The best products to touch up gray hair and avoid dyeing so often

If you have gray hair, and it is very visible on the temple and forehead, you know perfectly well that after three weeks of having dyed it, it is already present again. That means having to dye very often to hide them.

Obviously, dyeing your hair very frequently is not very good for your hair, in addition to involving an expense in hairdressing or locking yourself in the sink for two hours and crossing your fingers that the homemade dye turns out as we wish. Luckily, root touch-ups have been around for a few years. A product that serves to temporarily hide the growth of the hair roots and that is especially useful when the natural hair color begins to show through the dyes or when gray hair appears.

We can choose between aerosol, powder or pencil format, and it is applied directly to the roots of the hair to hide the contrast with the dyed color. In addition, almost all brands have a wide color palette so that each one can choose the one that best suits their hair tone.

If you want to try this very useful product to be able to dye yourself less frequently, at El Comprador de La Vanguardia we propose the five most popular and best valued products on the market. Take note and forget about dyeing every two by three.
