If you touch your hair at all during the day, your fingers will turn black. This product is not effective. Will not reuse.
I'm sure if you have yellow hair, it's great

I am so disappointed in this product! I have red hair with a touch of copper in it and I was trying to get another week or so out of my salon color. I bought this in the red color hoping to help. Big mistake. I followed the instructions to a “T” and now my new growth/roots are mahogany. So much more noticeable now. I don’t have time to wash it out and redo my hair before a big family event. I am upset and even embarrassed. Will not buy again.
Not good for blonde hair

I used the light to medium blonde spray , my hair turned a very strange orange yellow color that looked terrible and very unnatural. The product also made my clean hair feel stiff and crunchy. I did not like this product and would not recommend it for blonde hair. I use Loreal hair dye color 9 to dye my hair and I never have a problem with the color, but this spray is not good.

Highly disappointed. This product left black hair dye on my fingertips. I know to let it set & dry but even after that, still had same issue. Sadly, I now know I have to buy the other brand.

I wanted to like this, but I bought red and it sprayed out brown. Now instead of gray/blond roots, I have dark brown roots.

I really like this product. However, I have purchased several cans and they all leak. The leaks stain any clothes they land on. Please work on the spray mechanism so that it does not leak. It is hard to see where the leak comes from. I just see the spots after I have sprayed on the product.
Not the color advertised.

Works great and it is easy to fix if there’s too much in one spot or on scalp.
Works great, avoid touching after spraying

It's meant to temporarily cover roots people, not dye your hair. It does that, allows me to go a bit longer between dyes. It appears other people are using it as hair dye. Just use a little on the parts to hide the growing grey.
Will need to buy a darker blonde color

I bought the light-to medium blonde. I am certainly not platinum. But it came out almost white. And I found it unhelpful with coverage. The texture was tacky. I had considered re-washing my hair. My hair color is a golden blonde with highlights. I have naturally ash/dark blonde hair. I am more likely to try a powdered version next. This is likely more helpful for brunettes.

Product transfers and stains everything! Irritates your scalp. The spray nozzle doesn’t spray out evenly and drips product all over your clothes. Waste of money!

Hey there! Thank you for your feedback on our Magic Root Cover Up, we are sad to hear that this did not meet your expectations, and you had some transfers. We understand that this can be frustrating, and we will share this information with our production team. We suggets for best results we recommend following thse steps: 1. Shake the can well. 2. Hold the can 4–6 inches from your hair. Spray the color onto new growth and partly through the length of the hair to blend in the color. Step 3. Comb and let dry for one minute. We hope you give it another try and love the results.
Thought it would work since my hair is thinning.

Great coverage and easy to apply, but be careful spraying too much. Also DONT touch your hair it will get all over your hands! I apply hairspray to lock in the color so not much comes off.

I use the red, which is a little darker than my exact shade of red, but works fine at covering my gray roots! I only need it at week 3 - 6 after my hairdresser does it. And since I usually wash it only once a week, it lasts quite a while.
Covers the gray....

Bought because of L’Oreal name. It does stay on- I washed my hair twice and some was still in hair. It does do the job it says it does- cover the gray roots. The medium brown was darker than expected. Will be returning as darker than expected and my hair stylist said for me not to use.
