How to Layer Josh Wood Colour Products for Salon-Fresh Hair, Every Day

Just like skincare or makeup, hair colour works best when you layer it right. From the first application to the final shine, here’s your no-fuss guide to building your perfect colour routine

Step 1: The Foundation 

This is your starting point. Our Permanent Colour Kits are salon-level colour, made easy for you to use at home. They’re packed with bond-building magic and nourishing ingredients, plus rich, multi-dimensional shades created by Josh himself.

Start at the roots, then work through the lengths. Section your hair for even coverage and don’t skip the gloves (things can get messy—in a good way).

Step 2: The Concealer 

Life happens. Greys happen. But your colour can still stay fresh between dye days.

Our Root Touch-Up range is perfect for those “just need a little fix” moments:

  • Root Smudge – A temporary powder that blends greys instantly (like makeup long lasting eyeshadow, but for your roots)

  • Blending Brush - Paint your greys away with Blending Brush. For lasting coverage, up to three washes.

Step 3: The Protection

After colouring, it’s time to nourish and protect.

Step 4: The Highlighter 

  • When your colour looks flat or dull, a gloss is your go-to glow-up. Think of it like highlighter for your hair—adding depth, tone, and luminosity.
