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

Grey roots can be such a nuisance when they grow in, especially with Brown hair that shows the greys more. And going to the Salon every few weeks to get your greys covered is time-consuming and expensive. The Josh Wood Colour Root Cover range helps to seamlessly blend and cover grey roots at home, offering a range of easy-to-use, salon-quality products. 

In this blog, we’ll tell you how to cover your grey roots using the Josh Wood Colour Root Smudge in Light and Dark Brown, Airbrush Root Spray in Brown, and Blending Brush also in Light and Dark Brown. 

1. Root Smudge in Light Brown and Dark Brown: Precision for Root Coverage

The Josh Wood Colour Root Smudge in Brown is the best product to help blend your grey roots into your existing colour. The Root Smudge helps offer long-lasting, targeted coverage with its double ended applicator. 

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. Switching from using the larger or smaller applicator depending on how precise coverage you want. 

• Blend: Gently tap and blend the product into the hair to create a smooth transition. The formula blends well into the Brown tones, leaving no harsh lines.

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 Brown: Quick and Easy Touch-Ups

For a speedy fix, the Airbrush Root Spray in Brown is a the perfect tool to grab as 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 Brown 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. After spraying, you can brush through your hair with the Josh Wood Colour wide-tooth comb to help blend the spray 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 Brown and Dark Brown:

The Blending Brush in Brown 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 Brown shade. 

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 along your grey 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 all day.

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 brown shade and ensures a natural, multi-dimensional effect.

4. Combining All Three for a Multidimensional Brown Look

For a truly multi-dimensional Brown 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. After applying, blow dry the product into the hair. 

2. Next use the Airbrush Root Spray in Brown: After applying the Blending Brush, use the Airbrush Spray for areas that need additional coverage or where you want a quick boost of Brown. 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.

The key is blending the products well to avoid any harsh lines or colour differences, but to create a natural, multi-dimensional Brown Shade.

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 Brown shade that suits your style. Each product complements the other, giving you the flexibility to customise your look.
