Red colour depositing shampoo/root touch up

6 replies

I'm really struggling to find a solution for my very light roots which emerge after only a fortnight of having a full head of reddish-brown colour. I'm a natural redhead but have been losing pigment since my 20s, so my natural colour is now almost white in places. I feel too young (and lack the confidence) to pull off just growing it out.

I loved Josh Wood's brush pen product, and Botanicals red colouring depositing shampoo and conditioner, but both are discontinued.

Does anyone have any non-sticky/grubby looking solutions for disguising my roots please?

The Superdrug colour effects shampoo-in colours are good - very cheap, too. There are a couple of reddish brown shades.

I like the Maria Nila conditioner masques - I use the bright red one, but autumn red might work well for you.

Fantastic, thank you! Certainly worth a try at that price.

Thanks, that looks like a good option. Think I'll try the £1.99 Superdrug suggestion and go from there.

Second the Superdrug suggestion. I use those and gets lots of compliments on my red/brown hair

Just ordered some. Fingers crossed that doesn't get discontinued too!
