Root Touch-Up 101: How to Cover Grey Roots Between Salon Visits
Are your grey roots peeking through before your next salon appointment? You’re not alone. Root regrowth can happen fast—especially if you colour your hair regularly. But the good news? You don’t need to wait weeks (or pay salon prices) to feel confident again.
In this guide, we’ll show you how to cover grey roots at home quickly and effectively using our best-selling Hair Genetics Root Cover Up.
Why Do Grey Roots Show So Fast?
Hair grows at an average rate of 1–1.5 cm per month. That means grey root regrowth can appear as early as 2–3 weeks after colouring. It’s most noticeable along the hairline, parting, and temples.
If you want a quick solution between appointments, a root touch-up is the answer.

How to Use Hair Genetics Root Cover Up – Step-by-Step
Step 1: Start with dry, styled hair
Ensure your hair is completely dry and styled before applying. This helps the product grip better and blend more naturally.
Step 2: Apply the powder using the brush
Use the built-in brush to dab powder onto your visible roots. Focus on the hairline and parting first, blending outward.
Step 3: Blend and build coverage
Build gradually—less is more. Apply more if needed and blend to match your hair seamlessly.
Step 4: Lock in your look (optional)
Our formula is long-lasting, but you can finish with a light mist of hairspray for extra hold if desired.
How Long Does It Last?
Hair Genetics Root Cover Up lasts until your next shampoo. It won’t smudge or run during the day, and it’s easy to reapply as needed.
