7 TIMES AWAY WITH THAT REGROWTH
Saves you some hours in the hairdresser's chair
For the first 28 years of my life, I completely ignored coloring my hair. It wasn't necessary, as there wasn't a gray strand in sight, and I was really terrified that I would have huge regrowth in no time. The result? Once you have regrowth, you obviously have to spend a lot of euros every month to keep it all in check. It seemed like a hassle to me. Last year, I finally gave in and went from really brown to quite blonde (to clear up any misunderstandings: I really wasn't gray, I just wanted to go along with a fashion trend that was happening). Have you colored your hair? Then you just get regrowth as a bonus. But I also got some good news as a bonus, because the girls from The Building say that regrowth is totally fine and that it's just part of your look. Yes, unless you have gray regrowth or a total chlorine version, then it just can't be. No, then you need to get rid of it as soon as possible. And you really don't have to immediately sit yourself in a hairdresser's chair, because with these seven tricks, you can postpone that visit (and thus your loss of all those euros) for a while.
1. Eyeshadow
This is really an ancient technique, but eyeshadow works great if you need to touch up your regrowth.
I wouldn't go for an eyeshadow with a metallic sheen or another exciting color, but for a matte color that fits perfectly. A slightly stronger eyeshadow is the Root Cover Up from Color Wow. With that, you can give your hair a color for a day. It's a powder that you apply to the roots of your hair with a brush, thus powdering the differently colored strands to the same color.
2. Change sides
Do you always wear your hair in a middle parting? You'll see that your hair has a different, more extreme regrowth there than in other places. So try wearing your hair the other way and move the parting to the side. Then you'll have less trouble with it. And because you're wearing your hair differently, much more attention will be drawn to that.

3. Hair accessories
To continue on that point of attention; you just have to make sure that something happens in your hair that attracts so much attention that no one looks at the regrowth anymore. Think of a crazy brooch in your hair or a scarf. Really, even on the catwalk it was popular. Totally allowed then.
4. Add texture to your hairstyle
Volume is actually the key word for everything. You feel much more cheerful because of it, your hair suddenly seems multiplied by ten, and it does a lot of good for your regrowth. It conceals a lot and the size of your regrowth seems much smaller.
5. Spray it away
This is art in a bottle. Think of it as a graffiti bottle, because with it, you can suddenly turn a boring wall into something artistic. The Hair Touch Up from L’Oréal Professionnel works really well. You can spray the regrowth away just like that, and it stays put even after a wash. So you could even dive into the pool with it if you wanted to.
6. The better braiding
On Pinterest, you always see those crazy braids where you see about 14 colors of hair mixed in. Well, that's just very well dyed, but there is also a hint of regrowth in there. A braid gives your hairstyle more depth and makes the regrowth much less visible.
7. Hair mascara
No, that's not immediately the nineties. Okay, a little bit. But choose a hair mascara in the color of your dyed hair. Masc-A-Gray (great name) is one of those products that covers gray regrowth (if you're gray) and it dries in a minute. It's also water-resistant. Oh, and handy, because it doesn't clump. So it's basically just a mascara that you always want to have.
