8 Root Touch Up Products to Hold You Over Until Your Next Color Appointment

If your grown-out roots look like the ombré highlights you’ve never asked for, opt for a spray concealer like L'Oréal's Root Cover Up, which makes applying the temporary color to large areas quick and easy.

This root power is a cult-favorite among celebrity hairstylists like J.Lo's go-to Chris Appleton because it latches onto hair without getting sticky and doesn't rub off if your roots are oily. 

Sure, a spray is an easy product to use, but it's even easier to apply way too much to your hair. That's what sets dpHue's root touch up spray apart. With its adjustable nozzle, you'll be able to target exactly where you want without covering hair you don't need to.  

I don't know what I love more: the fact that this chubby pencil makes it easy to zero in on gray hairs, or that it doubles as an eyebrow pencil. 

If your idea of a root touch up is a product that won't come off until your next wash day, then try Rita Hazan's spray. The pigment is water- and sweat-resistant so it doesn't stain skin — or your bedsheets. 

Instead of ink, this marker is infused with temporary color that instantly wipes away grays. On top of precision, you're also guaranteed a mess-free application. 

Some root touch up products do more than just cover regrowth and silvery hairs. On top of concealing roots, R+Co's spray comes with a few bonus features. Thanks to amino acids, minerals, and biotin, the pigment also boosts shine and makes hair look thicker. 

If you can swipe eyeshadow onto your eyelids, you'll be great at using Clairol's root powder. The kit comes with a tiny brush that's the perfect size for precisely covering up your root line or concentrating on single strands of hair.
