Blending is in.

You may be familiar with the term “blending” in the context of hair color. Blending is when you don’t choose a shade that’s too light or too dark, but instead opt for something more subtle (and more flattering) like auburn hair dye. With this technique, you still get to have highlights, but they won’t look so harsh and unnatural as they would if you were to go with a lighter or darker color.

Think about it: blending is in! It’s one of those trends that has been going on for years now and shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon. It’s not just an option anymore—it’s become standard practice for most people who want their roots touched up every six weeks or so.

Try a temporary root cover up.

If you’re looking for a temporary solution to hide your roots, try a root cover up. A root cover up is used to temporarily conceal regrowth in between colorings and is applied before any other hair products. You can also use it as a quick fix if you’re experiencing some regrowth after getting your hair colored or highlighted and want to camouflage that section of hair until it grows out again.

Root covers usually come in the form of spray or cream, but they all serve the same purpose: They match your natural color and tone so that you can blend them into your existing hairstyle without needing any special styling techniques (you should be able to just run your fingers through). They’re available with various shades of browns, reds and even black—so finding one that works for you should be easy!

The best part about using root covers is that they don’t require any extra preparation time before applying them; instead, all you have to do is shake them well before using them (the most common mistake people make when applying these products is not shaking enough). Because these products are meant solely for covering gray hairs or new growth around an existing color job—not actually changing anything about how their original style looks—they won’t have any adverse effects on either condition once washed out completely with shampoo after use.”

Talk it through with your stylist.

When you’re getting root touch ups, it’s a good idea to talk with your stylist about what kind of color you want. When possible, bring in a picture of the color that you’d like. Your stylist can help guide you toward the best shade for your hair type, and if there’s any question as to whether or not the product will work for your roots (especially if they are dark), he or she may recommend another product instead.

Have two different shades on hand to do touch ups — one for fading and one for fresh coverage!

When you’re getting your roots done, think about two different shades of auburn hair dye. The first is what you want to use to cover up the roots that are already there. You’ll need this shade if you’re doing a full head of color, or if it’s been awhile since the last time you had your roots touched up (or got them done at all!). This will help keep those pesky grays hidden while also making sure all of your hair looks uniform and healthy.

The second shade should be slightly lighter than your natural color. It’s perfect if you want to maintain an ashy tone without going too dark; this way, when the dyed part starts to fade after another month or so, it’ll leave behind just enough dark pigment where needed without losing sight of what’s underneath it all!

Give yourself at least 3 days between touch ups to let the color settle in and to blend any harsh lines naturally.

If you are like me, this tip is going to be hard for you to follow. I am a go-go-go type of person who likes things done well and quick. When it comes to my hair, that’s usually not possible as it takes quite a bit longer than other beauty treatments like getting my nails done or waxing!

I often have my roots touched up every 2 weeks because I love having bright red hair but also because I do not want anyone seeing the roots and thinking “what happened?” when they see me out with friends or family members. That being said, I still try very hard not to go over 1 week between root touch ups so that when they do come back in, they are less noticeable than if they were done at longer intervals (more on how I get rid of them here).

To blend when your color grows out, try applying the darker shade just at the top of your head where roots will show.

To blend out your roots, try applying the darker shade just at the top of your head where roots will show. This technique is a bit tricky, so here’s what you should do:

• Wash and condition your hair as usual
• Use a brush (not an applicator bottle) to apply the dye only to your roots
• Let it sit for 3 minutes before rinsing well and styling as normal

To keep your hair looking great when you’re growing out your hair color, there are some things you can do to make sure it’s not noticeable until you’re ready for fresh color!

You can minimize the growth-out period by getting root touch-ups at least every six weeks or so. Your stylist will be able to tell you how often you need to do this and what color works best for your hair type, but generally, it’s best to match a shade that’s similar to your current color.

If you’re growing out your hair color because you want to change up the style or go back to blonde, consider getting two different shades on hand. This way when it comes time for a touch up, the line between where old color ends and new begins won’t be as visible! A great way to make sure they blend seamlessly is by using an ammonia free full spectrum lightener like Clairol Natural Instincts Medium Ash Brown #9N (which is also permanent).
