While many embrace the silver trend by dyeing their hair gray, most of us with natural grays prefer to keep them under wraps. Drawing from years of hairstyling expertise, here are five simple, proven strategies to camouflage gray roots until your next color appointment.
1. Switch up your hairstyle
Wearing your hair the same way daily makes grays stand out. Simply parting it on the opposite side can dramatically reduce the visibility of new growth.
2. Add texture
Tight ponytails pull attention straight to your roots and grays. Opt for loose waves or curls instead—they create movement and provide natural camouflage.
3. Incorporate accessories
A stylish hairpin, hat, or beanie draws the eye away from grays. For fuller coverage, a chic scarf or headband works wonders.
4. Try highlights
If you're not fully gray, highlights blend seamlessly with low maintenance. They'll make emerging grays far less noticeable between salon visits.
5. Use root touch-up products
Convenient at-home solutions like Color Wow Root Cover Up or Collistar Magic Root Concealer Color Spray offer instant, temporary coverage. They're effortless to apply via spray or powder.
