TRIED & TESTED

FIVE OF THE BEST ROOT CONCEALERS

We give ratings out of 10 to hair products designed to cover greys in a flash – just apply and wash them off Everpro Beauty Zero Grey Root Touch-Up Magnetic Powder, £12.99

‘THIS takes a little building up, but it clings to hair well and isn’t messy. The precise sponge applicator makes it easy to do tricky hairline areas.’

Josh Wood Blending Brush, £15

‘GIVES great coverage and the brush makes colour quick to apply. It’s perfect for partings and I could even do my temples, but I had to wipe the excess off the brush first, as each click dispenses a lot of product.’

Bumble and Bumble BB Color Stick, £23

‘THIS crayon is ace for greys around the temples as it’s easy to stroke on. However, it’s a little waxy-looking when applied to larger areas, like if you have a lot of greys along your parting.’

L’Oréal Magic Retouch Spray, £8.99

‘COVERS greys fast and makes hair look thicker, too. It’s handy for filling out thinning temples, as well as concealing roots. The spray isn’t as precise as a liquid or powder, so you’ll need to wipe clean around your hairline afterwards.’

Garnier Express Retouch Root Concealer, £9.99

‘WOW, like hair dye in a tube! I have tons of greys and this covers them brilliantly. It’s non-messy and dries quickly, too. Just a light touch is needed around the hairline to avoid getting it on your skin.’
