Frequent travelers know that packing your toiletries requires a lot of consideration. After all, the last thing you want is to be miles away from home without your essentials. One beauty staple that is oftentimes overlooked on packing lists is root touch-up products, which can be used to refresh your hair color in between salon visits. However, most formulas aren’t exactly travel-friendly, since many come in aerosol spray cans and loose powders. Well, that was before the Style Edit Root Touch-up Binding Powder came onto the scene.
Wondering why the brand name sounds so familiar? It’s the one behind the Root Cover-up Stick that Marisa Tomei recently gave her seal of approval. She showcased her love for the product, which offers waterproof, non-sticky gray coverage with its mess-free and long-wearing cream-to-powder formula, in a video with Vogue where she revealed it’s a mainstay in her morning routine.

It also ensures seamless and long-lasting gray coverage thanks to its special mineral-infused binding formula, which features self-adjusting color adapting pigments for a perfect shade match. The budge-proof root concealer is also designed to withstand wind and rain, so you can confidently embark on your trip itinerary for the day without worrying about it running or fading.
The Root Touch-up Binding Powder is available in 10 shades, including dark brown, black, light blonde, and medium red. And, according to more than 2,400 fans, it’s easy to apply and caters to a variety of hair types and textures. Just use the sponge applicator to pick up the product and apply it along the root line working outwards for an instant touch-up. It’ll stay in place until your next shower and easily washes out with shampoo.
