Black Root Touch-Up Hair Colour Stick

Gray roots have a way of arriving before the appointment does. A twist of this stick lays black paste exactly where regrowth shows, and the comb beside it softens the edges until the line disappears into your own colour.

The paste is built on mineral fat, hydrogenated polyisobutylene and synthetic candelilla wax, so it glides along the parting rather than dragging. Press it onto the roots, comb through to even the tone, then blow-dry: the hair lifts into a fuller shape while the colour sits lightly on the strand.

It is a temporary fix, made for the morning of a meeting, the second week of a work trip, or the stretch before a salon visit. The 50g stick is compact enough for a handbag or desk drawer, so top-ups take a minute rather than a rebooking.
