Top 10 Products For Grey And Colored Hair Coverage

HOW IT WORKS
Clairol's Root Touch-Up Kit provides semi-permanent coverage in minutes. To use it, mix the contents of the dye packet with the Color Activating Lotion, then apply it to your roots using the precision brush. Let the product sit in your hair for up to 20 minutes, then rinse and enjoy your refreshed color.

GOOD TO KNOW
This kit comes in 16 different colors to choose from, including options for blondes, brunettes, and redheads.

HOW IT WORKS
Oribe's Airbrush Root Touch-Up Spray is the ideal product for covering up greys in a pinch. Simply shake it up, then hold the can six inches away from your scalp and spray it on your roots to conceal.

GOOD TO KNOW
If you have grey roots and an oily scalp, consider this touch-up spray a twofer. The formula is enriched with microfine mineral colorants and rice starch, both of which absorb dirt and oil.

HOW IT WORKS
Described as a "binding powder," this product instantly conceals grey hairs and thinning roots. It comes with a mirror and a sponge applicator for precise, convenient coverage, and the powder itself is rain-, sweat-, and wind-resistant, but washes out with your next shampoo.

PROMISING REVIEW
"This product somehow bonds with your hair, and it really covers the greys. I use it on my part to go an extra week or two between salon visits."

HOW IT WORKS
TSA-friendly and small enough to fit in your pocket, this on-the-go solution is perfect for covering grey roots between shampoos. The applicator is a cushion—similar to a makeup sponge—which becomes saturated with product you can gently dab onto your roots. After three minutes, brush through it, and voilà.

GOOD TO KNOW
This formula is infused with mineral clay and pearls to help prevent greasiness and buildup.

HOW IT WORKS
Suitable for all hair types, this twist-up crayon is applied to sections of your hair the way a lipstick would be applied to your lips. The pigmented and quick-dry formula can be blended in with your fingers, covering up sparse areas without creating product buildup or tangles. 

GOOD TO KNOW
No dry time needed, and heads up: this will wash out with shampoo.

HOW IT WORKS
The Magic Root 10-Minute Coloring Kit delivers even coverage that lasts for several weeks. To use it, pour the color gel into the developer bottle and shake it up. Choose whether you'd like to use the precision tip or the soft brush tip, then apply the product to your roots and let it sit for 10 minutes before rinsing.

GOOD TO KNOW
Once you mix the solution, it will only be effective for 15 minutes, so keep your application prompt.

HOW IT WORKS
This award-winning powder compact is celebrated for its ability to not only disguise grey hairs, but deliver the illusion of a fuller hairline. Its formula is enriched with reflective pigments that add dimension and shine to flat hair, and zinc stearate that provides longer hold.

PROMISING REVIEW
“This product is a wonder! I have very dark brown curly hair, and between coloring, you can see my completely grey roots. The contrast is extreme enough that I look like I’m balding right at the hairline. Yet this stuff works and offers amazing coverage at the part and hairline—good enough for Zoom calls or styling hair in updos or ponytails. The consistency gives you a lot of control and is easy to layer on as needed. The staying power is unbelievable.”

HOW IT WORKS
Rain-, sweat-, and pillow-proof, Madison Reed's Root Touch Up + Brow Filler kit instantly covers grey roots and defines brows. It comes with a brush applicator for use on your scalp, as well as a classic brow brush. Plus, the powder is packed with hair-loving ingredients like keratin and argan oil.

GOOD TO KNOW
For the best coverage possible, spritz a light mist of hairspray all over your hair before applying this product. 

HOW IT WORKS
A temporary fix for grays, the Magic Root Cover Up Concealer Spray promises to provide coverage in as little as three seconds. Plus, the water-resistant formula was created to prevent smudging and sticky residue.

GOOD TO KNOW
Ammonia tops the list of concerning haircare ingredients, and thankfully, this product has none of it.

HOW IT WORKS
There’s more than meets the eye with Style Edit's Root Concealer. Yes, the color adaptive pigments flawlessly adjust to your hair fibers for a seamless blend. Yes, the spray applicator is easy to manipulate. But beyond that, reviewers also rave about its ability to increase volume at the roots and dry down into a non-sticky finish.

PROMISING REVIEW
“I went prematurely grey and am now almost completely white, so I have been dying my hair for many years. I have a regular salon appointment, but my hair grows very quickly so my white roots show up pretty fast. I've tried several other products, but this is by far the best one. It looks so natural, blends in perfectly, and even gives my hair a boost of volume. I love it!”
