Dry Shampoo

Dry Shampoo Dry shampoo is a great way to add volume as well as freshen up any oily roots. While it’s not necessarily one of the ways to hide your roots, it can help make them less noticeable in a pinch. Oily roots will only accentuate dark roots and flatten hair, but if you use some dry shampoo to help soak up the oil and it give it texture, it’s much less evident and it’ll help you get through the last few days. Now if you can get your hands on a dry shampoo with a hint of color, it’s much more effective at blending away roots.

Blur the Lines

Blur the Lines If wearing your hair down is your go-to hairstyle, you’re probably aware that your part can emphasize dark roots. The quickest way to fix this is to change your part. Trade in your perfect part for a messier one that’ll help disguise dark roots. Hairstylist Matt Fugate suggests styling your hair as usual, flipping your hair over and coming up slowly so your hair falls forward and you get a messy part.
