Retouch your hair colour quickly and easily

Your hair’s growing back but you don’t have time for a colour treatment? No worries: there are lots of practical products that can help save the day in a snap. Let’s take a look!

Give your roots the boot

Whether you need a speedy solution for a special occasion or a way to make your hair color last longer, what counts is choosing the right formula.

  • Your best friends for a quick fix: correctors. They’re a snap to use and they slip easily into your purse for quick adjustments when you need them. Downside: they wash out with your first shampooing.
  • For a longer run, try permanent color retouching. It’s longer lasting than correctors and it targets your roots more quickly and easily than a full colouring. Choose a colour as close as possible to your current shade but remember: because you’re working with fresh roots, the shade will likely be lighter and more vibrant than the rest of your hair.

A question of method

In terms of application, there are a few tools available, particularly if you’re using a temporary solution. Just choose the one that works best for you!

FOR CORRECTORS

Aerosol applicators cover your roots with a fine layer of powdered colour. Simply spray over the areas while holding the can a few inches from your head and you’re good to go!

FOR RETOUCHING

Most permanent colour root retouchers come with a comb-tip applicator. A little like mascara, this method helps you target specific areas so you can apply the colour more evenly.

A word to the wise: before you start your retouching, apply a little petroleum jelly to the top of your forehead, your temples and your ears so you don’t stain your skin.
