Bald spots and uneven hairline happen to many of us. But it doesn’t mean you can’t wear your favorite slicked-back hairstyles anymore. Temporary hair coverage like root powder, hair mascara, root spray, or touch-up sticks can help. And even if you don’t have those, we know a simple trick to achieve a defined hairline on red locks.
Hair blogger and natural redhead, Kirsty Elizabeth, dishes on her life-saving hack for an uneven hairline using a rather unusual product – her old bronzer. The hair community is overjoyed because the trick makes fine strands look thicker with no effort at all.
The content creator makes a hairline powder out of her solid facial bronzer by crushing the product and stirring it gently with a makeup brush. She then covers the brush in the powder and applies it on her hairline, targeting the areas where the scalp is visible through the hair the most. The bronzer conceals thinning hair, making any hairstyle look flawless.
The technique is really simple. Some may even call it hair makeup because, well, the idea is quite the same. You need to work your brush through each section in a sweeping manner as if you blend your eyeshadows. Pro tip: When dealing with any root touch-up products, don’t forget to cover your face and clothes before application to avoid the mess.
The golden tint of the bronzer compliments copper hair color, enhancing its richness and shine. The soft texture of the DYI hair powder targets the scalp, so it blends in smoothly, just like a regular root powder. Many online users praise the hair blogger for the brilliant hack and share their favorite root cover-up tricks, too.
“I’ve been doing this for years (but with brown eyeshadow),” one follower explains. “I needed this trick so bad during my postpartum hair loss era,” another user joins in. “Redheads you can use blush to cover roots, for hairline, or greasy bangs,” a comment suggests.
While this hack is a great confidence boost for those dealing with thinning mane, it isn’t some sort of a beauty must-do, and it definitely doesn’t make your hair thicker. So, if you find this life hack useful, you’ll also appreciate a couple of hair care tips for a healthy scalp and stronger locks.
When the wash day comes, remember that a good clarifying shampoo is the first step toward a clean scalp. Try some pre-shampoo treatments to open up hair cuticles for better nourishing and hydration. Hair oils are also great for this particular purpose as they contribute to hair growth and balance scalp pH.
