrown roots, smear, then comb and slightly fluff your hair.

Change parting to side or zigzag

If your roots have already grown a few centimeters, but there is no time to color them, try changing the parting. Perhaps another parting will suit you more than usual, and you can also hide your real hair color from others in such a cunning way for a while.

In addition, zigzag partings are now in fashion, as visually an ombre effect is obtained on the hair. Therefore, do not put off this method, go to the mirror right now and remove the strands to the opposite side of the usual one.

Make a volume

This method can be used when you are going to attend a meeting or go to work every day. You just need to give your hair volume. Then the roots themselves will rise, and the transition from one color to another will be less noticeable.

In addition, this styling suits almost everyone, so expect compliments in your direction.

Braid the braid

One more no less effective method hide overgrown roots - braid a braid. The fact is that when weaving the pigtail back, the parting disappears, and the roots become almost invisible. You need to braid exactly one braid, with two this method will fail.

One minus - for this method you need a certain length of hair, which not everyone has.

Put on a headdress

For all seasons, this method is successful. Tastefully chosen hats will partially or completely hide the hair and become details of an individual style. Elegant, flirtatious, practical or eccentric - you choose. The whole variety of hats, caps, scarves, turbans and headbands is at your service.

You can choose one of the described methods, you can come up with your own. The main thing is that it does not harm your hair and your health and is useful for hair.

Of course, we suspect that you will now say: "If the roots have grown, you need to go to the hairdresser." Good to say to those who have a lot of free time. And if you spun in time trouble and can’t even get out on parent-teacher meeting to school, let alone a hair stylist. Just for the busy, beauty brands have developed special tools that allow you to hide regrown roots and even gray hair, so much so that no one will definitely reveal this little secret. What are the basic rules of disguise? Read about it in our material.

Hair powder

Powder for the face masks minor imperfections, and for hair - regrown roots, gray hair , uneven color strands. You can choose a powder from the line for any hair pigment, even for highlighted strands. After application, no one will guess that you have just used the product.

The hair powder has a moisture-resistant formula, which means that even the rain will not be able to compromise you. The product can only be washed off with shampoo.

How to use: Pick up a little powder on the special brush that comes with the kit, pull back a strand of hair and apply with pressure to the root zone, starting with the parting.

Without headscarves, hats and barrettes - proven products from experts that can mask regrown roots for a period of several days to a month.

Hair concealer

The next generation of tinting products that do not need to be cured on the hair and do not require special preparation before application. Most often presented in the form of sprays, hair concealers are used in emergency situations when there is no more than 15 minutes for styling. You have to pay for speed with a short-term effect - all concealers tint the roots until the next shampooing and are washed off with shampoo.

Specially for BeautyHack, colorist Tanya Shark tested one of these products. Tanya chose Kevin.Murphy's tinted spray concealer:

“A wonderful concealer that really tints even gray strands, giving them a light brown tint (exactly the same as on the cover). In principle, the very shape of the bottle is very convenient: you can store it in your bag and use it at crucial moments. Shake, apply to the root zone and you're done! For such an "ambulance" the product has a good covering power (about 60%)! Do not be afraid of getting concealer on the skin: it is painted in the same light brown color and due to this, the hair looks thicker in the root zone. The product is easily washed off with water and shampoo, but does not flow from rain and sweat. The packaging says that the concealer can be applied to the length, but I would not do this. Due to the coloring pigments in the composition, the hair will become stiff and naughty - the effect will not be quite natural.

Oribe has a similar tool. As with Kevin.Murphy, Airbrush Root Touch Up Concealer is available in four shades and is applied to the hairline and parting.

Colored shampoos and conditioners

Colored shampoos, masks, and conditioners generally do not contain hydrogen peroxide, ammonia, or brighteners—those that make the color last for professional coloring. But they have a lot of pigment, which is responsible for the temporary enhancement of the shade, giving it saturation and masking the regrown roots. This technique will work great if your natural hair is lighter than dyed. If you have gray hair (why does it appear in early age, we told), colored shampoo is unlikely to hide it qualitatively.

You can use such products in the shower or pre-apply the composition to the roots so that it has time to gain a foothold. Don't expect a salon result, colored masks, conditioners and shampoos are designed to improve the shade, add shine to the hair and make the transition between regrown roots and length less clear.

One of the most famous products in this category is produced by the Davines brand. There are six shampoos and six conditioners in the Alchemic series for all possible shades (including extremely bright ones). They are applied in the same way as regular treatments: you can immediately rinse off, or you can wait 10 minutes for the product to set for a more saturated result (but in this case it is important to apply the product evenly so that the color is even).

If you don't like messing around with brushes, try Schwarzkopf Professional's Evo tinted balm or Igora Expert Mousse. The first needs to be kept for only three minutes, and the second has a convenient dispenser and is presented in a huge color scheme. Such funds are also good because they are able to replace the usual coloring for girls with weakened hair.

Stylist Alex Nagorsky recommends using L’oreal Professionel Color Corrector: “This is a special cream with pigment that corrects the shade of the hair. It is presented in two shades: for blondes and brunettes. In the first case, the product removes unwanted yellow undertones, in the second - red and orange, so that the color stays cold longer. He will also cope with regrown roots and delay your trip to the colorist.

