Ruth Langsford shares ‘magic’ solution for touching up roots in-between hair appointments
Ruth Langsford joked that she no longer needs her hairdresser thanks to this 'magic' solution

There’s no feeling that compares to having a really good hair day.
And while there are plenty of tips and tricks that can emulate salon-worthy locks at home, from the one-minute styling trick that will instantly boost volume to repairing hair masks that actually work, it can sometimes feel like nothing can give your locks the perfect colouring like a trip to the hairdresser.
That was until Ruth Langsford shared her secret to re-touching roots without needing a full appointment. Taking to her Instagram, the beloved presenter showcased the ‘magic’ behind maintaining her blonde locks.
In the video, Ruth shows how much her roots have darkened and tells followers that’s her natural colour coming through. Without needing a full touch up, her and her colourist, Josh Wood, worked in some Blonde Smudge and Spray, and you could see the results working right away.

Another added, "Fantastic product! Love it. Particularly great for my blonde highlights when I get to the 6 week stage. Another high quality product from Josh Wood."
