L’Oreal Paris Magic Root Cover Up Gray Concealer Spray Dark Brown 2 oz.

First my disclosure, i received this product from l’oréal paris, an opportunity given to me through bzzagent which i am very thankful for. This is my honest and unbiased review of l’oréal paris root cover up in dark brown. My results are my own and may be different depending on the person.

As a busy, mom, woman, college student, daughter, human there is either never enough time or money to get things done. When it comes to the topic of hair coloring both time and money apply. As i get older i notice that my once raven colored hair now has sprinkles of “natural glitter” around my temples. I have my very own “silver lining”. Okay, to be honest i am lucky enough where my white, they skipped grey those darn overachieving follicles, are at my temples and bang area mostly. Those that make it to the back of my head are covered with a layer of color that is not white, grey, or silver. My natural center part is still full of color. So i can get away with not coloring my hair for a bit longer then let’s say my older sister. This product was perfect for me.

Having this product means that shelling out $20 for two boxes of hair dye can wait a bit longer and that $20 can go towards something else, like my daughter’s 31-day bus pass that she uses to get to school. Not so much now since it is summer but you get the idea. As a parent we make sacrifices on our own wants so our children can have what they need, sometimes their wants also. This is why the new l’oréal paris root cover up is so fantastic. It is wallet friendly, quick, and a mom’s new tool in her beauty arsenal.

This little blue canister of magic contain 2.0 oz (57g) of fast drying, root covering, no more grey/white awesomeness. Are you sensing that i love this product, because that is the vibe i want to give off. I don’t want to give off the idea that this is some sort of permanent hair coloring in a can. No, this is temporary and will wash out after a few shampoos. You are still going to need to color your hair eventually but it will be when you have both the time and money to do it. This is a quick fix, a much needed life hack that makes it life a little bit easier for you.

This product come in 6 colors; black, dark brown, light to medium brown, red, dark blonde, and light to medium blonde. I recently watched a woman review the product in red and she mentioned that not a lot of companies make this type of product in red. That is really cool and exciting if you have red hair. L’oréal claims that this product is “3 seconds to flawless roots”. Now i did not time myself but i know that it took way longer than 3 seconds for me to cover my roots. This may be due to my inexperience with the product and i kind of scared to actually press the button. It’s a new product that i have never use and i was learning how to maneuver it, my daughter thought i was hilarious while in the act of “root covering”.

I shook the product, held it from the target a good 4-6 inches and slowly depressed the button. A cold burst of colored product shot out. I repeated the process 2 more times in the same area, put the product down and inspected the area only to find matte dark brown color along with my natural and colored hair. I was happy, very happy. Okay, so the fact that it is matte is not so great, i would have loved it if the product were a shiny like hair is normally, but since it is at the roots i don’t think it really matters to me. There were no drips for me but when i searched for reviews on this product i read and saw that some women experience product dripping while some did not. I think it has to do with how you spray the product. If you purchase this product try quick short bursts, you can always add more, you can’t take off less.

I also found that this product dries quickly which is very nice. I do not mean immediate though, so if you touch the area right after you spray it your fingers will come away with color. More like 30 seconds, and the color will not rub of. Also, i was able to brush through my hair after i applied this product. If any of you have ever applied that can of hair color that is sold during halloween you know that those products are more like colored hairspray. You cannot get your fingers through your hair let alone a brush. This product is not like that at all. I was able to brush through it and my hair fell naturally into place. I had to check if there were any more visible white hairs that needed to be covered. There were none.

Overall, this product is a good investment. Like i stated previously it is a much needed life hack that needs to find its place in the lives of busy women, but i think anyone male or female could use this. There has to be some men out there who want to cover some grey/white hair put do not want to actually dye their hair. I would recommend this product to anyone who wants a temporary reprieve from eyeing their “glittering” hair in the mirror but does not have the time or the funds for that project. Plus, you do not have to use the entire canister of product to cover your roots. I may go out tonight to purchase a canister for my sister to make her life a bit less hectic as well. It will be the gift that keeps on giving.

I love this stuff. I use the light brown but it’s still quite dark, but i like it because it makes my root area look darker. It’s pretty easy to use, but you do have to practice to make it go on evenly and not make a dark spot on your part line. It works best when the can is newer. I don’t know why everyone doesn’t use this, i use it for a few weeks before coloring again.

L’oreal paris magic root cover is an easy way to hide the gray; it’s very simple to use, a simple spray, and the coverage is complete. One caveat, which bears mentioning, when i spray on the side(s), i always use a small cloth to protect my pillow, as there will be discoloration.

It helps covers the gray i use a darker color. To look like streaks.
It stays till you wash it or the roots grow out. Love it!.

This product helps me cover my roots as they grow out so my visits to the beautician are less. Much needed and loved.

I use this product between colorings. Be mindful, i does get under your fingernails if you were to scratch your scalp. But for the most part , does a good job covering up gray roots.

I have used this for over 3 years and love it. I have a gray area and have had it since i was 21. I was paying $100-200 every 8 weeks to get my hair colored but then would need to use this after 3 weeks! So i stopped getting it dyed at all and now just use this. I don’t wash my hair daily so i only use after washing and it stays for multiple days!

I’ve tried several options for touching up the routes. This has got to be the easiest and simplest. I highly recommend taking a pencil (eyebrow pencil, lips, etc.) and placing over your part if you have one before you spray. No need for exact match to your color as this will match near enough to your color which makes us an easy option.

Easy to use and does the job. No more white roots.

Price went up but we love this product. Covers all the grey hairs and fills in slightly bald spots or thin hair give an allusion of full scalp.

Not sure what i was expecting with this but it’s not what i thought. This is basically the same stuff you spray in kids hair at halloween. It makes your hair feel dirty and if you run your fingers through your hair it will be on your finger. I mean it does cover the roots. Just not something that i’d buy again. To each their own. However. Let me add. It does work good for thinning spot that you want to cover up.

Covers ok, but don’t swipe your hand over your head. Then, don’t pat/rub your mother-in-law’s white dress at her wedding. Use jerome russell instead.

This should be the color i was going for—it is at least 2 shades darker than i anticipated. It is easy to use.

Only is a little bit challenging to spray on the spot it can get smugly if you are not careful otherwise is a good spot grey hair cover-up.

Great to use for in between hair salon appointments and new growth.

Love the thin nozzle. Good coverage. Wish it was water proof

Greet shade — dark blonde— wish there was more product. Sprays out really strong and is used up quickly. Nice for travel but i use another brand at home due to cost.

It was not blonde. It was dark brown. I ordered two cans and would like to exchange for a light blonde

This product is great for covering roots!
The only thing i don’t like is it tends to get a bit crunchy & builds up in hair/scalp. That being said, it does wash out easily when you shampoo. Overall, great product!

I’ve been using this product for a while, and it’s okay. However i’ve used ones that are cheaper, hold more and are just as effective. These should be cheaper because they don’t last long.
