If we’re keeping it real, coloured hair is a commitment. In order for it to stay looking salon-fresh, it requires a hell of a lot of TLC, including frequent trips to the hairdresser – something the Covid-19 pandemic has made almost impossible.

If you’re fretting about the dark roots and grey hairs that have started to sprout, then you’ve probably contemplated taking on DIY hair-dye. Luckily, we’re one step ahead and are able to guide you in the right direction.

When it comes to achieving a quick fix in between washes or a temporary colour that covers regrowth, there’s only one product for the job – hair root touch ups.

Ideal for beginners and designed to hold you down until your next appointment, it’s the hair saviour you’re going to want to stock up on.

Stay tuned, as we round up the best root touch up spray, powder, sticks and more.
