I have to redo my roots every two to three weeks because my hair grows out enough by that time that I start getting the "skunk stripe" look.

Surely others don't get their hair colored so often--so what is the secret to hiding roots as they grow out?

I'd like to go to a salon and get professional coloring, but there is no way I can afford that every two to three weeks. So unless I can find a way to hide my roots, I'm stuck dyeing my hair at home.

This was suggested by another poster here, but instead of re-touching my roots every 3 weeks, I'm using Natural Instincts Color that lasts about 24 shampoos, and actually allows my roots to be much less noticeable, if at all.

I noticed when I just colored with the NA, that it left my hair incredibly shiny, healthy and full of body. No damage, and actually seemed to act as a deep conditioner to my hair. Also, you only have to leave the color on 10 minutes (20 minutes for resistant gray hair).

I'll re-touch my roots with my permanent color in another month (30 days after using Natural Instincts), and plan on only using permanent color every 2-3 months from now on.

(I use the color Sahara -- my color is a medium/light ash blonde).

body and volume.... blow dry your hair upside down with lots of hair spray and volumizing products.....big hair hides roots.. also, you could try zig-zagging your part

Zigzagging works for me. Also, there are brush on mascara like cover ups as well as a crayon called "Tween Time". It's works very well as long as you don't let your roots go too far before coloring. It washes out but I've used it in a pinch and my hubby thought I had my hair re-done!

Both can be found at Sallys.
