8 best root touch-ups to see you through to your next hair appointment

Anyone who dyes their hair will be familiar with the inevitable appearance of roots. Whether you’re trying to stretch out your salon visits or touch up pesky greys, the best root cover-up products can save your dye job – and lots of money.

The options range from pigmented powders, sprays, temporary dyes, and mascara-style wands, depending on the type of coverage you’re after. Sprays, for example, can be great for a day or two but will wash out when you shampoo your hair. Box dyes provide more permanent coverage, but they may not be for you if you’re not confident when it comes to dying your hair and just want something to tide you over between salon visits.
