    I know there are lots of products around for this at the moment and I have tried most of the new ones however none of them compete with my Roux one, its about 5 years old and still some use left in it, its like a stick that you just wet and apply to the gray bits until you visit the hairdresser.

    I use the Root Touch up dye. Its great aroung the front of hair and on middle parting. Gets me an extra 3 weeks before I have to go to hairdresser. And its always on offer in Boots.

    Does it leave your hair sticky?

    Making notes of all of these. I found the "lipstick-style" one didn't really work - I had to wet it a lot and then really scrub it in...not very effective.
