Madison Reed Root Touch Up, $30, may look like a simple powder compact, but it's also packed with great ingredients. It's formulated with keratin, argan oil and ginseng root, so it's protecting your salon color while it works to cover up roots and silver strands.
For the days when you need to wash your hair as badly as you need to get it colored, there's AG Hair Dry Shampoo and Root Touch Up, $28. It has tapioca powder to absorb oil and enough pigment particles to cover roots and grays.
The color particles in the Style Edit Root Concealer, $17.50, adjust to match your hair color perfectly. The results can be subtle or you can layer it for extra gray coverage.
Rita Hazan Root Concealer, $25, has a superconcentrated nozzle so you can even target individual strands of gray hair. But if you have major roots to hide, it handles them well, too.
The only thing harder to cover than grays is superdark roots against blonde hair. Enter: Everpro Back 2 Blonde Root Touch Up, $12.99. It's like a little can of spray paint for your hair, and it covers roots flawlessly. The color is a soft pastel blonde -- not brassy -- and after it dries (which takes about two minutes), it stays put until you shampoo.
