"There are two very different ways of applying a root concealer. The best masks for every hair type I'm still not comfortable with dying my hair at home – what is the alternative for concealing and blending in grey roots?
“In our Josh Wood Colour Permanent Hair Dye kits we make sure we have a protective barrier cream included and this is great dotted around the hairline and the ears to ensure colour doesn’t get on the skin and stain.” “If your previous colour has faded more than you'd like, you can refresh colour through mid-lengths and ends by pulling the colour through for the last ten minutes of the application, always leaving the last inch of your hair colour-free, for a more natural looking result. More really is more, so pack a lot of product onto the hairline on the roots to catch every last grey. When it comes to covering greys, they tend to appear around your hairline, so it’s worth paying particular attention to this area when you apply your colour. Practically this means squeezing the bottle and dotting the colour on in a line along your section parting, and then rubbing the dots in to your roots for maximum coverage. “I personally recommend using the ‘dotting method’ when applying colour. To section the hair as you go along in each section, you can use the comb, or just the tip of your colour bottle. When you begin to colour, you should endeavour to keep your sections neat, so that it’s easy to keep track of what parts have been coloured and what have not. “Split your hair into a ‘hot cross bun’ fashion (four sections) and clip. You want to make sure you have no knots in your hair before you start. “Brush your hair thoroughly (I love a Tangle Teezer) before you start colouring. One of the tips I always say with our Josh Wood Colour kits is that you should always go half a shade or a shade lighter if you’re unsure.”
"However, most people make the mistake of going too dark when buying at-home hair colour. Compare this with home colour kits available online. “One trick to find the best brown for you is this: Take a section down the back of your hair and part it and clip it and then take a photograph so you have a visual reference of how light or dark you are. For example, a rich mocha would look great on someone with a darker skin tone as it complements the natural warmth within the skin. Additionally, the same rules apply for darker skin tones and hair choose the tone you want to emphasise. Cool and ashy tones look great on fair skin that contains some red undertone, the ash in the hair will naturalise contrasting tones in the skin.
