Conclusion For root touch-ups, in particular, explains celebrity hairstylist, Andrew Fitzsimmons, it's not just about trying to match the exact shade of your hair. “It's also important that you assess how different your dyed hair color may be from your natural one, which can determine the best type of product to use on your hair altogether.” Andrew Fitzsimons isa celebrity hairstylist who splits his time between New York and Los Angeles. His work spans editorial and commercial campaigns, and he's an expert in color blending and color matching for all hair shades, types and textures. What to Look for in a Root Touch-Up Shade MatchFirst, you want to gather all your hair in your left hand as if you were gonna make a ponytail. Hold it with your thumb and index finger as shown in the picture. In the Beauty Lab's permanent root touch-up products test, scientists dyed human hair samples in brown, red and blonde shades mixed with gray, then assessed initial gray hair coverage and shine using the Chromameter machine. Next, each dye's color retention was gauged by putting the dyed hair samples through 20 wash and dry cycles using the Swatch Wash Station and four hours of UVA light exposure with the Q-Lab QUV Accelerated Weathering Tester. Final Chromameter readings where taken, then Beauty Lab scientists assessed color change in the dyed hair samples to determine how well each resisted fading.

But what is at least equally important is the quality of your new hair accessory. No matter which material you buy, make sure that all surfaces are sleek. Have you ever heard of the term “bun drop”? It’s basically the action of letting your hair drop out of the bun in the most insta-worthy fashion.

Think about the way your hair breaks at that point where your hair tie holds your ponytail. Or how often bobby pins pull out some hair when removing them. Hair mascara isn't just for covering up grays: it's an easy technique to add a fun pop of bold color. Apply the wand directly to your hair and brush on some color. It's the most temporary dye, lasting just 1-2 shampoos. Find a good, clean eye cream with caffeine as an ingredient and choose a concealer two shades lighterthan your foundation and use as little as possible to start, building coverage as needed. If you have a warm undertone, you will look best in warm blush colors like peaches, corals, or orangey reds.If the veins on the inside of your wrists are blue and you burn easily in the sun, or are of fair skin you are cool. This is the one color selection you should make based on your hair color versus your undertone color.

While many things change about our looks as we transition from our natural hair color to gray, our undertone will notchange, and it matters more than ever now. Demi-permanent color blends gray roots into your dyed color and appears more translucent, Ikeda notes, with results lasting four to eight weeks. Semi- and demi-permanent color are less commonly used for root touch-ups because the regrowth may still be visible. Regardless of skintone, gold jewelry looks off with silver hair. If your gray is creamy vanilla, then you can wear gold. The same is true for makeup. Even if you have warm skin, hair color that has shifted to cool needs neutral makeup, not warm. Those mornings when I looked like an exploded pillow because I didn’t follow the curly girl method? No problem, I just put them in a bun!Blend out toward the edges and avoid using too much where creasing is a possibility, like the forehead.

Choose a bronzer or caramel shade of blush and apply directly under the cheekbone, at the temples, and along the sides of the nose for definition, contrast, and additional lift.

Your undertone is either warm, cool, or neutral, and regardless of your hair color, it determines what colors look best on you(both in clothing and cosmetics). Absolutely not!

"There is no possibility for damage." Just make sure you switch to a color-safe shampoo to preserve any temporary color. Now, don’t get me wrong.
