Yes, you can strategically snip it here and there to keep everything trim—and we’re going to offer you tips for exactly that—but please don’t undermine the professionals. They went to school for years and have shaped up tens of thousands of domes. Plus, how can anyone expect to fade the back of their own head, much less draw clean lines using a handheld mirror? The degree of difficulty is far too much.

One of the biggest concerns from many women during this "Shelter in Place" is "What about my roots?". There's a post going around saying that in the next few weeks we're going to know everyone's true haircolor (I think I've even shared it). Don't fret. We'll get through this. This too shall pass. In the mean time, though, you're going to need to be creative with clips, scarves, hats, beanies, and braids (if your hair's long enough). Not unlike working out or getting out for a walk (social distancing, of course), when you feel good about your appearance and your hair looks good you feel better, too. So, if you don't want to mess up your hair and then have to pay for a really expensive color correction, you're going to have to wait for me. If you must do something, here's an article with some recommendations for root cover-ups. These are temporary so understand they will wash out when you shampoo.  8 Best Root Cover-Ups You Need to Try Let’s face it: going to your stylist for color touch-ups every four weeks doesn’t always fit into our budgets or our busy schedules. What to do when your roots are showing and you want to look polished for a photo or a special event? Fortunately, there is a solution. Top brands have created hair root concealers for a temporary but absolutely 100% effective solution to save us from color mishaps and unwanted root regrowth. Choose from sprays, powders, sticks, and creams that come in a variety of different shades to match all hair colors. Click below for the pros and cons on the best touch up products to hide root regrowth and keep your hair looking fresh between color appointments! Buyer’s Guide to Root Touch-Up Products
The FAQ below can help you choose the perfect touch-up product for your needs. What Is Root Concealer? Root concealer is a product for covering grays, hiding root regrowth, and extending highlights. They come in aerosol sprays, powders, sticks, mascaras or brushes. They are designed to extend your fabulous look between color appointments. Do Touch-Up Products Cover Gray Hair? Yes, they do. Check out our article dedicated to root concealer options for older women and read all the pros and cons of each touch-up method. How Long Does a Root Concealer Last When Applied? All contemporary root touch-up products will stay in your hair until the next wash. Some of them may be not waterproof, but the root concealers reviewed above are workout-proof and won’t “run” if you sweat. How Long Do Root Concealer Sprays Take to Dry? The average is between 3 to 15 minutes, depending on the amount of product you apply. Can Root Concealer Have Additional Benefits? Yes, some touch-up sprays may add volume, some may make hair visually thicker, some have a nice scent, and some have a dry shampoo effect. Can Root Concealer Cover Dark Roots on Blond Hair? Yes, but you need to find the perfect shade and apply enough product to cover it. It would seem counter-intuitive, but by using a slightly darker shade, you can create a more natural look. Can Root Concealers Damage Your Hair? No, they’re absolutely safe for your hair. Remember to choose products from reliable brands and read ingredient lists if you have sensitivities. Can I Apply Touch-Up Products to Wet Hair? Best results are achieved when applied to dry, styled hair. At the end of the day, is root concealer worth it? In our book, the answer is absolutely! Once you find the best root concealer for your hair texture and color, visible roots will become a thing of the past. Though some root concealers are pricier than others, they’ll save you money and time you would’ve spent at the salon. Whether you’re keeping those stray grays at bay or convincing everyone you were born a natural blonde, there’s a perfect root touch-up product for you.  How are you doing? This was probably one of the most challenging newsletters I’ve had to put together in a while. Typically, I have a list of articles I want to share with you. The list gets shuffled around all the time depending what’s new & interesting and what I want to pass along each month. Most of the content comes from conversations you and I have while you’re in the salon. But this month the focus kept shifting as the days went by.
So, yeah, preparing for this month's newsletter was different. We haven’t had much “you and me” time. I really wanted to have articles for you that were especially relevant to questions you might have right now during these challenging times. I hope you’ll find the selection of articles helpful. In a separate email, I sent an update on the Shelter-in-Place order and the salon remaining closed until May 1st. I’ve opened my schedule for May 1st for those of you who would like to get something on your calendar. There's a button to click below. I know it’s still another month away and we’re all going to look quite shaggy, but rest assured I’ve been studying up on a few haircuts and The Shag is one of them. I also found a tutorial on how to do the “Tiger King Mullet”. (please, please, please do not ask for that look.) I've also posted a "Caveman Challenge" to you on Instagram. I want to close here by letting you know how fortunate I am to have each and everyone of you sitting in my chair. You have been tremendously supportive during this challenging time and I will be forever grateful. I am available by email or text if you have any questions or concerns. I hope this finds you and yours healthy and in reasonably good spirits. Until we meet again… |
