How do I redirect just my home page?

I switched URLs and am redirecting each page to the corresponding page on the new site. My site was relatively small, so I just used Redirect 301 / for each page. I'm to the point where the Redirect 301 / is set up for all of the pages except the home page. For example:

Redirect 301 /blog http://newsite.com/blog
Redirect 301 /page-name http://newsite.com/page-name

For the home page I tried to use:

Redirect 301 / http://newsite.com

Which works, except for it redirects every single page on my old site to the home page and overrides all of the other 301 redirects I set up.

I imagine this is fairly simple but I couldn't find anything googling. Also, please let me know if I'm setting up the 301 redirect incorrectly.

Thanks

You need to use RedirectMatch directive for this to target specific URL

RedirectMatch 301 ^/$ http://newsite.com

RedirectMatch supports regex as opposed to Redirect.
