You know how it is. You get your hair colored (or you color it yourself). You have a few weeks of gorgeous hair color. And then you notice a glint in the mirror. **A gray. Then grays. Your roots.** They have begun to grow back! After all, hair grows roughly ½” a month, so it’s bound to happen. You don’t want to color again quite yet, but you also want to cover those pesky roots and grays. That’s why we created [The Great Cover Up™ Root Touch Up & Brow Filler](http://www.madison-reed.com/shopping/root-touch-up). ****Stay with us to find out how to cover hair roots!**** ## The Best Thing to Ever Happen to your Roots (and Brows!) The Great Cover Up is makeup for hair & brows, **instantly concealing roots** with micro-milled pigments that perfectly mimic the reflective, multi-dimensional qualities of your hair, and filling in brows with natural-looking color. This portable powder compact covers your roots & grays while blending seamlessly with your hair for easy, on-the-go flawless touch ups. Includes a wide brush to expertly cover your grays, and a dual-sided brow applicator to flawlessly fill in your brows.

This is what [Shvonne](https://www.madison-reed.com/blog/author/shvonne-perkins), our Client & Colorist Education Manager had to say about this multi-tasking compact, “I recommend this product because it was formulated to actually **look like the soft dimensional color** that complements our permanent color, as well as natural hair color. This product looks organic and believable, which is so important because it can be used on the brows too. Those details really matter for hairline and brows.” ## A Master Colorist Answers Your Questions About How to Use a Root Touch Up Powder We decided to dig a little deeper with Shvonne, asking her some of the questions we get asked most often **when it comes to using a root touch up powder for gray hair.** Here’s what she said… ## When Choosing Between Two Hair Color Options, is it Best to go with the Lighter or Darker Shade? Shvonne says to always, “ **Go a little darker. Because this shade is meant to be used on the root area, it should be slightly deeper than the mid-lengths and ends.** Choosing a darker shade for the root will be most natural and avoid the look of hot roots.” ## Does The Great Cover Up Root Touch Up Work on All Hair Textures? “Yes,” Shvonne says, “it works on all textures. But here’s a tip for anyone with finer, softer hair—try misting your hair with a light layer of hairspray before adding using The Great Cover Up. This gives your hair a little bit of grip, and makes the powder last even longer!” ## Will a Root Touch Up Powder Damage My Hair? “Don’t worry,” says Shvonne, “Not only will The Great Cover Up not damage your hair, it contains three of the ingredients that Madison Reed loves most **—keratin, argan oil, and ginseng root extract to nourish your hair.** Every Madison Reed product is focused on leaving your hair in beautiful shape!” ## Can you use a Root Touch Up Powder on your Beard? “We don’t recommend this product for use on beards,” says Shvonne, “However, check out our men’s line, [Madison Reed® Mr.™](https://www.madison-reed.com/men). The shades created for gray blending are soft and incredibly natural-looking. It’s formulated for both hair and beards!” Get the Great Cover Up [Shop Now](https://www.madison-reed.com/shopping/root-touch-up) ## 3 Ways to Cover Gray Hair with 3 of Our Favorite Products Of course there are more ways to cover grays, from temporary to permanent.

We might suggest a light application of hair spray first before the application to give the color a base to stick to. Or to apply it after to keep it in place.
