The quick and easy ways to hide your roots when you can’t get to a hair salon 

Experts have shared the quick and easy ways you can hide your root regrowth when you can’t get to a hair salon – as coronavirus continues to sweep the globe and stop people from doing their general day-to-day business.

Thousands around the world have been advised to self isolate and only conduct social gatherings where strictly necessary – meaning appointments at the hairdresser are becoming a rarity for many.

But if you’re worried about your roots, there are a plethora of tricks to hand – from using root concealer and dry shampoo to changing your parting and even using argan oil to boost your colour.   

So how can you get a bit of extra life from your colour?

The dry shampoo comes in three different colours, one of which is suitable for most hair types.

If you don’t have dry shampoo, baby powder will give a similar result. 

2. Change your parting

Always thought about parting your hair in the centre, but never dared try it?

Consider this your test drive. 

According to hairdressers and experts, when you wear your hair the same way every day, your hair actually becomes flatter and your roots look darker.

Switch the parting and it’s like an instant blow dry or fresh colour injection.

3. Embrace hairstyles that add dimension

While you might be used to wearing your hair down or in a ponytail, consider now the time to try something different.

Milkmaid braids are also a great option to make the most of what is still coloured underneath.

4. Try a root concealer

There are products out there which are designed to help with hiding your roots – and it might be time to get your hands on some.

Charles Worthington’s Instant Root Concealer is a particularly good option, as the targeted nozzle helps to keep splash to a minimum and is especially good for your parting.

Most root concealers last until you next shampoo your hair.

5. Apply argan oil

Argan oil is one of those heal-all products that has huge benefits for your hair. 

Its ingredients work to invigorate the cells which help to produce the melanin protein responsible for the colour of your hair.

It also has omega 3 and 9, which help to strengthen and moisturise the hair – as well as warding off greys. 

This should help both the colour and the texture of your locks.

6. Shampoo less

Most people will have been told by the experts time and time again to shampoo less to keep the quality of your hair.

But applying shampoo and conditioner to your locks less frequently also helps to keep your colour.

Try and cut it down to either once or twice a week, and if you’re blonde, use a purple shampoo to enhance your highlights. 

7. Think about accessories 

Hats, headbands and general hair accessories are a really simple way to hide your roots.

An especially thick headband can work wonders at disguising a darker colour at the base of your head.

You could also tie your hair into a headscarf and protect it from the sun as much as hide your colour.
