The Best Root Touch-Up Products For Covering Regrowth In Between Salon Visits

If you dye your hair and also happen to be time-poor, financially strapped or still a few weeks off your next visit to the salon, you’ve come to the right place. And if the crown of your head is littered with dark streaks raining on your platinum blonde parade or pesky greys rearing their uninvited heads, then you’ve definitely come to the right place.

Among some of the best inventions known to man (electricity, the Internet, the process of fermenting grapes into a delicious, drinkable liquid) sits the humble, affordable and game-changing: root touch-up. 

These natural-looking sprays and tinted powders instantly mask regrowth until your next hair wash day. The effortless application and seamless blending mean touch-ups from home are as easy as applying your daily mascara without running the risk of any DIY mishaps. 

From jet black locks to bright creamy blondes, here are the best root touch-up products you need to be using, now.

Best Root Touch-up

Clairol Root Touch-up Concealing Spray

We say: So you’re trying to touch up those roots, which is a totally valid plight. BUT, come summer is there anything more embarrassing than diving into the pool with perfect-looking locks and coming out… with your roots on full show? It’s a no from us, and luckily Clairol agree, having come up with a sweat-proof, water-resistant formula that also still looks natural and blends seamlessly into your strands. 

You say: “After recently dying my hair back to medium brown I was getting very tired of seeing my ugly dark blonde regrowth after 3 weeks and this product hides my regrowth so well! Sometimes I will just use this product to elongate my regrowth appointments at the hair salon! It is very easy to use and dispenses easily from the bottle and the added bonus is that it does not leave any greasy residue in your hair. It matched my regrowth perfectly and not one person from my workplace could tell I was using it! The smell of the product is not obvious at all either! I take it everywhere with me – I love it! Also loved the consistency of the product as it did not drip, or after a hot day, move further down my scalp. Will buy again!” – Cupcake811
