In times of pandemic hair regrowth has become a hot topic. Not that talking about DIY tint management, waiting for the hairdresser, was OUT before. But certainly the closures of the salons have given it a new meaning, setting the question on a clearer dichotomy than in the past: on the one hand the party tolerant to 3 cm undyed roots, and on the other hand that of the absolute no to clear color detachment! There are those who then took the opportunity to definitively switch to white hair, and those who have refined the “retouching technique” to always be in order between one color and another.
Which side are you on? If you’ve ended up here, you’re most likely wondering what the better products to touch up regrowth and if there are natural remedies to use for emergencies. Read our guide: there is something for all needs! Classical gray line, “whitened” temples, white hair sprouting here and there randomly, dark roots on blond hair, highlights to fix, whatever your regrowth, know that delay the color appointment in the salon you can, without looking sloppy.
Cover the regrowth of white hair
If blackberries are more unfortunate, given the clear evidence of white regrowth, this turns into an advantage in terms of emergency products. The reason? It is easier to guess the nuance of the retouching in spray. Of course, the market has evolved by offering browns in all shades: brown clear, golden, mocha and chocolate. The black? Better to buy it if your color is very black!
Blondes and redheads with white roots, on the other hand, currently have less choice among temporary colors, but on the other hand they blend more easily. The duration of the product is up to the next shampoo, and allows you to extend the time of the next color About 10 days, not more.
How to use hair coloring sprays
Usually the package of retouching sprays is equipped with a very thin nozzle to precisely target the product on the roots. This is to avoid that the color ends up in large quantities on the scalp, giving a visibly fake effect. It is then used at a distance of 10 cm, wait 2-3 minutes for it to dry, and brush to obtain a result natural cover.
We recommend using the regrowth spray on dry hair, but in some cases, if the area to be covered is large, it can be used on wet hair, immediately after shampooing. Especially in the case of dry and thick hair. Are you afraid that the temporary dye will get greasy and dirty? Don’t worry: the new formulations are light and almost evanescent. Don’t overdo the doses though.
For which regrowth? For the classic white and gray stripe, the white roots of the forehead and temples and i white hair on the top of the head.
The mascara for hair
If the white hair to be covered is few and localized in not very extensive areas, hair mascara is indicated instead of the spray. Allows you to retouch with the utmost precision temples sprinkled with white threads, an area that is usually the first to remind you that it’s time to book your appointment with color. But it is also perfect on the forehead. The technique of use is very easy, as it is similar to the one you would use for the eyelashes. Again, it is left to dry and combed.
How to cover gray hair with dye
Do you want to extend the time before returning to the hairdresser? You prefer alternate one color session in the living room and the other at home? If you are not familiar with coloring, and especially if your hairdresser has created you a beautiful color with beautiful reflections, perhaps with balayage on the lengths, our suggestion is to “not ruin” the work done in the salon. That is? We mean it is better to avoid the dye all over the head (even if you have a bob), but it’s good to dye your roots with one permanent color specific for retouching. The difference compared to traditional colors is both in the reduced quantity of product (which avoids the temptation to cover where it is not needed) and in the lighter formulation. L’ammonia it has, in fact, a lower concentration, allowing to color the hair permanently, without excessively altering the reflections of the remaining hair. It is about colors that adapt to each color, despite being divided into various shades. This way you can manage the regrowth of white hair every 15 days without damaging either the hair or that wonderful color obtained in the salon!
How to cover the dark regrowth
The binomial dark roots and blond hair it’s hard to manage at home, but somehow you can to delay the fateful date. First of all, we do not recommend do-it-yourself bleaching only for regrowth: you would risk to aesthetically “spoil” the whole hair, and then you could sensitize the newborn hair too much. Better to opt for temporary emergency systems: the Regrowth retouching spray for blond hair with dark roots they are designed to cover well that typical frame around the head that looks black.
If you want to try a dye, buy one 2 tones lighter shade dthe regrowth, therefore of your starting point. In this way you will slightly darken the blond of the lengths, and at the same time you will remedy the growing brown, which instead will lighten, minimizing thenet detachment effect.
Hair regrowth retouching: the products
Not just sprays and mascara, regrowth products consist of foams, powders and sticks. We make a distinction between emergency solutions:
- The colored foams they are indicated for those who do not have a net regrowth and want to revive the color while waiting to be dyed again.
- The powders for retouching instead they are suitable for those with hair that gets dirty easily, as they absorb any sebum “of the day after” (they are not to be considered as dry shampoo). They are applied with the bristle brush supplied in the package.
- Then there are the colored sticks which are used as markers on single white strands. Being more pasty, they are suitable for dry and double hair.
