Before and after: The Root Smudge can breathe a new lease of life into tired blonde hair between salon appointments

Formulated by the world’s leading hair colourist — Josh Wood — the iconic Root Smudge product was recently recognised by the 2024 Marie Claire Awards as the Best Colour Product.

And fans are equally as obsessed with results, saying: ‘Best solution to my ageing hair EVER! No mess, easy peasy application, takes seconds! Perfection.’

Another user was equally as enthused, saying: ‘The root touch up is amazing. I have tried many but this is the best by far.’

Suitable for use by beginners and experienced hair dyers alike, the travel-friendly product couldn’t be simpler to use. Housed in a chic compact with a mirror for on-the-go application, simply buff the double ended brush into the powder and sweep into the roots.

For best results, the root cover up should be applied to wet hair, then blow dried in for results that last up to three washes.

Available to purchase in three shades, Blonde, Brown and Dark Brown, the product is suitable for different hair types, and has been praised by customers for its ‘natural colour and finish.’

Blonde beauty: Users love the refreshed look it gives to highlighted hair

‘Just started using the brown Root Smudge, what a game-changer for me,’ one happy shopper exclaimed.

‘As Im now 60 and still wanting to maintain my brunette hair colour, this item is fantastic for being able to prolong having to use a semi permanent hair colour.

'I've worked out in a complete year I only need (to use) five to six boxes of colour, far less than the 10/12 boxes I used to use, saving my hair’s good condition.’

Another agreed, simply adding: ‘Root Smudge works brilliantly, the double-ended brush is great on hairline and partings. So easy to use.’
