Cannot get hair done before wedding

I usually get my hair done every month, colour etc. gutted as I have a wedding on Friday and cannot get into the hairdressers. Anybody used any temp colours or am I just being ridiculous. Had hair done 4 weeks ago

I thought you were going to say it was your wedding! I wouldn’t do a home colour if you’re used to salon.

If you're not the bride YABU. Most people go way longer than a montg, I'm sure it'll be fine. I wouldn't be reaching for a box dye, much better to source another hair dresser if it can't wait.

Try wow powder

Definitely don't do a box dye, it could react with the hairdresser's dye when you're next there and cause you massive problems.

This might sound like a silly question but it will help people suggest options - why do you dye your hair? Is it just because you like the colour or are you covering lots of grey? Are your roots a dramatically different colour?

If you are covering grey, then get a touch up spray or powder, they work really well

If you are going to have a line of white hair at the root, get another hairdresser to do it.

If not, leave it and wait till your hairdresser can do it.

It’s blonde and I do have a few greys, any root touch up sprays/powder recommendations would be great!

I like Bumble and Bumble or Moroccan oil dry shampoo spray they come in a range of colours. Quick spray covers my grey and don't transfer as much as the cheaper ones. Colour wow another excellent one

I used L'Oreal Magic Retouch sprays over lockdown (also blonde), they were fab and could get them easily in Sainsburys.

Wear a fascinator.

Got to a decent chemist and get the spray root touch ups. If it's only 4 weeks since then I think you are overthinking this and you will be perfect with a bit of spray / pretty hairband etc

TopGolfer · 30/08/2022 12:51

Could you have a play around with your parting to hide the roots? I wouldn’t mess about with home colour.

I think I’m just getting flustered as all the women seem to be booking in for spray tans, hair, makeup etc. I haven’t done any of that.

Don't worry about that - I didn't even do that for my own brother's wedding last year! I did go to a little local salon for an up-do (because I'm dyspraxic and I style my own hair like I don't have thumbs 😅) but I did my own make up and the most exciting product I put on my body was deodorant.

I'm sure you'll look lovely on the day!

Is it 2004?

Do not be tempted to box dye! Clairol Root Touch up powder is good and comes in a little box with mirror and brush to touch up throughout the day if you need.

Danglife · 30/08/2022 13:31

I’ve ordered one, thanks ladies 🥰
