14-Day Shade Match Promise

Not sure about your shade? If it isn't right, tell us within 14 days and we'll send you a different one.

What makes it different?
  • Unlike root sprays, it won't mark your collar or leave your hair stiff
  • Unlike hair fibres, it covers grey as well as thin-looking spots
  • Unlike dye, it washes out with your usual shampoo
  • Water- and sweat-resistant, and it won't transfer once set
  • Mirror and puff are built into the compact, so it lives in your handbag
Which shade should I choose?

Pick the shade closest to your hair colour, or the colour you dye it. There are 13 shades, including dedicated Grey and White. If it's not right, the 14-Day Shade Match Promise has you covered.

How do I use it?

Style dry hair as usual. Press the puff lightly where the grey shows first, then build up if you need more cover. A light tap looks most natural.

How does the Shade Match Promise work?

If your shade isn't right, email support@tryrootsy.com within 14 days and tell us which shade you'd like instead. We'll send it out to you.

Rootsy is a cosmetic product. It temporarily covers the look of grey roots and thinning areas. It does not dye, treat or regrow hair.

Three weeks after your colour, the greys are back

You don't need another appointment. Tap Rootsy along your parting, temples and hairline and the grey blends into the rest of your hair, while thin-looking spots look fuller.

Powder, mirror and puff sit in one compact, so you can touch up at home, at your desk or in the car.

How does it work?

Rootsy is a tinted powder that clings to the hair at your roots and the scalp along your parting, so grey and thin-looking spots blend in.

On dry hair, pick up a little powder with the puff and gently tap where you want coverage. Start lightly and build until the colour blends with your hair.

It stays put until your next shampoo, then washes straight out.

Rain, sweat, pillow: will it stay put?

Will it last all day?
Yes. It stays on until you wash it out with shampoo.
What if I get caught in the rain?
It's water-resistant, so a shower won't make it run.
What about the gym, warm days or hot flushes?
It's sweat-resistant and stays where you tapped it.
Will it mark collars, hats or pillows?
No. Once it's set it doesn't transfer. Tap, don't rub.
Can I swim with it?
Yes, it holds in the pool too. Pat your hair dry afterwards rather than rubbing.
Is it messy?
No. The puff keeps it neat, and any stray powder wipes straight off.
