How to Hide Regrowth

New hair colors are great while they last, but it’s definitely frustrating when your roots start to peek out after a few weeks. There’s no need to worry! If you can’t pop by a salon, there are still plenty of stylish, clever hacks and tricks you can use to hide and disguise your regrowth.

[Edit]Steps

[Edit]Apply root touch-up products.

  1. Root concealer offers long-lasting coverage for your regrowth. Spritz the product all over your exposed roots, creating seamless coverage along the top of your head. High-quality root concealers will stay in place until you hop in the shower.[1]

    • A root touch-up kit provides long-term coverage for your regrowth.[2]
    • Some brands make root touch-up products for bright hair colors, like pink, purple, and teal.

[Edit]Disguise your roots with dry shampoo.

  1. Dry shampoo is great at hiding darker roots. The light powder of the shampoo helps your regrowth blend in with the rest of your hair, creating a more seamless look. Simply spritz the shampoo along your exposed roots for quick, seamless coverage![3]

    • Tinted dry shampoo can help hide and slightly recolor your regrowth, too.[4]

[Edit]Add a touch of makeup.

  1. Makeup can hide your regrowth if you’re in a pinch. Search your makeup collection for mascara, eyebrow pencil, eyeliner, or powder foundation that’s a close match to the rest of your hair. Dab or spread the makeup product over your exposed roots until they blend with the rest of your hair.[5]

    • Wax-based cosmetics will last the longest in your hair. Powders and other makeups will still get the job done, but they might leak and streak if you run into rainy weather.

[Edit]Use a weekly toning shampoo.

  1. Toning shampoo gets rid of some unpleasant brassiness in your hair. As you hop in the shower, lather and rinse out your hair with your traditional shampoo first. Then, re-lather your hair with toning shampoo—this will get rid of some brassy tones in your hair, and help tone down the regrowth a bit.[6]

    • Pair toning shampoo with a hair mask to completely refresh your hair.

[Edit]Slip on a headband.

  1. Headbands are a great way to hide regrowth when you’re in a rush. Center the accessory over the most obvious sections of regrowth, hiding it completely from view.[7]

    • Headbands can be a really stylish accent to your outfit, too! Pick out a fun color that matches your ensemble for the day.

[Edit]Wear a hat.

  1. Hats offer quick coverage on the go. If you don’t have enough time to touch-up your roots before heading outside, slip on your favorite hat. This accessory helps keep your roots hidden, while also adding a stylish accent to the rest of your outfit.[8]

    • Any kind of hat will do—it can be a winter hat, baseball cap, bucket hat, or something else altogether!

[Edit]Try a textured hairdo.

  1. Flat hair makes your regrowth more obvious. Instead, give your hair a boost with a quick, textured style. Grab a medium-sized curling iron, guiding the wand through the ends of your hair.[9] Then, spray a few spritzes of sea salt spray into your locks.[10]

[Edit]Slick your hair back.

  1. Gel makes your hair darker overall, which helps hide regrowth. Pour a small, grape-sized amount of hair gel on your comb, guiding it backward along your hair. Continue raking your hair backward, creating a look that’s both iconic and practical.[11]

    • You can also slick your hair back into a ponytail or bun.

[Edit]Twist your hair into a top knot.

  1. A top knot adds a classy touch to your regrowth.[12] To create this simple look, flip and pull your hair into a ponytail along the top of your head. Then, twist the ponytail in a circular motion, creating a donut shape as you go. Tie your hair in place along the top of your head to finish things off.[13]

[Edit]Switch your part.

  1. Side parts are the best way to disguise any new regrowth. After hopping out of the shower, blow dry your hair for several minutes to give it a lot of extra volume. Then, flip your part to the right or left for a quick, stylish cover-up![14]

    • Don’t worry about combing your new part into place. Messy parts help diffuse and blend your regrowth into the rest of your hair.
    • A zig-zag part is another great option! Grab sections of hair along the center of your head, alternating sections to the left and right. Your hair part will look like a “Z” instead of a straight line, and your regrowth won’t be as obvious.[15]


[Edit]Tips

  • Some braids can completely disguise your regrowth. Tie your hair into plaits close to your scalp, or tie a thick braid down the back of your head. Crown braids are also a great way to hide your regrowth.[16]
