How to quickly cover gray hair without dyeing: simple life hacks

If you’ve got gray hair and don’t have time to dye it, don’t panic. There are simple and effective techniques that can help you disguise light strands in just a few minutes – without damaging your hair or dramatically changing your look. We at joy-pup offer simple life hacks.

Use root concealers

This is the fastest and most reliable way to cover gray hair before leaving the house. Make sure your hair is dry and styled before using. The following work best:

• root coverage sprays;
• hair powders and shadows;
• spot mascara.

They instantly cover gray hair, look natural, and wash out easily with the next wash.

Change your parting or add volume

Sometimes a simple haircut can make gray hair virtually invisible. Before styling, try:

• making a side or zigzag parting;
• lifting the roots with a hairdryer;
• adding subtle waves or texture.

Volume and movement draw attention away from the lighter strands and create a more modern look.

Conceal gray hair with accessories

Stylish accessories are not only a fashionable accent but also a great way to hide problem areas.

Quick help:

• headbands and wide headbands;
• silk scarves;
• barrettes and decorative pins.

This technique works especially well if gray hair is noticeable at the forehead or temples.

Use a toning dry shampoo

If your hair has lost its freshness and gray hair has become more noticeable, a toning dry shampoo does two things at once. It:

• refreshes your hairstyle;
• adds volume;
• slightly darkens gray strands.

Choose a shade as close as possible to your natural color – this will ensure a natural-looking result.
