Gray hair regrowth can sneak up faster than we’d like, turning our sleek color jobs into a patchy reminder of time. Salon visits every few weeks aren’t always practical—or affordable. Thankfully, using a temporary at-home l touch up product that comes with a gray hair color brush offers quick, seamless gray hair coverage without the mess or hassle. Here’s everything you need to know about how to apply hair color with a brush like a pro.
What Is a Gray Hair Color Brush?
A gray hair color brush is a compact tool designed for precision application, helping you target pesky gray roots and regrowth. Often found in root touch-up kits, it is meant to deliver targeted, mess-free color application so that it can help tide you over I
Benefits of Using a Gray Hair Color Brush
Quick and Easy Application
No need to recolor your entire head. These brushes allow for fast touch-ups along the hairline, temples, and part line. However, make sure that the formula you are using is compatible with the brush thickness, material and type to avoid dripping or over application.
Targeted & Precise
Make sure that you choose a brush with a narrow design that can ensure color goes exactly where needed, minimizing product waste.
Natural Finish with Nourishment
Premium brushes like the one in KIWABI's Root Vanish collection work perfectly with the hydrating gel formula that is infused with botanical extracts that leave your hair soft, never dry.
How to Apply Hair Color with a Brush: Step-by-Step
Step 1: Prep Your Hair
Make sure your hair is dry and clean before applying. The brush-on color is ideal for touching up visible grays along the part line, hairline, or temples.
Step 2: Dispense the Product
Click the bottom of the pen to pump the product into the brush applicator. Each bottle holds up to 100 clicks of product, and only about 2 clicks are typically enough to cover your entire part line and face line.
Step 3: Apply with Precision
Simply brush on the gel-color to areas where you want coverage. The lightweight formula blends seamlessly into your natural color, so spot-application is perfectly fine—it won’t stand out or look patchy.
Step 4: Let Dry
Allow the product to dry before styling. You can use a blow drier to set the color more quickly and for a soft finish. The formula is non-transferable and stays in place until your next shampoo.
Step 5: Build if Needed
For deeper coverage or additional touch-ups, you can layer the product. It’s designed to be buildable without creating stiffness or flaking.
For those looking for more comprehensive coloring, explore our Color Shampoo and Color Treatment—perfect for enhancing tone and maintaining vibrancy between touch-ups.
Tips for a Flawless Gray Root Touch-Up with the Gray Hair Color Brush
Touching up grays has never been easier - or more elegant. Here’s how to make the most of your KIWABI Gray Hair Color Brush:
-
Use Natural Light for Precision: Natural lighting helps ensure a perfect match with your existing shade, especially when working on small root areas.
-
Apply to Towel-Dried Hair: For optimal adherence, use the brush on clean, towel-dried hair. This prevents dilution and helps the color bond better.
Choose the Right Product for Lasting Results
While the Root Vanish Color Brush offers a quick, convenient, and beautifully natural temporary fix that washes out with your next shampoo, those seeking longer-lasting coverage may prefer the Root Vanish Color Shampoo or Color Treatment. These options build gradually and offer results that can last for days to weeks, ideal for more sustained gray blending.
Common Mistakes to Avoid with the Gray Hair Color Brush
Even with an easy-to-use tool like ours, there are a few things to keep in mind:
-
Using Too Much Product: A little goes a long way. Start light and layer if needed to deepen the tone—just like applying a second coat of polish.
-
Patchy Application: Blend carefully to avoid visible lines. Use soft, even strokes for a natural finish that melts into your existing color.
-
Incorrect Shade Choice: Choose a shade that matches your natural or dyed hair. When in doubt, start with a lighter tone—you can always build depth.
