L'Oreal Paris Magic Root Cover Up Gray Hair Spray, 100% Gray Hair Coverage with Buildable, Lightweight, Transfer-Resistant, and Temporary Formula, Ammonia-Free, Dark Brown, 2 oz (1 Count)

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.

This is great when you just need a week or two to get you between hair appointments. The applicator tip means that you can spray it pretty much right where you want it. Washes out fairly easily. I like it to keep it handy for when I need it.

Pricey for the size but it works. It helps me cover my scalp as I have very thin hair due to androgenetic alopecia. It does rub off on everything so I have resorted to wearing black nail polish. It will also stain the back of your neck if you wear your hair down so be careful and carry wet wipes with you.

Works great on covering root and thinning areas. Just note, that when spraying, it sprays little droplets of color on counter, face and on clothing. On the clothing the stain does not come out.

This does a good job of covering my grey roots between professional brunette salon colorings. Doesn't seem to run - and stays put where sprayed - but if you touch your head with your fingertips it will rub off some.

Love this product and will be buying again, just not on Amazon. Rip off prices. Target has it for $6.99.

Although this is a great idea it is a miss for me. First, it is a very, very small can. I don't have it in front of me but it is maybe 4 inches high. Probably my fault for not reading how many ounces it is but I was surprised by this nonetheless. The reason this is significant is because there is not a lot of product in such a small can. I can say that it does cover well once you hit the area you are aiming for but it is very aerosol so shaking is necessary or you just get air on your hair. Reading other reviews, I wore protective gloves so I could work it through while it was still wet and they turned out to be a necessity. Unfortunately, it makes my hair very stiff and very gritty. Like after you go to the beach on a windy day and your hair is coated with salt water and sand. It also has a flat appearance. I use argon oil on my hair for sun protection but I really needed it after applying this. I cannot imagine using this once or twice a week because as soon as it is on I immediately feel like washing my hair. Such frequent use would run into a lot of money as well since the can is so small. Although I didn't wash my hair this morning I did rinse it out of my bangs. I just couldn't stand the feel of it and my hair was literally sticking straight up (exactly like in the film "There's Something About Mary"). I won't be purchasing this again and will use what I have as a last minute zap till the can is empty. However, it is equally effective and less eco-unfriendly to just tweeze a stray white hair.

Love how this spray fills in the sparse areas of my hair lines and colors in the part in my hair.

NOT recommended.

I received fast delivery and great and customer! So easy to use and buys a good bit of time between touch ups Great for a root touch up and cover those greys before they become too noticeable.

Super produit! Ça ne paraît pas du tout. Je recommande pour les petits endroits de cheveux blancs. Je ne pense pas que cela soit conçu pour de grandes portions de cheveux.

Very nice product

Cubre muy bien las canas, aunque debes utilizar suficiente producto. Si pones poco también te da una tonalidad muy bonita de la cana. Para mí estuvo muy bien.
