Beauty Tips for Root Touch Up
I guess I should be thankful that my hair is healthy and seems to grow pretty fast. At least it feels like the time to get my color done again comes around pretty often these days, especially when it concerns this stubborn gray hair at the temple and above my ear. UGH!!! It is an expensive process and even though I love my hairdresser, LB Rosser, I have found a few quick fixes for those in between periods when he is busy or I am feeling poor!!! I feel so dowdy when I look in the mirror and realize that all of a sudden my gray is showing.
You can see the before and after above. This time I used the Age Beautiful Root Touch-Up temporary haircolor that I bought at Sally’s. I spray it on a toothbrush and apply so that I have more control. I try to remember to remove it before going to bed with a baby wipe or make up remover so that it does not get on my pillow or my towel. You just have to find the color that matches your hair most closely and there are tons of choices. I use the light golden brown in this product. I tore an ad out of a magazine recently that looks interesting but I haven’t tried it yet. It is L’Oreal Root Cover Up.
Another temporary solution is using a powder eye shadow with a brow brush for application or a friend recommend Color WOW Root Cover Up that is available at Ulta. This is a powder that works really well. Be sure to remove the powder before having your color done.

Good tips. Between professional coloring, for touch-ups I use the same product my colorist uses that I can order online, Igora Royal by Schwarzkopf. And I mix it equally with a Igora Oil Developer by Schwarzkopf. And I add 10 drops of Gray Magic by Ardell, which really makes the color around your face adhere better. I also love the Wow powder for and occasional touch up around my face.