Dry shampoo

The white buildup that appears after using dry shampoo can work for you blondes! The main thing is to evenly distribute the dry shampoo and comb the roots so that the shade becomes even. Of course, dry shampoo does not give the same result as after staining or even using a colored mask, but it mattifies and will be good if the shades of the roots and length do not differ dramatically. Brunettes need to choose colored dry shampoos. In a huge line of Batiste there is Divine Dark shampoo for dark and dark brown hair.

beach curls

Add volume at the roots with your favorite styling product (we talked about how to do this), then wind the curls using a styler or curling iron. It is not necessary to adhere to a certain order here, you can twist your hair in different directions. Then beat them with your hands, giving a deliberate carelessness to the hairstyle. This way you will hide the unwanted ombre at the roots.

Change parting

When you wear your hair parted for a long time, it becomes smooth at the roots, the natural volume disappears and, as a result, the hair color seems darker. It will definitely not benefit the regrown roots. If the haircut allows, change the parting. You will immediately refresh your hair and visually hide the “heavy” dark shade at the roots.

The heart of a beauty is inclined not to treason, but to change. Change of mood. Today you want to be a brunette, tomorrow - a blonde, and in three days, serve something more natural. Hair is dyed, but the roots grow back. And thus not only issue little secret its owner, but also throw up a lot of trouble. Therefore, we suggest that all colored beauties learn 9 tricks on how to disguise growing hair roots between visits to the hairdresser.

You can't stop being beautiful. Just like changing your image to suit your mood. You just need to be mentally and financially ready to support new image. But such an opportunity is not always found. Either there is not enough time to visit a hairdresser, or salaries ... And then the roots grow treacherously. To hide this little secret and "reach out" to the salon, stylists recommend using a few tricks.

Trick number 1: try not to go far from the "native" color

Yes, the heart sometimes requires dramatic changes. But if you just want to slightly refresh the image, stylists recommend coloring with a difference of 2-3 tones from the native color. And it looks natural, and the growing roots will not be so conspicuous. Accordingly, the salon can be visited less often, and the curls will be healthier.

Trick number 2: change the parting

If you need to make regrown roots less noticeable, comb your hair to the side. Side parting smoothes the transition between shades. But the contrasting stripe in the middle will definitely catch your eye.

Trick #3: More Glitter!

To hide the imperfections of the hair, including growing roots, stylists recommend using products with a shine effect. Curls will look healthy and well-groomed, and even contrasting roots will be perceived as a stylist's decision.

Trick number 4: temporary measures

Today, an increasing number of cosmetic brands are releasing special camouflage products for the roots. They look like a pigmented spray, shampoo or liquid toner and are applied directly to the roots and give them a temporary shade. This is not a paint, so the effect is purely superficial and lasts mainly until the first shampoo. But it perfectly hides the roots, especially gray ones. As a temporary measure, why not?

Trick number 5: weave braids

Make one of the stylish hairstyles with braids. Weave hair and interesting partings well hide the difference in shades of hair. And the number of ideas on the Internet will allow you to surprise with a new hairstyle even every day.

Trick number 6: iron - to the side

As in the case of a parting in the center, perfectly straight hair visually “stretches” your regrown roots even more. And they will seem even more than they really are. So, unless you are planning to freshen up your hair with a gradient effect, put off the iron until your next visit to the stylist.

Trick number 7: curls and waves

In contrast to the previous point, voluminous hairstyles perfectly hide growing roots. Why not try on “beach” waves or lush curls?

Trick number 8: do not forget about cleanliness

It's simple: the dirtier your hair, the darker it looks. Especially at the roots, which get oily the fastest. Not that blondes would turn into brown-haired women for a week without washing their hair, but still.

Trick number 9: disguise yourself in the shadows

A trick for the most desperate. Regular shadows will help to temporarily change the shade of the roots. Simply apply the right tone with a medium-sized brush. But keep in mind that exactly at midnight (or just after a few hours) the magic will disappear. So don't forget to touch up "make-up" from time to time.

The hair thrown to the side will hide the discrepancy between the shades between the roots and ends. Moreover, you don’t even need to bathe with curling your hair and styling: with a certain turn of your head, no one will even notice that last month you overslept a visit to the hairdresser.

Parting criss-cross

It can be argued that this is not styling at all, but simply carelessly styled hair that appeared as a result of erratic night rolling on the pillow. But that was in the 90s, today only hardworking bees like actress Julianne Hough can style their hair crosswise. By the way, a zigzag hoop will have the same effect (remember, these were also popular in the 90s): it will divert attention from the transition between dyed hair and roots that have not known paint for a long time.

Maria Sozinova, stylist at Britana Beauty Studio

“Any voluminous hairstyle will help hide regrown roots. Tie your hair with a scarf or put it in a turban are also good options. But most importantly - do not try to repeat the effect of wet hair and do not make tight and smooth styling, this will only aggravate the situation.

body waves

Clearly formed waves were actively advertised at the time of the ombre fashion: they say that such a hairstyle will best emphasize the transition from the roots to the tips. Use this rule now, when, only with a slight amendment: the volume should now start right from the very roots.

Braid-crown

If you have the strength and ability to weave this, then this is your way out: such a “hoop” draws attention to itself and distracts from the difference in shades on the head.

Scythe turning into a tail

Again, mastery of disguise in action: start braiding at the crown and finish at the back of the head, making the tail as long as possible. The more complex weaving, the more it distracts from regrown roots.

low beam

Not just low, but also sloppy. With indispensable strands released from the face.

Bandana

Headband, bandana or stars and bloggers. More summer than winter, so keep it in your plans for the future.
