Volume is your friend.
Every four weeks, my grays become unbearably apparent against my almost-black hair.
One line of defense is to use one of the manyroot cover-up productsthat exist.
Volume and texture are also your friends.
Adding volume to your locksis the foundation to any hairstyle that will hide your grown-out roots, says Story.
Using somehairsprayor root powder at the root can also help, says Nicholas.
Its all about creating an optical illusion.
Apply some oil for extra body and volume, then seal it all in with hairspray.
Rope Braid Top Knot
Cardona is also a fan of this creative take on thetop knot.
Then pull hair into a high ponytail and secure with an elastic band, he says.
Once secured, divide the ponytail into four sections and twist two strands into a rope braid.
Repeat with the remaining two strands, then secure each braid with an elastic.
Wrap them all together into a high bun and secure in place with bobby pins and hairspray.
Youre left with a very detailed-looking bun thatll also help hide your roots, says Cardona.
Headband
Consider turning to your collection of hair accessories to cover up your roots.
Headbandscan seriously come in handy if you have roots, says Taylor.
High Bun
Another updo thatll do the trick is a high bun, says Brook.
Try leaving the ends out and shape them into a faux bang, she tells Bustle.
Neon Roots
If you’re feeling bold, play around with some temporary dye.
Add a neonpop of color to your roots, says Brooks, pointing to Billie Eilishs former look.
This will allow you to experiment without the commitmentandhide those grown-out strands.
Instead of a straight part, play around withzigzag partingto complement your blowout, says Story.
Add tight curls with loads of volume, suggests Brook.
