Maintaining Hair Color with Gray Away

Easy Maintenance For Your Hair Color with Gray Away

July 9, 2020 · In: Lifestyle, Momlife

This post was sponsored by Gray Away as part of an Influencer Activation and all opinions expressed in my post are my own.

Life is insane, especially right now. So much fun is to be had during these summer months, but it also can be a little chaotic. Having ways to keep things in check and easily maintained is a must for me during these months. One thing that I like to keep in control are these gray roots. Here is an easy maintenance for my hair root color in between sessions!

Maintenance Hair Color with Gray Away

Getting to a salon may be a task.

I know we all experienced the most recent drought of hair salon visits. Some may not even be open yet while others may need to wait for longer periods of time to keep things safe with social distance in mind. No matter the situation, those of us who suffer from those dreaded hair roots don’t want to see them everyday. What’s the big deal about those gray hairs?

Self care is my sanity.

Self care is finally becoming more of a priority for me. Taking care of myself helps me be a better person to all those who are in my life. Hair maintenance is one of those self care essentials for me along side a quick spin session. I feel so much better when I have color over those gray hairs. It is a self care event that needs to occur about 1 time a month. I can push it out to 2 months, but that is really pushing it. So how do I make it work when I am unable to get to a salon? Gray Away is how I make it work.

Maintenance Hair Color with Gray Away

Keeping those gray hairs at bay with Gray Away.

Within 2 months from visiting the salon, I am unable to pull my hair up completely into a ponytail without showing off those gray hairs. Mine are the worst along the front of my face. Pulling my hair up becomes less of an occurrence as those gray roots begin to shine. Life can be hectic and finding the time to get to a salon can be a challenge. Gray Away products are fantastic in covering up gray roots.

Hair Maintenance before Gray Away application

What is Gray Away? Gray Away offers an affordable, salon-quality root concealer product that you can use at home. It is the perfect addition to an on-the-go lifestyle. They have two different products that I stand behind:

  • The Temporary Root Concealer Spray is a revolutionary breakthrough in hair care that gives you the fastest and easiest way to touch up and cover gray roots by spraying directly where you need it.
  • The Root Touch-Up Quick Stick provides ultra-targeted gray root coverage at the hairline and eyebrows, and is dual-ended with an angled tip for precise application. It even has a sponge tip for effortless blending where you applied the root coverage.

How does it work?

These temporary root concealers are so easy to use. When you are ready, just part your hair to the section where the gray roots are obvious. The Temporary Root Concealer spray can be applied, then allow to fully dry before styling. That’s it!

The Root Touch-Up Quick Stick reminds me of a concealer stick that you would use when applying makeup. It is super easy to apply. As with the Temporary Root Concealer, part your hair to the section where the gray roots are obvious. Apply the Root Touch-Up Quick Stick to those pesky gray hairs like you are coloring on the color. Then use the other end of the stick with the sponge to help blend in the color. Again, that’s it!

Grays have nothing on Gray Away!

It is great to have products like Gray Away when life keeps you from visiting the salon: kids, quarantine, etc. Just because life gets too crazy, doesn’t mean you can’t still keep up with your hair maintenance. Take care of you and that hair without life getting in the way! Grab your Gray Away products from Walmart!

Did someone say Dubai Chocolate Brownies? Yes inde Did someone say Dubai Chocolate Brownies? Yes indeed! These are not only crave worthy and simple, they beat that price! One of the key ingredients: @kelloggsus Frosted Mini Wheats.

1 box of brownie mix
1 - 1 1/2 cups Frosted Mini Wheats
3 tbsp unsalted butter
1/4 cup Tahini
8oz jar Pistachio Cream / Butter
1 - 11oz bag of semisweet or milk chocolate morsels 
1 tbsp coconut oil 

Bake brownie mix according to box, making sure to line pan with parchment paper. Melt 3 tbsp butter in a saucepan and add the Frosted Mini Wheats. Stir and crush up Frosted Mini Wheats with spoon. Cook on low-medium for 2-3 minutes and remove from heat.

Add the tahini and pistachio cream to the Frosted Mini Wheats mixture. Once brownies have completely cooled, add the Frosted Mini Wheats mixture to the top of the brownies, reserving a little in a ziploc bag for decorative topping later.

Melt the chocolate morsels and coconut oil in increments, making sure to stir to prevent burning. Once completely melted, pour on top of the Frosted Mini Wheats/Pistachio mixture. Then add the decorative touch with the left over mixture before placing it in the fridge to set. It will take about an hour to fully set!
