Brush or Bottle?

Getting ready to touch up my roots for the first time since dying it. What is easier to do this, brush or bottle? If I do use a brush and bowl, is there a place to measure the developer and color in the bowl? Going to Sallys today. Thanks

I use a brush and bowl to do my roots and am happy with this mehod, but have never done it with a bottle before so can't comment on which is better. I use bleach on my roots, so I like the brush because it seems to smooth things out and get the application nice and even.

The bowls at Sally's do have measurements inside of them, but the one that I have only has the measurements for the larger amounts. I don't use too much product for my roots, so I use a cylinder (about $3 at Sally's) instead. It has tick marks for smaller measurements (I believe mine goes by cc and oz) and also has marks in between each measure. For me, this tends to be more accurate than using the bowl.

Good luck! :)

Definitely brush. I have only used to bottle to dye my hair darker, but I like the brush much better. I feel like the bottle will drip and the brush gives me precision which you need with bleach.

Glad it worked for you.  I like the no fuse mixing with the bottle.
