Got roots?
Whether your gray is coming in, or you have black roots and blonde ends, I have a few tips to get you through quarantine with inches of regrowth.
First, if you have dark roots and the rest of your hair is light, never wear a middle part. It will make the dark roots stand out much more. I recommend wearing a side part, and zigzagging it a little with a comb, so it breaks it up. Use dry shampoo and teasing to give it a little lift. If you are out of dry shampoo, baby powder works fine as well.
If you have grays, you can use a hair mascara or powder close to you hair color to cover them up. You can get these on Amazon or most drug stores. Switching up your part can also make a big difference. Find a part where the grays are less noticeable.
What you shouldn’t do is pluck the grays because they will come back and stick up even more. Also, please don’t use a box color or root touch up in a box. It’ll cost less in the end just to wait for your hairdresser. You don’t want an expensive color correction when this is all over.
If your hair is particularly bad one day, grab a cute headband or scarf to cover it up!
If you do daily zoom meetings and need to look presentable from the neck up, the tips above along with a 5 minutes face routine, will have you zoom ready in no time!!
Start with a tinted moisturizer of your choice. My favorite tinted skincare is Rodan and Fields Radiant Defense, but you can use what you are comfortable with. This will even out your skin tone quickly. If you are oily, set with powder. Apply your fave blush to the apples of your cheeks, mascara (my fave is Thrive Causmetics) and gloss (or even chapstick) and you are ready to go!
Find a place in your house to get on your call with natural light. You can also buy an inexpensive selfie light on amazon, if your house is particularly dark.
