It’s day who-knows-what of self-quarantine. You look in the mirror and those roots are coming in… real quick.<\/em> Coronatine has closed your salon for obvious reasons, but you can’t stand the sight of your grown-out roots. Whats a girl to do? Well, you really have two options: you can let them run wild and free, or become your own colorist. But where to start? I spoke to LA’s best colorists to get the skinny on coloring at home<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

While there’s nothing wrong with roots or even a few grays – I happen to think grey hair is very pretty – some of us prefer to keep the color fresh at all times. Celebrity stylist Justin Anderson<\/a>, who works with Margot Robbie and Brie Larson to name but a few, suggests reaching out to whoever typically colors your hair for advice on picking the right shade. (And since we’re in unusual times, it may be nice to send them a few bucks via cash app) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the guidance of your stylist, doing your own hair can actually tun out great! Not to mention its so much cheaper than a salon visit. Justin’s brand DP Hue<\/a> has a whole range of root touch up products which are ideal for at home touch ups. I’ve been using the Blonding Brush<\/a> – $28.00 when I travel for long periods of time…it really is my lifesaver! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Top colorist Dustin Osborne<\/a> from Blown Salon<\/a> in Beverly Hills suggests an ‘in shower’ treatment to restore vibrancy and shine. ‘‘It’s best to use no ammonia & for those with dark blond\/light brown hair \u2026 consider the Kirtsen Ess Range<\/a> from Target’<\/em>‘. The Signature Gloss treatment is super affordable at 14.00USD. Dustin is an expert in all things color and has worked on movie sets all over the world – making color changes in quick time! For Blond hair that’s become brassy, a cool purple tone shampoo & condition will really help also. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

An instant trick of mine is to use dry shampoo on the roots – this adds texture and also hides my root line. There are some great colored dry shampoos out there now – my favorite is the Batiste<\/a> one…its super cheap and does a better job than the expensive ones in my opinion. Don’t use too much though – a little goes a long way<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since I started doing Balayage I get great milage out of my hair – I can go 8 weeks or more between colors – This saves time, money and helps limit damage! Some girls even get THREE months out of their color…talk about time saving. If you are blond, maybe consider this look – it’s also super fresh and modern. It also works great for darker hair if you are looking for some contrast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While it can seem daunting to do your own hair if you are not used to it – have no fear! Here’s a throwback from 2016 – during a phase of doing my own highlights. I get so many people changing my hair on set…sometimes I get fed up & just want to do things my own way. This look was created using a toothbrush and box kit from CVS pharmacy; not bad if I do say so myself lol. Less is more when it comes to highlighting\u2026its nice to leave a bit of root if you are blonde as this adds dimension – and gives you more time between colors. NOTE I am already blond so this transition isn’t too hard – going from a very dark color to blond is best left to the experts. Keep radical color changes for when quarantine is over. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ultimately if you are too scared to dye your own hair – you can always cleanse\/tone it and restore some vibrancy that way. Another product I LOVE is Malibu Hard Water <\/a>– this demineralization treatment is great value $24.00 for 12 sachets – I use this once a month on the ends (ONLY the ends) to pull out all the minerals and build up – it works SO freakin good! Only downside is it can make hair a little dry so be sure to condition afterwards – still totally worth it though. The water in our showers is a key reason that color turns brassy – the minerals build up over time and need to be removed. I have a special filter on my shower head that removes a lot of these minerals – can’t recall the name of it but there’s a few on the market. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A little beauty glow up always makes me feel good! If you have any tips please share- I love to hear from you guys. Don\u2019t be afraid to give it a go and do your own hair for now\u2026 you might be pleasantly  surprised with your own efforts! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
