Hair Rescue: How To DIY A Root Retouch

The likelihood of a second wave of coronavirus gives us even more of a reason to stay at home once again. Although socially distanced gatherings are okay, a visit to the salon may be too risky for some.

It seems like DIY projects are the theme for this year as we’ve had to let go of some services. Hairdressers were closed for several weeks during lockdown leaving us with overgrown hair.

Although many of us have visited the salon recently, the need for a root touch up will come soon. It would be best to keep safe in the next few weeks, so we’ve listed the best products for your specific at-home root solution.
