With everything seemingly getting more expensive, the first thing on the chopping block can be personal care – nails, aesthetics and hair appointments.
If the cost of heading to the salon every month to touch up roots and greys is starting to pile up, there’s a simple solution and it could save you thousands of dollars.
Aussie brand Done Hair’s Ultimate Root Retouch Kit is easy to use, time-saving and best of all, affordable.
You may have tried to touch up your hair at home in the past with limited success – we’ve all had a box dye nightmare, but Done’s kit couldn’t be easier.
It promises complete coverage of greys in just 10 minutes and you definitely won’t find that in a salon.
Each kit contains a precision applicator bottle, your personal colour, a developer, barrier cream, hydration shampoo, conditioner and a gloss treatment and it’s quick and mess-free to use.
Add the barrier cream around your hairline first, to protect your skin from any stains, before mixing the colour and developer together, and applying the formula to your roots.
Leave it for 10 minutes, and voila – now you can finish with some aftercare using the shampoo, conditioner and gloss treatment, and your colour will look good as new.
Best of all, the product isn’t full of harsh chemicals that can damage your hair, and is free from ingredients like ammonia and parabens.
The complete kit costs just $65, and you get up to two applications per kit that last around six weeks – with most people going to the salon every four weeks, that could save you roughly $2,400 per year.
There are five natural shades to choose from, ranging from Dark Blonde to Black and Done’s handy colour guide will ensure you order the perfect shade, but if not, the brand’s Colour Promise means you can get another colour free of charge.
On your first order, Done even throws in a complimentary mixing bowl and brush, and if you’re someone who likes regular root touch ups, opting for the subscription saves you even more per order and includes free shipping.
Fans of the product have been wowed by the results, with dozens of shoppers sharing how much time and money it’s saved them.
The comprehensive kit comes with an applicator bottle, colour, developer and barrier cream, as well as shampoo, conditioner and gloss treatment to nourish hair
This easy-to-use kit gives you 100% coverage of greys at home in just 10 minutes. Containing a comprehensive application kit and nourishing shampoo, conditioner and gloss, it’s available in five shades and colour lasts up to six weeks.

‘As a new mum, I have very limited time for salon visits and DONE has met all my expectations and exceeded them! Going grey at an early age, with now 70% coverage, I thought I’d give DONE a go, and the colour and treatment is salon quality,’ said one customer.
Another said: ‘Since becoming a mum I don’t have the time or money for regular salon visits. After seeing some greys in my recent photos, I finally worked up the courage to give it a go, and I am so stoked with the outcome.
‘The colour perfectly matches my natural colour and covered my little patch of greys,’ she continued.
‘Great results and quality and no doubt the best home hair colour I’ve ever used. Love that it completely covers resistant greys in minimal time. Also love the gloss my hair feels amazing!’ said another reviewer.
Done Hair founder Hannah Spilva created the brand to solve the problem of women spending money and countless hours on salon appointments to re-do greys.
The successful Australian haircare brand was founded by serial entrepreneur Hannah Spilva, quickly sold out of its two most popular shades when it launched on Adore Beauty.
The brand’s mission is to reinvent one of beauty’s biggest burdens, getting your roots done, which Spilva says is: ‘one of the most relentless, expensive and time consuming beauty routines.’
So not only can you get hours of your life back from salon visits, but money back in your pocket too.
