If you are waiting for your next appointment with your colorist, or if you are not ready for dyeing yet, there are a lot of hacks you can do at home to cover the unwanted hair easily.

 

Braids

Make yourself a nice braid to hide your grey hair, because this hairstyle will cover the roots perfectly where white hair clearly show up and make you look like a mess. You can also try a ponytail or a bun, for example.

 

Hair Accessories

Also, there are many hair accessories you can benefit from to hide your silver hair. For instance, you can wrap a scarf in different ways and with many hairstyles. Use a hat or bandana to hide your grey hair.

 

Root Retouches

Some beauty brands give you the opportunity to hide your greys using a root retouch spray, liquid or powder that conceals your grey hair instantly and that comes off when taking a shower, such as, L’Oreal Magic Retouch Root Touch Up, Cover Your Gray Waterproof Root Touch-Up and John Frieda root blur color blending concealer.

 

Mascara or Eyeshadow

This is a makeup hack to cover your grey hair. All you need is a mascara or eye shadow that has the same shade of your hair. Apply mascara on the roots to hide grey hair or an eyeshadow using a blending makeup brush.
