Let’s use the mascara trick to cover up those gray roots that need touching up, but you didn’t have time to do and don’t want to show up at an appointment with gray roots showing.
It’s a simple and easy trick, so let’s get started!
The best option for covering roots is mascara, as the color stays on the hair better, the brush helps to comb the retouched area well, and gives more control during application.
Tip
You can find a wider variety of shades using colored eyebrow mascaras! If you have black or basic brown hair, don’t rule out using a little of your eye mascara! “Hair mascara” and eyelash mascara are similar products — brands just change the function on the packaging to launch new products.
Whenever your roots are more “white,” try to tie your hair back.
A PONYTAIL, HALF-UP STYLE, OR LOOSE BUN ALREADY HELPS!
With your hair pulled back, you don’t have the partings on your head that REALLY show your gray hairs! The big secret is this: avoid straight partings.
This makes it much easier to touch up the parts that still appear white! Precisely because you can see the sides and top of your head better — which need this touch-up.
It’s easier to apply mascara with your hair tied back because the strands don’t stick to the brush or pick up too much excess color.
Always apply to the white area with the BRUSH FLAT. Use it as if you were combing the strands back — very slowly.
If your hair starts to get tangled in the brush, use your FINGER flat (lying down) to follow the movement of the mascara. Apply the mascara several times until all the white is covered.
The mascara ends up working as a “finishing spray” for the sides and top of your hairstyle!
Holding all the “flyaways” in place all day long…just right!!!
