Magic Root Gray Hair Cover Up, Vibrant Red, 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.

Great color, easy to use, like the brand. Always buy this hair color.

This product does a very good job covering gray roots and blending with my hair color. The color looks natural, and the coverage is impressive. It is a quick and convenient solution when I don’t have time to color my hair. However, I do want to mention that it can be a little messy to use. I have long hair, and after using it, I noticed some of the color transferred onto my driver’s seat. It can also come off on my hands whenever I touch my hair. The good news is that it washes off my hands easily with soap and water. I also noticed some color transfer onto my shirt, although I have not washed it yet, so I cannot say whether the stain will come out completely. Because of that, I would recommend being careful when spraying and allowing it to dry thoroughly before touching your hair or wearing light-colored clothing. Overall, despite the messiness, the product works very well and does exactly what it is supposed to do. I would purchase it again because the coverage and convenience outweigh the minor drawbacks.

A great root touch-up spray for covering gray hair. It works very quickly and does an excellent job. I really liked it and definitely recommend it. I also found a color that matches my hair perfectly.

Love this! Gives you full coverage in between colors.

This is a good product. It will however come off on hands and clothing if there is any sweating or rainy conditions.

Does not offer an opaque coverage. Gave the gray regrowth a little color, but not much.

Darker than expected. Not medium to light brown.

producto vacío, no trae color, mejor comprarlo en supermercados, parece mercancía defectuosa.

L'Oréal Paris Root Cover Up is the best quick fix to cover grey and fast i love it and tell everyone about it I Tested this product for free and will be buying it for between dying my hair #RootSavedMe!#itryeditfree#influenster.com i tested the product for free, but all opinions are my own.

Quick and easy use, but need to hold it away from your head to cover in a better fashion.

I was skeptical this would work, but it is absolutely amazing! Covers my greys in such a natural tone (I bought dark blonde). Only thing I am not wild about is the stiffer kind of feel my hair has in those areas I sprayed, but I can still style my hair as I want, and it lasted a couple of days until I shampooed. I am growing out my hair from blonde to my natural colour (dark blonde with some grey), and this will help with the transition nicely, I think, especially if I want a more glamorous look with hair pulled back for an evening out. Love that I have some fun, temporary options to get a little different look and feel with my hair.

NOT recommended.
