submitted by Caey - 1 year ago

Q: Hi- does this also paint your skin in addition to the hair? I'd like to consider this as a solution to grow out my gray without the horrible 'skunk' line, but I also don't want it to show up on my skin...

Q: Can I have my roots colored in a salon even though there is still some residue of this spray still in my hair?

submitted by Rosco63 - 8 years ago

  • A: My hair stylist has noticed some build up but it has not posed issues for me for her to continue dying on it. I try to get as much residue out as I can before seeing her though.

    submitted byHair Problems - 2 years ago

  • A: Hi Rosco63! Thank you for reaching out! Unless you have a lot of product build-up in your hair, you should be okay to visit the salon! For best results, we recommend washing out the product from your hair and waiting at least 24 hours before coloring! We hope this information is helpful!

Residue Galore with no Color Payoff!

I sprayed the blonde version into my hair and literally mother showed up. I had to shampoo my hair 4 times in order to get it all out. Would not recommend the light shades, can’t speak for the dark ones…

Messy and Yucky Texture

I followed directions and dislike how messy it can be especially if spraying close to ears as well as even when dry it gets on your nails. Also, I purchased medium brown which felt very dark. I definitely did not like the texture and thickness once dry on your hair, feels unnatural, but it does get rid of the grey. I think I’d rather wait until my next hair appointment.

BRIGHT ORANGE

ORANGE ALERT. I have been searching everywhere to find something that can cover brown roots that aren’t for grays so I thought I’d try this spray labeled as “for blondes with dark roots” I am more on the platinum side but even then, this is bright orange. Still deserves two stars because it does cover. I understand why it has good reviews for those with dark hair trying to cover light or grey roots. I considered trying regular blonde but that might be worse. I’ll have to keep searching bc it’s hard to find smth perfect. Also has a rly bad rotten smell. Don’t recommend in my specific case!

Disappointed

the item was used when I picked it up by drive up. then I tried to start a return and the app would not let me choose that item. I am very upset and feel like I have wasted $12. the seal was broken and there was brown marks like it was used on the cap.

worst product

Save your money and do not buy it. it didn't do anything. I felt like I am throwing a patch of black color on my hair. Worst product ever
Dayana
From L'OrealParisProductExpert team
Hi there! We are sorry to hear that Magic Root Cover Up did not meet your expectations and that you were unhappy with the color result. Magic Root Cover Up is designed as a temporary, lightweight root concealer spray intended to quickly blend grays between salon visits or regular colorings, rather than a permanent hair dye. Because application technique and shade matching can significantly impact the final look, we recommend ensuring it is sprayed lightly onto dry, styled hair from about 6 inches away.
