And when the roots are white or graying, and you want to conceal them, "you must then apply color at the root to hide them and on top to redo a few strands 2 to 3 times lighter. In order to give nuance, contrast, and a very natural side, like a hair that has been patinated by the sun on the lengths and ends" add the expert.
