The Easiest Way To Hide Grown-Out Roots, Based On Your Hair Color

If you have blonde hair and your roots are dark brown or black, you can try to conceal them by using dry white powder shampoo as a temporary fix. "Obviously when you're blonde and have darker roots, nothing but peroxide or bleach will whiten them," colorist Victoria Hunter told Marie Claire. "We use Sachajuan Volume Powder for a dusting of light color."

For red or brown hair look for a powder touch-up that is closest to your dyed color. There are several brown- and red-tinted hair powders that can blend new hair growth for redheads and brunettes.

When your roots are light and your dyed color is dark, Hunter said to opt for Root Vanish to camouflage gray or light roots. "Root Vanish is great for Asian hair or people who have black hair with whites that come through quickly," explained Hunter. "You twist the brush and the color comes out onto a little mascara brush for hair."
