Covered my grays perfectly!

9 years ago

I have pretty dark hair, black with some dark brown. Since my hair is so dark my gray stands out right away and is just very noticeable. I get my hair (roots mainly) touched up every six weeks. I saw this product and was super excited to try it out! I tried the black color and instantly my grays were hidden!! I also tried the brown color and it blended beautifully! This has become a lifesaver as I don't always have time to get my hair colored and sometimes I want to give it a break. It sprays wonderfully, one just has to set it far enough away and spray evenly so there is no build up and mess. I haven't had any issues when spraying at all. It's kind of miraculous how it blends perfectly and disappears off the face if it makes light contact. Yes, it will smudge onto your fingers if you scratch, but it's not a severe issue. Once I brush it through it helps "settle" it. I LOVE THIS PRODUCT! Thank you LOREAL for creating it! I will have to come back to add pictures!

I am so upset right now. I have been using this product for a month and LOVING it. However, today some of the product leaked on my shirt as I was spraying. I immediately tried to apply stain remover, and have been applying more and more throughout the day. But this stain will not budge!!! One of my favorite tops is now ruined :( I really wish there was some sort of warning about this on the label. Because I never even considered this. Wear clothing that you don't mind being ruined while using this product!!!! Be smarter than I was.

Disappointed

3 months ago

I've used root touch up for years, however, most recently, it's terrible. Dries out my hair, makes it feel sticky, comes off all over clothing, pillows, etc…you can NOT touch your hair even hours or days after spraying it because it will be all over your hands. It feels sticky and cake-like on your hair. Absolutely disappointing root product on the market and the cost has gone up exponentially.

  Hi Sunlight! Thank you for your interest in Magic Root Cover Up. This is not a waterproof product. If sweat saturates the areas that the color is applied to, and you wipe that area, yes, the color will come off. Again, it is not waterproof! We can't say how it will react under a downpour of rain or excessive sweating. It has not been tested under these circumstances!

Rated 1 out of 5 by Wanda from smudges, feels chalky & difficult to apply I purchased to cover my roots on Christmas Eve, I covered my next and shoulders with a towel as instructed. It was difficult to get an even smooth spreading spray. It left dark spots.I used baby oil on cotton ball to remove over spray. My hair feels chalky and the color spray rubs off on hands even 4 days later so I have to keep washing my hands if I touch my hair so it doesn’t transfer to other things. This does not meet the LOREAL website claim that it dries and doesn’t rub off or smear. This is very messy and expensive since I won’t be able to use the rest of the product.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Rose from Great product, but... Love L'oreal magic root cover up permanent hair color. I have used it many time. Only complaint is I wish it was made for multiple uses, at least 2. I only ever use half and have to throw half away, which is a big waste if product. No my hair isnt short its long to mid back. I only cover top roots which is why it only takes half the bottle. I know there used to be a product that had a 2 sided bottle with the different products on each side that you could mix as you need it.

Rated 4 out of 5 by nicoles1248_4262 from Works good It definitely helps to cover the grey. Doesn’t match my hair color exactly, but it’s easy to use. Doesn’t have a horrible smell either. I’m letting my hair go grey or I would use it more.

Rated 3 out of 5 by jayas11_3424 from It works I like this product and it matches perfectly with my dark hair, great coverage but not impressed with the application process, it feels cold and nervous that color will go on my face. I also don’t like that the color gets on your finger if I accidentally touch my hair where I applied the spray.

Rated 2 out of 5 by yolandac1f77_5188 from Good for a quick root touch-up I was gifted the L'Oreal Magic Root coverup to try. I have to say the coverage was very intense. It covered the roots very well. The problem is that the texture was very dry and to be honest it looked like shoe polish on my hair. The shade range is good for those who need to find a perfect match . I did not notice a scent so it will not cause a problem for people with asthma or allergies. It was not for me. I prefer a natural product that blends with my hair coloring.

Rated 5 out of 5 by adriennemjasperpere_81 from Definitely worth it to cover or change your hair c It is very compact and easy to use. The shade was what I wanted for a different color for the day. It covered my grays perfectly. The scent was very light versus actual hair dye. The texture for the spray was not noticeable.

Rated 4 out of 5 by KristinH from Great job covering gray The shade was very close to my current hair color so did a decent job blending. The application itself was easy and worked well. I don't have a ton of gray so im not sure I'd use this frequently but it would work great if that's what your looking for.

