L’Oréal Paris Root Cover Up

Credit: Target

Buy It: $9.99; target.com

If the majority of your roots are growing in, the best way to hide them is with a spray like this one. Think of it like a tinted dry shampoo on steroids. After shaking well, hold the bottle six inches away from your head and spritz from roots to mid-lengths—this ensure the formula blends seamlessly into your color. Comb through strands, letting it set for a minute before styling. It won’t budge until your next shampoo.

Bumble and bumble Bb. Color Stick

Credit: Sephora

Buy It: $26; sephora.com

For rogue grays, try using a tinted crayon to hide them. It’s made with dry fibers that coat the strand with believable, stay-put color. Just apply it like a lipstick anytime you need a little hair help. These crayons also come in a few out-of-the-box colors like pink and blue if you really want to spice up your silver.
