If you’ve been following a while you will know that I love to travel.  Whilst I LOVE being a blonde bombshell, I’m also one of those girls who really hates having their hair done.  (I know shock horror)

Every four weeks or so I get a scalp bleach but when travelling it can be a little tough to get someone to do this.  And lets be honest I don’t have the skills or desire to do it myself.  I know having dark roots is ‘in’ but I’m just not a fan of that look on me.

After being in Nepal I spent Christmas in the UK and because I didn’t book a gazillion months in advance I just couldn’t get an appointment. Because. Christmas sends everyone festive crazy.

This led me on the hunt to conceal my roots which felt black against my bright blonde hair.  I found this at Boots UK & I’ve heard it’s also available at Priceline for all those Aussies.    Was I skeptical about this, YUP.  But desperate times my friends.  Lucky this stuff was amazing and totally saved day.

Firstly, I sticky taped my phone to a mirror and made a tutorial video. High end tech haha. Or scroll for photos

It comes in a cute compact with a brush and two shades.  I only ended up using the lightest shade.

You apply it like this.  SO EASY.

 

As you can see the results aren’t the same as getting your hair done but I totally rate this as a good cover up to get you through.

Since I made the video at Christmas John Frieda has come out with a few new shades (see below) or click the images to be taken directly to the site where you can check it out.