Rated 5 out of 5 by ronnie1111_845 from My new Must have L'oreal and influenster send me this product in exchange for my honest review. This was the first time I ever tried it and as you can see from the before picture I really needed to use it. I know I shouldn't wait this long to see my hair stylist but has been busy. So this is where this product comes in handy. I literally held at about 4 in away from my hair. And quickly sprayed it for maybe 3 seconds. That's all it took! So it's really great for a night out. It washes off the next day. I'll definitely be keeping this in my cabinet.

Rated 3 out of 5 by hazelhoney_6996 from Perfect to cover grays in between touch ups I like using this product as a woman of a certain age when ther'sno time for a root touch-up. This product effectively covers grays and stays on your hair until you wash it out. Pro tip, spray, and let it dry before adding anything else. Otherwise, it won't stay. I didn't detect any noticeable scent to it, which is great, and it didn't bleed on my clothes, but again, that is once it's completely dry, which I like to give at least 2 minutes. Whether your hair is straight or curly, I will always keep this on hand. It's a no-brainer pickup.

Rated 5 out of 5 by IdahoT from Please include sunscreen in product! Both my mom and I think this is a great product. Please make this with SPF - so many women with thinning hair could really benefit from that! I cannot find a scalp sunscreen that is also tinted.

Rated 5 out of 5 by robynwb75c_8867 from Great at Hiding Roots and Grays This is great for touching ups until I have time to get to the salon. So easy to use and hides my roots completely. I run my hands through my hair a lot too and it doesn’t get all over my hands like some of the other root touch-ups do.

Rated 4 out of 5 by kellys742_7449 from Good Coverage L'Oréal makes great products, so I was intrigued by the opportunity to try the Magic Root Cover-up from them. It comes in a convenient spray can for easy application. It didn't have much of a scent that I noticed. The shade was not exact unfortunately but it does have great coverage. The only con I have is that the spray doesn't come out in consistent amounts. You have to be careful with that but otherwise it's a good product.

Rated 4 out of 5 by christinaw351c_8427 from Covers well, but you have to spray the right spots While spraying on it goes on like a hairspray. The coverage is very good, if you spray the right spots. Once sprayed on you have to let it sit for a minute. Afterwards it felt like a dry shampoo, so I rubbed it into my scalp and used it as such. When you touch it, it does transfer onto your hands, so you don't want to touch your hair too much. But it washes off easily. I have used it a couple more times because the shade is very close to my natural color.

If you’re looking for a quick fix to cover gray roots or hair regrowth between color appointments, L’Oréal Magic Root Cover Up is one of the best options out there.

Rated 5 out of 5 by MelonieB from Quick and easy! Perfect for in between salon or root touch ups! Also if you have any thinning hair, just spray and go! Last till your next shampoo. Scent isn't overwhelming, and price is about average what other brands cost. Packaging is just the right size and color match is easy to find. Definitely my go to product for root touch ups, have already purchased several cans to have on hand! Ingredients aren't too crazy, applies easier and faster than powder root touch up products.

Rated 4 out of 5 by camillek29_1158 from Easy application, good shade match but rubs off. Magic root cover up does a great job covering greys. The medium brown was a close shade match to my natural hair color and also blended well with my colored hair. I have a habit of touching my hair during the day so one downside is the product rubbing off on my hands.

Rated 5 out of 5 by nicoled773_9059 from A lifesaver between salon visits L’Oréal Magic Root Cover Up has become my go-to product for quick and easy touch-ups. It’s perfect for covering grays and blending roots when I don’t have time (or the budget!) to get to the salon. The spray nozzle gives great control, so it doesn’t get messy, and it dries super quickly without feeling sticky or stiff. The color matches beautifully and looks very natural — no weird shine or chalky look. It also lasts until you shampoo, which is exactly what I need for busy weeks. It’s lightweight, doesn’t weigh my hair down, and gives me that fresh hair color confidence in literally seconds. If you need an affordable and foolproof root touch-up, this is a must-have!

It says no smudging and it definitely smudges. I sweat a lot in the summer time it’s becomes a hassle to constantly color / dye my hair.. thought this would have been a great change but definitely not…. It was messy… don’t recommend if you sweat from your scalp…

Rated 3 out of 5 by tagurit_6679 from Not for me I wanted to like this product because it’s so convenient, but unfortunately, it just didn’t work for me. While the one positive is that it is very easy to use , quick spray and you're done, the results left a lot to be desired. The formula made my hair feel stiff and fuzzy, which made it hard to style afterward. I also noticed that overspray got on my forehead and if I touched my hair or ran a brush through it it would rub off. It just didn’t blend in naturally or feel good in my hair. This might work better for others with different hair types or styling needs, but for me, the texture and messiness outweighed the convenience.
