Lockdown really does bring out hidden skills in people doesn't it? Eva Longoria, for example. Mere weeks ago she took to Instagram to show us all how adept she was at covering her grey roots up in seconds (see the mesmerising video for yourself right here). All it took was touch of precision spritzing and an impressively effective root concealer and they were gone! Oh and, to be clear, we weren't talking about a subtle little peppering of silver hairs either. Eva wasn't shy when it came to showing off a very noticeable white line of root regrowth around an inch thick either side of her parting and along her hairline.
A few days later and the lady's back again with another video, this time showing exactly how she set about tackling that silver root regrowth with something a tad more permanent.

She kicks off the video by voicing a thought process so many of us go through on the regular when it comes to greys. Eva says 'At first I thought, OK greys, I'm ready to see you, I can handle this, but I'm not. I am not ready for this much grey.' At this point she picks up a box of L'Oréal Paris Excellence Crème Hair Dye & Colour, £6.99.
I've never been this grey in my life. I don't think there's going to be a better before and after
'I've never been this grey in my life, I don't think there's going to be a better before and after!' Eva exclaims, before setting about applying the dye to her hair in sections.

'Just put it where it's needed', Eva adds as she massages the formula in. She waits 30 minutes before rinsing it out and conditioning, which she cites as her favourite part because of the smell. Eva rough dries her her, and there's not a grey in sight! If anything is likely to encourage you to give at-home hair colouring a try, it's this video.
