How to Cover Up Grey Roots for Blonde Hair: A Guide Using Josh Wood Colour Products

Grey roots can be a sneaky surprise, especially if you’re rocking a blonde shade that you love. The good news? You don’t always have to rush to the salon for a touch-up. The Josh Wood Colour Root Cover range offers a range of easy-to-use, salon-quality products that help you blend and cover grey roots seamlessly at home.

In this guide, we’ll show you how to cover grey roots using the Josh Wood Colour Root Smudge in Blonde, Airbrush Root Spray in Blonde, and Blending Brush in Dark Blonde. You can use them individually for targeted coverage or combine them for a dimensional blonde look that’s salon-worthy.

1. Root Smudge in Blonde: Precision for Root Coverage

The Josh Wood Colour Root Smudge in Blonde is perfect if you’re looking for a smooth, natural transition from grey roots to your existing blonde. It offers long-lasting coverage and works like a semi-permanent tint, ideal for those who want more control over regrowth without permanent commitment.

How to Use the Josh Wood Colour Root Smudge:

• Prep: Ensure your hair is clean and dry. Part your hair where the grey roots are most noticeable.

• Application: Using the built-in double ended applicator, apply the Root Smudge directly to your roots. Focus on the areas where the grey is most prominent, typically around the hairline or parting.

• Blend: Gently tap and blend the product into the hair to create a smooth transition. The formula blends well into the blonde tones, leaving no harsh lines. The Blonde Root Smudge not only covers grey hairs, but also extends highlights.

Pro Tip: For the best results, apply the Root Smudge to freshly washed, dry hair. You can also use a comb to further blend the product into your strands for a more seamless finish.

2. Airbrush Root Spray in Blonde: Quick and Easy Touch-Ups

For a speedy fix, the Airbrush Root Spray in Blonde is a lifesaver. It’s lightweight, provides instant coverage, and is perfect if you’re on the go or need a last-minute touch-up before heading out. This spray is designed to blend with your blonde shade and temporarily covers greys until your next shampoo.

How to Use the Josh Wood Colour Airbrush Root Spray:

• Prep: Shake the can well before use.

• Application: Hold the can about 15 cm (6 inches) away from your roots and spray lightly over the areas that need coverage. Focus on areas like the crown, hairline, and parting.

• Blending: After spraying, gently pat the roots with your fingers to blend the colour into your hair. Allow it to dry for a few seconds.

Pro Tip: Less is more with the Airbrush Spray. Start with a light mist and add more if needed. This product also helps add some texture to your roots, which can give the appearance of added volume.

3. Blending Brush in Dark Blonde: Create a Multidimensional Look

The Blending Brush in Dark Blonde is great for creating depth and dimension. By using a darker tone at the roots, you can mimic the natural look of regrowth while also adding dimension to your blonde shade. This brush-on colour is buildable and blends beautifully for a shadow root effect.

How to Use the Josh Wood Colour Blending Brush:

• Prep: Part your hair and ensure it’s wet.

• Wet Hair Application: Press the base of the brush to release the product. Apply the Blending Brush in Dark Blonde along your roots, focusing on areas where you want a shadowed effect, like the crown or hairline.

• Blend: Using the brush, blend the colour into your roots in small sections for a natural fade.

• Blow Dry: Blow dry the product into your hair to set the product and dry it so it stays.

Pro Tip: For a truly natural-looking shadow root, apply the Blending Brush in layers, allowing each layer to dry before adding more. This helps control the intensity of the dark blonde shade and ensures a natural, multi-dimensional effect.

4. Combining All Three for a Multidimensional Blonde Look

For a truly multi-dimensional blonde shade, you can use all three products together to create depth, texture, and seamless coverage. Here’s how to do it:

Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Start with the Blending Brush: For depth and dimension, use the Blending Brush at the roots to cover those greys but also add a soft shadow effect. The darker shade adds richness and dimension, blending the blonde for a more natural look. After applying, blow dry the product into the hair. 

2. Next use the Airbrush Root Spray in Blonde:  After applying the Blending Brush, use the Airbrush Spray for areas that need additional coverage or where you want a quick boost of blonde. The spray adds a nice blend and provides a quick fix.

3. Finish with the Root Smudge: Touch up your grey coverage with the Root Smudge wherever you are, with its compact, on-the-go packaging. Making covering greys easier than ever.

By layering these products, you’ll not only cover grey roots but also achieve a sophisticated blonde with natural depth. The key is blending the products well to avoid any harsh lines or colour differences.

Final Tips for the Best Grey Root Coverage:

• Less is More: Start with a small amount of product and build up the coverage if needed. It’s always easier to add more than to take away.

• Keep it Fresh: These products are designed to temporarily cover greys, so reapply as needed between washes.

• Experiment: Don’t be afraid to mix and match the products to create a blonde shade that suits your style. Each product complements the other, giving you the flexibility to customise your look.

With the Josh Wood Colour Root Touch Up range, maintaining your blonde shade between salon visits has never been easier. Whether you’re covering up grey roots or enhancing your blonde with dimension, these easy-to-use tools will help you achieve a fresh, natural look in no time.
