How to Cover Up Your Roots: Pump Up the Volume

To really pump up the volume, you can also try teasing your hair or using a volumizing spray. Find out more ways to add volume to strands here.

How to Cover Up Your Roots: Dry Shampoo

Use a dry shampoo based on your current hair color (white powder for blondes and brown for brunettes or an invisible option for all hair colors), to not only add body and lift, but also to disguise those roots until your next wash.

How to Cover Up Your Roots: Smart Styling
