The modern beauty industry offers many solutions for those who haven't had time to visit a salon but want to hide their grown-out roots. Here are several ways to tackle this issue. Use Hair Sprays or Toning Balms A spray is easy to apply to the roots and allows for a quick fix. However, its effect lasts only until the first wash. If a more lasting solution is needed, consider toning balms. They are more challenging to apply (it's better to use a brush), but they last much longer. Previously, people used eyeshadow or baby powder, but now there are more effective products available. Add Volume at the Roots Creating volume at the roots and texture along the length will help visually smooth out the contrast between the grown-out roots and the rest of the hair. Use root volumizing powder and a flat iron to create textured waves. You can also use dry shampoo, which will refresh the hair and add volume. If you don't have styling products, just wash your hair — clean hair looks better. Change Your Parting If you constantly wear your hair in the same style, it can make the grown-out roots more noticeable. Try changing your hairstyle: switch your part, make it crosswise, or create a bit of mess. This will help divert attention from the roots. Play with Light If you're trying to hide gray hair, keep in mind that lighter strands attract attention. Bright colors stand out, while gray remains in the shadows. If you're a brunette, avoid lightening your hair too much — just a shade or two lighter than your natural color is enough. Skip the Parting Gather your hair back. A good way to hide grown-out roots is to braid your hair, make a bun, or tie trendy knots. The main thing is to avoid partings in the hairstyle. One braid will look good, while two can create a messy appearance. If you choose a bun, low styles are in fashion this season.
