Hair mascaras are temporary hair colors designed to cover gray roots, touch up between coloring sessions, add highlights, or control frizz and flyaways. Available in many shades, these products wash out with each shampooing session.
To use hair mascara, separate a section of your hair and streak it with the color you desire. As it dries, the product will blend in seamlessly with your natural hue.

Temporary!
Mascara for Hair Flyaways
Hair mascara is a temporary (washable) solution to add temporary (and washable) color to the scalp for various uses. Like eyelash mascara, hair mascara comes in a tube with a thin wand for combing through hair to add color and create different styles – from covering gray locks or adding highlights/lowlights, to touching up roots between haircuts or adding an unexpected pop of color for special events!
Hair mascara comes in an assortment of vibrant hues that can be streaked for temporary highlights to achieve an eye-catching up-do. Unlike permanent dyeing techniques, however, this form of application washes out easily without leaving behind any color residue behind.
If you find yourself struggling to control flyaways, a bit of clear hair mascara may be just the thing! Coat a clean mascara wand with several drops of this product and then use it to smooth through any flyaways before combing through them for maximum control before an important meeting or event. This trick is especially effective at controlling frizz before key events!
Another effective solution to flyaways is using heatless products to tame and smooth your locks. A small dab of multipurpose balm like Vaseline, Jurlique Love Balm or Nurse Peppy Healing Balm works wonders when it comes to smoothing flyaways without using hot tools. You could also try running an old toothbrush through your locks to smooth any unruly strands, or applying some clear gloss as an added measure to keep flyaways at bay and stop them sticking together with the rest of your locks.
If you are struggling with grey hair or beard hairs, a high quality hair mascara could be just the solution! Brush on within minutes for instantaneous coverage that washes away with shampoo. Also perfect for adding subtle highlight or controlling an entirely grey beard!
Mascara for Eyelashes
Hair mascara can be your go-to solution if you prefer streaks and highlights, as well as covering gray roots or thickening your lashes if that’s your goal.
Sandy Ganzer of Makeup Artistry for Less (MACL) recommends this non-toxic mascara made with conditioning shea butter and beeswax to provide a natural full effect without smudging or flaking. “This mascara is great for short lashes that need an extra bit of volume,” according to Sandy Ganzer; creating a “fabulous natural look without becoming overtly dramatic”.
Ganzer has highlighted Merit mascara as a winner in both volume and lengthening categories, according to its unique tubing formula, which coats each lash with tiny tubes for extended appearance (it’s lightweight enough that you can remove it with warm water, without needing cleanser!). Furthermore, its flexible wand makes reaching hard-to-reach areas like inner corners easy.
Burran and Slunjski both recommend this volumizing mascara, which boasts stunning full effects with its jet-black pigment that creates bold, long lash effect and its bristles designed with shorter bristles that help separate each lash to prevent clumping. Plus, its formula features nourishing ingredients such as lanolin, honey extract and marine collagen for softness and strength – perfect!
While we appreciate the lash-growing powers of peptides, vitamins, and other plant extracts found in most lash growth products, many contain harsh chemicals that may be difficult to remove completely – potentially leading to irritation or dryness in sensitive eye skin. Covergirl offers an effective yet gentle daily mascara solution containing only cosmetic-grade ingredients made specifically for delicate eye areas.
Its rich formula contains hydrating castor oil, olive oil and vegan waxes to promote eyelash health while you wear this mascara. Plus, there is vitamin B5 and C supplementation as well as red clover extract and biotin to fortify their growth while providing length and definition – creating the look of full, lush lashes!
Mascara for Gray Hair
Hair mascara is an easy, inexpensive solution for hiding grey roots and locks. Water-resistant formulas typically last 24 hours of continuous wear; each strand of the mascara contains pigment that works to cover gray hairs while conditioning ingredients help strengthen and nourish it further. A range of shades are available so it will match up perfectly with your natural hue; suitable for all hair types including beards, sideburns, moustaches and eyebrows!
Before applying your hair mascara, be sure to brush through it to untangle any knots or tangles and use a separate comb so you do not accidentally spread the mascara to other parts of your scalp where moisture exists – as mascara smudges easily! Additionally, section your locks before beginning so as to facilitate even application without clumps forming in any areas.
When choosing a hair mascara to cover graying locks, be sure to select a shade that closely resembles your natural color or go for something darker for added contrast. Apply sparingly as too much may create a heavy appearance that won’t blend in seamlessly with the natural shade of your locks.
After applying mascara, it is recommended to spritz your locks with some hairspray to help set and maintain its color throughout the day. This will prevent it from fading or running and ensure its optimal look!
Hair mascara may provide a quick and easy solution for covering up grey hair in an emergency, but long-term coverage should be sought elsewhere. Mascara was created specifically to extend eyelash length, which may not provide sufficient coverage or natural-looking effects; furthermore, its chemicals could potentially dry and damage your locks, so avoiding such products whenever possible would likely be best advised. Instead, consider investing in a specific grey hair coverage product like a spray or product instead.
