Overdue an appointment?

These fast fixes will tide you over until you’re next in the salon

1 Growing out old highlights

Blend dyed ends and new natural tones with Josh Wood Colour Shade Shot Gloss, £19, a semi-permanent wash of colour that adds shine, too.

2 Sad style

When you can’t have a blow-dry, V05 Instant Volume Powder, £4.40, gives root lift in a flash. Just tap a sprinkling onto fingertips and massage into roots.

3 Pesky greys

Colour Wow Root Cover Up Powder, £28.50, may be pricey but it is the best, most budge-proof root cover product out there, and the slim palette will last all year.

Split 4 ends

There’s only one real cure (and it involves scissors) but a messy bun, secured with a snag-free Invisibobble, £5.99 for three, makes a great hiding place.
