While we fully support embracing gray strands and letting those shots of silver peek through, we understand if you'd rather hide them. Thankfully, there are far more options available these days than there were just five years ago. Instead of resorting to consistent salon visits or sticky hair mascara, there are now a variety of formulas that effectively — and impressively — conceal those sneaky gray hairs. Discover our favorites when you read on.
Color Wow Root Cover Up
This velvety powder comes in seven shades but beautifully blends into a wider range of hues thanks to the multitonal color in each compact. Its water-resistant formula won't betray you and your gray strands if you get caught in a sunshower.

L'Oréal Paris Root Cover Up Temporary Gray Concealer Spray
If you don't have time to book a salon appointment to tint your gray roots, grab a bottle of this at your local drugstore. In just three seconds, you can quickly conceal grays with this temporary color spray — and it even effectively hides signs of thinning, too. You can find it in six different shades.

Oribe Airbrush Root Touch-Up Spray
If the iconic Oribe aroma of bergamot, jasmine, and sandalwood doesn't lure you into this touch-up spray, the convenient, purse-sized packaging will. The airbrush-like tinted formula does double duty as a texturizing dry shampoo, so your roots will look impossibly fresh.
Madison Reed Root Touch Up
Available in seven shades, this powder compact comes with a densely bristled brush to seamlessly apply and blend pigment onto your grays. The transfer-proof formula stays put no matter how much you sweat.
Rita Hazan Root Concealer Touch-Up Spray Temporary Gray Coverage
This waterproof spritz comes in five colors to provide natural coverage. The formula is lightweight and nonsticky, so you won't feel any crunchiness in your hair.

John Frieda Root Blur
We love that each of the four color options of this product comes with two shades so you can custom blend your perfect hair hue. Try it after a blowout — you won't need to touch up until your next shampoo.

Everpro Gray Away Temporary Root Concealer Spray
The tiny nozzle of this powerful concealing spray allows you to get super close to (and spritz) every gray strand to make it look darker and thicker. Though it's only available in three shades, it effectively blends into an assortment of colors.
