It’s frustrating to spend hundreds of pounds on a cut and colour only to see your roots poking through within four to six weeks. Whether you’ve darkened your hair only to see your natural blonde peeking through, or you’re dealing with brunette regrowth among your peroxide-treated strands, keeping your color looking flawless is anything but easy.

But perhaps it doesn’t have to be that way. You needn’t risk staining your scalp with an at-home box dye and, likewise, you don’t need to begin shopping for hats to see you through until your next salon appointment. The world of haircare has come a long way since the days of stovetop hair curlers and henna dyes – root cover-up exists and it warrants your attention.
