Getting your Trinity Audio player ready…

This year will be the year you finally learn how to color your hair at home. Or at least how to give your tresses a quick touch up.

With non-essential businesses like hair salons closing shop to help stem the coronavirus pandemic, we’re left to tackle grown out roots on our own.

And while there’s nothing wrong with flaunting your gorgeous grays like actress Tamera Mowry-Housely. Treating yourself to a fresh color job, however, may help you maintain a sense of normalcy during these unusual times.

So to help you stay true to your signature hue, below we’ve rounded up fool proof sprays, powders, and color-depositing masks for concealing your roots.
