Skip the Salon With This Hair Color How-To

Follow these steps to keep your hair color on point -- without setting foot in the salon

Divide Your Hair
Start with dry hair, and give it a good brush-through. Then, use your comb to divide your hair into four sections. Part it down the middle and then split each side in half, front to back. Twist and secure each section with a clip, so your hair is out of the way.

Apply Petroleum Jelly
To avoid getting color on your skin, delicately apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly to your hairline with your fingertips. Get as close as possible to your hairline, but be careful not to get any in your hair.

Apply Root Touch-Up
Unclip the section of hair with the most visible grays. You're going to start here. Use the included brush to paint the color mixture along your roots, or wherever you see silver strands. Once you've completely coated your first section, repeat on the rest of your hair, until there's color on all four quarters of your hair.

Set your timer for 10 minutes -- or 15 if you're battling particularly stubborn grays -- and relax (or even pamper yourself) while you wait for Root Touch-Up to work its magic.

Rinse, Condition & Style
Give your hair a good rinse, and apply your conditioner of choice. Now you're ready to blow-dry, style and rock your newly colored mane.

Show Off Your New Look
The only thing left to do? Confidently flaunt your lustrous, richly colored strands. Bonus: When people inevitably ask you who your fab colorist is, you can take all the credit.
