Top Root Touch Up Sprays for Effortless Hair Maintenance
We all hate that feeling when your colour is due and your regrowth is shining as bright as beacon and you have an important event or work presentation to do.
But don't worry, because at Sable, we've got you covered with our range of Root Touch Up Sprays. We're here to break it down and help you find the one that's best for you and your situation.
Let me tell you about our Touch Up products:
Oribe Airbrush Root Touch Up Spray
This touch-up spray from Oribe benefits from rice starch ingredient that is great at absorbing dirt and oil, giving that dry shampoo-like feeling when using. It's lightweight, fast-drying and has an easy-to-use, mess-free applicator nozzle that makes it perfect quick on-the-go touch up. The coverage is buildable, so you decide how much you want, and it comes in Blonde, Light Brown, Dark Brown, Black and Red. It is the premium option in our range and the one we reach for most in the salon.
What We Love: This spray provides natural coverage and a dry shampoo effect.
Shades: Blonde, Light Brown, Dark Brown, Black, Red
Formulation: Spray
Size: 52g
For those looking for the best coverage, we recommend the L'Oreal Hair Touch Up Spray. Being a colour company, they understand regrowth. Their formulation ensures the best coverage, especially for those with a lot of regrowth and grey hair. It's the 'wettest' of our selection, which means you'll need to let it dry, but the result is long-lasting and you can get days out of just one application.
What We Love: This spray can cope with covering a lot of regrowth.
Shades: 6
Formulation: Spray
Size: 75ml
Colorwow is the only product in our range that comes in powder form instead of spray. It's perfect for those who find sprays too fiddly or messy, and it's great for creating the look of thicker hair. It's also water-resistant, so you don't have to worry about your touch-up fading after a midday swim.
What We Love: In addition to concealing roots, it makes hair look thicker.
Shades: 5
Formulation: Powder
Size: 2.1g
So that is the break down of our range and to help you even further we have given awards to our favourites.
Best Platinum or Light Blonde Root Touch Up Spray
Oribe Airbrush in Blonde - The Blonde shade goes on soft and builds, so you can keep it light on platinum and paler blondes instead of ending up with a hard line at the root.
Best Red Root Touch Up Spray

Things to consider
It's important to note that when selecting your colour for root touch-up, it's best to choose a shade that matches your overall hair colour as closely as possible rather than your highlights. This will ensure a seamless blend between your roots and the rest of your hair. Additionally ask your hairstylist or colourist for guidance. They can help you choose the right shade and application method for your specific hair type and colour. Or leave send us a message and we can help you out.
Are you looking for ways to hide your dark roots? It can be a bit tricky, especially if you have a balayage or lighter hair colour. One thing to keep in mind is that you'll need a root concealer with enough pigment to cover up the darkness underneath. So, sheer formulas might not do the trick.
Are you worried about hiding your grey roots? It's not as difficult as you might think. A trick to cover tricky grey patches or the odd streak of grey you can spray it into the cap and use a small makeup brush to paint it on. If your grey roots are stubborn, you can use a highly pigmented touch-up spray like L'Oreal for better coverage.
I hope I could help you with your root touch-up questions. Feel free to drop us a message if you have any more questions.nRemember, with the right products and techniques, you can easily tackle roots and pesky greys to keep your hair looking fabulous.
