Why do none of us ever get our colour done earlier than absolutely, crucially, head-scarfily necessary? It’s always a squawk of ‘Oh Lord, I’m so grey,’ from the brunettes, or ‘I’ve got roots down to my ears,’ from the blondes.
I suppose it’s the usual: time and money. Colouring one’s hair is a proper commitment in that it takes a couple of hours and a great wodge of cash. So, seeing as most of us feel frantic and skint most of the time, why make that appointment until you’re desperate?
But it’s such a downer having a root-y barnet. Your hair looks greasy and if regrowth is chronic, it can make you read as a bit unhinged. I’m telling you this because no one else will.
Cue grand entrance. Color Wow Root Cover Up is a champion. This is what you wheel out during that impasse between the realisation that your hair is starting to look weird and getting to the hairdresser. Instant and convincing camouflage.
In its slim black case it looks like an eyeshadow on steroids, and brushes on in a similar way. Available in four shades, it doesn’t dull your hair and lasts for a good couple of shampoos, and the blonde shade can be used to extend the life of highlights for brunettes. This little hero will save time, money and face.
You’re welcome… That’s what I’m here for.
