You can still see where my root line is in the photo taken from above, but if you look straight on, everything blends. It’s quite easy to apply as well, you just sort of tap the brush against the area you want to cover, and the powder comes out. You can also use it to cover the odd grey in your hair. This new powder comes in four shades – Light Blonde, Dark Blonde, Brown and Dark Brown. But how do they work? Charles Worthington had root concealers before, selling at the rate of one a minute, and now this new formula with brush is sure to sell the same way. At Charles Worthington, we’re on a mission to make every day your healthiest hair day - so you can truly love your hair.

For best results apply to dry, styled hair and set with hairspray. To prime, ( gently) tap the brush head firmly on a hard surface until powder begins to release. Wear a towel around shoulders to protect clothing. Section desired area and apply powder directly, steadily building and blending the colour to create even coverage. When I first saw these root concealing powders, what, a few years ago, I was sceptical. I couldn’t try them either, as my hair was scarlet red, and they tended to just come in more natural shades.Our team of experts know that the secret to hassle-free healthy hair lies in selecting and combining the best haircare ingredients that nature and science have to offer, to give your hair immediate results. I’ve used the dark blonde shade here, and it matched my hair really well. I’d say, if you have a big night out just before your next salon appointment, then give these a go. I think because my natural hair has a lot of grey in it now, the powder colour did grasp better. It is great that you can build the colour by applying more, as blonde hair tends to have lots of different tones. ( Whereas this has just one, flat one). Three decades of salon expertise and a passion for understanding women's hair has taught us that when your hair is at its healthiest, it’s at its best.

Admittedly, I got off to a bad start. The powder managed to work its way into the lid without me even opening it. It collected so much powder that it spilled everywhere when I did prise it open. As someone said above, the powder is indeed very fine and flies all over the place.It’s faintly, but pleasantly scented. The super soft brush, which is prone to splaying almost immediately is, in my opinion, far too big to accurately target regrowth.

But, since my hair makeover last month, my hair now falls into the more ‘normal’ category, so, when I was offered the chance to try the new Charles Worthington Instant Root Concealer Powder, I jumped at it!

GOODBYE GREYS

The magical technology, Matte Veil, ensures the pigment particles temporarily bind to each strand of hair. The technology works by harnessing the moisturisers in the formula to surface coat each of the powder particles so that, on application, they instantly adhere to the hair and when they are dispensed through the genius brush applicator, the pigments produce a thinly coated layer of colour.
