Style Edit Root Concealer: Spray, Powder or Stick? How Each One Works
Short answer: Style Edit sells its root concealer in three formats: a Root Concealer Touch Up Spray for wider areas, a Root Touch-Up Powder for precise touch-ups, and a wax-free, cream-to-powder Root Cover-Up Stick for the hairline, temples and brows. All three are temporary and sit on the hair until it is washed. We did not test them; the facts below are from Style Edit's own product pages, read on November 14, 2026.
The three formats at a glance
| Format | Size (brand site) | Shades listed | Style Edit says it is for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Root Concealer Touch Up Spray | 2.0 oz (brunette), 4.0 oz (blonde), 0.75 oz travel | Black, Dark Brown, Medium Brown, Light Brown, Auburn, three blondes | Wide-area coverage of gray roots and regrowth |
| Root Touch-Up Powder | 0.13 oz (brunette and red), 0.14 oz (blonde) | Black and three browns, three blondes, three reds | Precise, buildable touch-ups |
| Root Cover-Up Stick | 0.11 oz, dual-ended | Black, Dark Brown, Medium Brown, Light Brown | Roots, temples, hairline and brows |
Style Edit also sells a fine, tapered Root Touch Up Brush to use with the powder, and many bundles that pair two or three formats.
The spray
Style Edit describes its Root Concealer Spray as a lightweight formula for natural-looking coverage that "won't smudge, flake, or feel sticky." The ingredient list on its site starts with propellants (Hydrofluorocarbon 152a, Butane) and silicones, with mica and fragrance. A spray covers a wide area fast; it is less precise near the forehead and ears, so protect skin and clothes.
The powder
The Root Touch-Up Powder is described as ultra-light and buildable. On the brand site its ingredients start with talc and silicones (methicone, dimethicone), with mica, titanium dioxide and iron oxides as possible colorants. Powders are the most controllable option for a part or temples. See pressed vs loose root powder.
The cover-up stick
The stick is wax-free and cream-to-powder, and Style Edit lists roots, temples, hairline and brows as uses. A stick suits single grays and the hairline more than a wide part.
Which one for which situation
| Situation | Usually works best |
|---|---|
| A wide gray part or crown | Spray |
| Part and temples, precise | Powder |
| Hairline and a few single grays | Stick |
| Travel | A travel spray or a compact powder |

How to use any root concealer well
- Dry, styled hair, with the part where you will wear it.
- Light layers, building up only where gray shows.
- Protect skin and clothes with a spray, and keep it away from the eyes.
- Brush off excess and check in daylight.
- Wash out with your next shampoo.
Always follow the instructions and warnings on the pack of the product you buy.
