A precision brush, made for those in-between days — created by a Sydney Northern Beaches colourist who wanted an easier way to soften the look of greys between appointments.
Wash out touch-up, until your next colour appointment day.

Week four is when it turns up — that line at the part you catch in the car mirror on the way to drop-off. Your colour appointment is a fortnight away. This buys you the fortnight.
A precision brush, not a spray and not a powder. It goes exactly where you put it, blends into natural or highlighted hair, and holds through the day. One shampoo and it is gone. It is not a permanent colour and will not change your base colour.

Free post Australia-wide, with no minimum spend.
Ingredients (INCI), as declared by the manufacturer:
Isododecane, Hydrogenated Styrene/Isoprene Copolymer, Trimethylsiloxysilicate, Isododecane, Acrylates Copolymer, Quaternium-18 Hectorite, Triethyl Citrate, Phenoxyethanol, Isohexadecane, Quaternium-18 Hectorite, Triethyl Citrate, Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Parfum, CI 77891, CI 77492, CI 77499, CI 77491
CI 77891 is titanium dioxide; CI 77492, CI 77499 and CI 77491 are iron oxides. These are the pigments that give each shade its colour, so the ratio differs between Sandbar, Driftwood and Headland.
Patch test 24 hours before first use. Apply a small amount behind the ear or on the inner arm and leave it. If you notice redness, itching or irritation, do not use it. Avoid contact with the eyes. Keep out of reach of children. For external use on hair only. Contains methylparaben and propylparaben as preservatives, and fragrance (parfum).
Short downward strokes along the part and the temples, following the direction the hair falls. The brush is narrow on purpose.
Let it set before you touch it or style over it. That thirty seconds is the difference between it holding all day and it ending up on your collar.
One shampoo and it's gone. It sits on the hair rather than in it, so it never builds up and never changes your base colour.
I’ve been colouring hair on the Northern Beaches for years, from my little boutique salon in Brookvale, where I see just one client at a time.
Over the years, I noticed the same thing — those few weeks between colour appointments when greys, roots and flyaways start to show.
So I created something simple for those in-between days. 🤍
A little precision brush, made for hair.

Not once it's set. Give it the full thirty seconds before you touch it or style over it, and go lightly if you're caught in rain or heavy humidity. It's designed to hold through a normal day and come out in the shower that night.
Match to the colour of your lengths, not your regrowth. If you're between two, go lighter.
Yes. It sits on the surface of the hair rather than penetrating it, so it won't lift, shift or stain your existing colour, and it won't interfere with your next appointment. Patch test 24 hours before first use, as with any cosmetic.
It's built for regrowth at the part and temples — the first stage of grey, not a full head of it. If you're more than about 40% grey overall you'll get a better result from a colour appointment, and we'd rather tell you that than sell you the wrong thing.
Six to ten weeks for most people, using it two or three times a week between appointments.
