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.
