I have been using Magic Root for over 15 years. I have tried others, just to compare, but I always came back to this product. I read some of the negative reviews, and I am not sure if it's because everyone's hair is different or if I use a certain technique that makes it work perfectly for me. I am 58, and have been graying since 25! I use this to extend my color treatments to avoid over processed hair. Here's how I use it: 1. I dry my hair completely. 2. I create parts to target my grays only. 3. I give a very light spray of Amika or Moroccanoil dry shampoo directly into those parts. I feel that this is a good base for which to spray on color and have it last, as well as keep it on my hair and not my scalp, which tends to get oily by day 3! It also creates a nice fragrance for my hair, as the Magic Root does not have any scent. 4. I shake my Magic can for a solid 10 seconds as most liquid products will have various ingredients that settle differently. 5. I learned to hold my hair down to best see the grays, and to spray using brief strokes, holding the can at least 3 to 4 inches away. If I accidentally oversprayed a spot, I merely rub it in with my finger tips and then wash them off with soap and water. That's it! Again, I've been using this product for a very long time so while my technique may sound comprehensive, it takes me approximately 2-3 minutes to part, lite spray dry shampoo, re-part, flattening the area to get targeted coverage, spray on Magic Root, and done! Sometimes, like on hard to see areas, I will lift the hair and spray up into the part. Most important for me, is to use short strokes of spray holding the can a few inches away. A thorough shaking of the can just before spraying is a must if I want an even, well-blended color, while disguising all gray strands. And while this does wash out with Shampoo, it has never gotten on my pillow case or even run onto my face or neck, even if I was sweating. I use the golden brown as I am a dark blond with light blonde highlights. My natural color is/was medium golden brown. I found that going one shade darker than my dark blonde color, enhances my contrast. Also, I have used this to correct erroneous highlights and/or to add darker highlights for a darker look. IMO, it is a great product and part of my routine hair care. I hope this review is helpful!

I've used many root touch up products but find this one to be superior to most others I've tried. It sprays on evenly and matches my hair color very nicely. The nice thing is that it doesn't make my hair feel dirty at all and looks so natural. The cans are small enough to travel with, yet last a long time. A very good value for a great hair product.

Unfortunately I got the wrong shade of blonde to help me out, but still I did use it as a test and the results are great, covering the white hair 100%. BUT, some points to consider: once you applied it the only way to remove is washing your hair. Also where you spray the product the hair becomes really thick and hoarse to the touch, yeah you won't be able to brush/comb. And then we have to deal with the spray nozzle that makes kind of challenging to match. All in all it is a good product but I guess it takes practice to make perfection ;-)

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 actually use it for a different purpose...as I've aged my hair has thinned. It is shocking and horrifying. But, I found that this stuff covers up all my thinning areas, I feel so much less self-conscious and much more confident. Thank God I found this stuff, it's always in my purse and bathroom!

While this works, it’s VERY DIFFICULT to spray it in a way that doesn’t make it look crazy at the hairline. I find using black eyeshadow in the hairline more natural looking. Also DO NOT wear those stuff on a rainy day. It rained and got into my eyes and began to burn much like a sunscreen does. It ran black down my face at an outdoor wedding. I probably won’t buy this again.

Merci
