Awesome product!! LOVE IT!

6 years ago
Where has this been my entire life! I will never use anything else after having found this pen. The product is odorless, dries quickly and absolutely covers all my grays 100%. The brush concept ensures that the product does not go on clumpy on my hair. I prefer this over the spray as I can control what parts of my hair I can cover. I love this product so much that I hope L'Oreal will make this forever!!

Works but is too dark.

6 years ago
The brown is too dark. Please make a lighter color for those of us who have dark & grey roots with lighter-colored hair. Since this is not the right color for me, I won't buy it again - but if it's the right color for you, then you will probably love it. Good size for travel too.

I love it

For those moments when you need an immediate gray cover-up right at the roots—perhaps for a single event—this is the simplest solution. What I love most is the application process; it's so smooth and completely mess-free.

What a Wonderful Product!

a year ago
I love this product because my brown highlighted hair is greying in some spots, and I don't want to 100% cover up all the grey, but just some of it. (My salon colorist just wants to color all my grey hairs brown.). This brush lets me play around and experiment with where I want the darks/browns vs the grey or the highlights. It partially lasts through several washes which was a plus for me. I took off one star because the medium brown color is very dark, and you don't offer any lighter colors. I wish you had a light brown and a dark blonde shade too. I don't think any other company makes a product like this, a temporary color that doesn't need to be mixed and can be delicately applied.

Works better than I expected

2 years ago
I was skeptical about this because didn't know if it would stand out different to my hair color. I was amazed at how it blended in and covered the grey roots. This will definetly help stretch out my hair appointments longer. I am so excited!

SWorks great for darker colored hair

4 years ago
I purchased the lightest available color of Medium Brown. But it is still too dark as my hair is a light brown. It worked great but didn't match enough. I tried to use more sparingly but still too dark. Please make in lighter shades. But if you have darker hair I would highly recommend.

Need a Light Brown & Red Brown Option

I use your L’Oreal Excellence Creme 6RB Light Reddish Brown hair color. The medium brown pen is too dark to touch up my roots. Same with your touch up spray. Please offer better options for a wider range of your consumers. Thank you.

Application issues

4 years ago
I have purchased this a few times and I really like the product but more than once I have found the applicator does not work properly. I turn it many times and only receive a few applications from it. I am not sure if its not working properly or perhaps it has dried up inside? Nonetheless frustrating.

Horrible product

6 years ago
I bought this hoping for an easy root touch up. It was not a nice experience. Yes, it applies easily and without mess. Evidently, you're supposed to leave it on without washing it out of your hair. However, it made my hair extremely stiff. I don't want product just sitting on my hair, so I tried to wash it out. It finally came out after THREE WASHES. Never again.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Amazing coverup

6 years ago
This is by far the absolute best root touch up!!! I am the biggest fan. I genuinely dislike getting my roots done every 2 weeks, It drives me mad. My roots are very visible at 2 weeks. This is amazing, it covers up all of the shimmer from my root growth, I have so many different brand root cover up but this is the absolute best! Thank youuuu I am so happy

Applicator is a dud (apparently).

6 years ago
No matter how many times I click the applicator (50+?), I'm not getting any color! ???? Apart from that (not so small problem), this seems like a great idea for those of us who use semi-permanent haircolor and find the hair at our temples turning white between colorings.

Stains gray hair!

6 years ago
I am growing out my gray hair and have been using the spray to cover up the gray while it grows out (they dyed hair is dark brown). I purchased the Precision pen and tried it for the first time on Monday. I wash my hair no more than twice a week, and when I washed my hair this morning, it did not wash out completely. 4 months of growth down the drain if this doesn't eventually wash out. I do not recommend if you have decided to embrace your gray. I know the box is tiny, but there should be a warning that it might stain. If I wasn't trying to grow out my natural silver hair, I would have given this a better rating.
Would you purchase this again:No

No, I do not recommend this product.

Hi silverbee! We regret that you experienced difficulty washing MAGIC ROOT Precision, temporary gray concealer out of your hair. We recommend using a clarifying shampoo. It is temporary and will wash out! Thank you for reaching out with your concern.

So easy to use

7 years ago
I received this as a complimentary item to use and review. I love how easy this was to use. I often have to go a few days between when I need to touch up the color and when I actually have time to touch up the roots. This can be done on the fly with this product. I love that if I notice a gray spot after I've done my hair, I can just touch it up and it's not obvious.

Easy to use, looks natural, too!

I received the Precision Pen as part of a Vox Box review. I put off using it, because I was nervous about it. I had nothing to worry about. It is super easy to use and blend into your hair without staining your scalp at all. It washes out in your next shampoo. It goes on just as easy as your make-up. My only issue is that as a curly-girl, it doesn't fit into my usual routine. My curls are fragile, and I usually air-dry with minimal touching. However, on days when I blow-out my hair, I can use this to touch-up to hide my greys.

Easy to use!!

I received a free Root precision pen from Influenster. Unfortunately i have red hair and the dark brown on i received didnt match very well..but i did experiment with it and liked it alot. It was very easy to use. I thought it would drip all over the place but it didn't. Its quick and easy to use. Only thing was that once it dries if you like to play with your hair it will be stiff and sticky. Overall good value, hope they add more colors.

Great Coverage

7 years ago
First off I love the applicator brush, it really makes this a very quick and easy way to cover those pesky grays. The coverage is amazing. It did not transfer at all which is a huge plus. It blended great with the color of my hair as well. It worked better than I expected. I would recommend this to anyone who needs a quick and easy fix in between coloring. I received this product for free from Influenster for testing

It Works!!

I tried the L'Oreal Magic Root Precision Pen and I really liked it. I color my hair regularly and since the color is black stray grays and gray hair regrowth at the temple is a constant issue for me. The Magic root precision pen helped a lot with these issues in between colorings. If you follow the directions precisely the product is easy and quick to apply. The color was long lasting and did not come off during my day. I have already recommended to my friends. I received this product as a free complimentary trial from VoxBox and I have to say I was really impressed!

I got a free sample and tried it and found that it was easy to apply but didn't quite match my natural hair color. There wasn't a color any closer to match so that's why i only give 3 stars!! Love L'Oreal products and this one would be great for those that can find the right color for your hair!!

I received this product from Influenster for free. I tried it on my gray roots and I must say I love it! I have used a powder form of root cover in the past, which worked fine, but this L’Oréal Precision Pen works better in my opinion. It is easier to use and covers really well. I have already bought another one, just so I’ll have it when I need it. Go buy it and see for yourself!

Amazing

7 years ago
Once again I've received some amazing free products from Influenster to review, and I'm so excited about it! The Magic Root Precision Pen is perfect for covering those pesky grays. It's actually seems as though it was made for me! My hair grows very fast especially around the hairline around my face, but is also thinning in that area. Applying typical hairdye in those thinning areas is messy, stains my skin, I usually miss the strays and I don't always have the time or energy for a full dye application. The Precision Pen perfectly covers those difficult areas. Its very easy to use. I was able to get the strays and I didnt dye my skin in the process. It also was a perfect color match and washed out easily. I wish L'Oreal would've developed this pen along time ago. I'm a huge fan and highly recommend!

      1. Rotate bottom of concealer counter-clockwise 3-5 times to dispense a small amount of color onto brush. Tip- First use may require up to 20 full rotations for color to dispense.
      2. Lightly dab brush onto dry hair using gentle, swift strokes to build and blend in color. Tip: To avoid transfer to the scalp, gently pull hair away from the head as you brush.
      3. Let dry for 1 minute. Re-cap the brush
