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 - 6 years ago

    submitted byHair Problems - 7 months 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!

Q: Can the spray be used to conceal thin areas for someone experiencing hair loss/thinning in some spots? Natural hair color is off black.

submitted by Stylish Lady - 7 years ago
  • A: I was looking at this product to use instead of my Bumble and Bumble (colored) hair powder spray because I need a different color. Otherwise, I love the Bumble and Bumble and use it for my thinning hair. I do not know if this product does what B & B does, but I was hoping it did since B & B works WONDERS for thinning hair. It miraculously makes the hair look thicker and camoflauges the thinning areas completely. I lost a lot of hair the last few months due to medication (horrible shedding) so I understand exactly what you are asking. I am going to try this product because Target is wonderful about letting you return their products if they do not work. If this doesn't work, I will stick with my B & B. Good luck!

    submitted byCathee - 6 years ago
  • A: It might depend on how thin you are, and the color. It can and does shade the scalp.

    submitted byHair Problems - 7 months ago

Q: Does this dry out your hair I need it because I cannot dye my hair because it is too damaged.

submitted by Steph - 8 years ago
  • A: Hi Steph! The Root Cover Up Spray is not like a traditional haircolor and will not dry out the hair. It will wash out in one wash. Since you did mentioned that your hair is very dry and damaged, we recommend using the Total Repair 5 Damage Erasing Balm. It is a hair mask that can help add moisture to the hair and prevent breakage. We hope this helps!

    submitted byL'OrealParisProductExpert - 8 years ago
    Brand expert
  • A: I've been using this for years and I have not experienced drier hair. The texture of your hair feels worse when you have it in though. It feels almost like hair spray and can eventually become matted.

    submitted byHair Problems - 7 months ago

Q: Is the applicator narrow like a mini straw or does it spray a mist like hair spray?

submitted by Brenda - 8 years ago
  • A: I feels more like hair spray.

    submitted byHair Problems - 7 months ago
  • A: Hi Brenda! The Magic Root Cover Up is dispensed from a small pipette that helps pin point the application along the roots. For best results hold the can about 6 inches from the roots and keep the can moving so only a light layer of color is deposited evenly.

Covered perfectly when unable to get into the salon. Only issue is it does not dry, if you touch it the color comes off. You have to hit it with a blow dryer I realized.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I need root touch ups between times I color my hair and I wanted a spray that had multiple uses and was precise. I trust the L’Oréal brand and use their hair coloring and I really appreciate this magic root cover up spray. Just takes minutes and your gray is concealed until your next shampoo. Highly recommended.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great product received from Influenster in exchange for my thoughts. Seeing this out on shelves I never gave it consideration. For some reason it reminded me of the cheesy idea that comes to mind when I think of 90’s “ just for men “ products from back in the day, which I realize now those ideas on my part stemmed from youth. Now that I’m approaching those years and I’ve recently started getting gray hairs, the struggle to retain is real. Additionally I color and highlight my hair so when growth takes place it can noticeable but I don’t have the time to keep up. This is truly a solution. There’s a nozzle on the pump that lets you detail if necessary and not have it covering areas that weren’t intended. This buys you time until you can get in to be seen with your stylist or at home at your leisure. I wish it were a bigger can . I took the star off only because of the label. The can color is fantastic but the front label looks dated. Absolutely a recommendation.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received Magic Root Cover Up as a sample to review on Influenster. I am not a fan of this product. I don’t think I would even use it in a pinch. I don’t like the nozzle as it sprays out way too much product and it’s hard to disperse. On top of that you will color your scalp. I’m also not a fan of the scent. I would rather use a different type of spray nozzle or maybe even a colored hair powder. I would not recommend this product nor buy in the future.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received Magic Root Cover Up in Dark Brown from Influenster for free in exchange for my honest review. It arrived in a box and when taken out, ready to use. All you have to do is shake well and aim then spray. Application is so easy. Dries quickly so you can style your hair as usual with your hot tools. Then washes out when you wash your hair next. So simple and easy. The color match was perfect! There wasn’t any scent to it. I could find no faults. This is definitely my favorite. I’ll keep some of this around in between coloring my hair.

Grays “Magically” Disappear!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Magic Root is a quick, easy fix for covering your gray roots between hair coloring appointments. It dries quickly and lasts all day until your next shampoo. I found it is much more effective on the top of your head- less so around your temples. Be careful when spraying. Use short, quick sprays to avoid splatter or dripping. Also, buy a shade lighter than your natural hair color for the best blending. There is even enough in one can for multiple uses- making it much more cost effective. I definitely recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this product to make my hair look a little thicker in the part area, which it did. I was also looking for grey coverage when my roots grow in, but the product didn’t give great coverage. It blended the grey in, but didn’t cover fully cover. The shade was close to my color, but looked a bit chalky and dull. The nozzle made it easy to hit the spot you wanted the product to cover. Overall, I would use this product in a pinch, but there are better ones out there.

Good color match for my dark blonde hair

kab11_1997 - 5 days ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Normally when I get root sprays, I get the light brown color. But, since I previously tried the light brown in L'oreal Magic Root Cover Up and found it to be too dark for me, I decided to get the dark blonde this time. It's a much better match for my dark blonde hair. My natural hair color is light brown, but I have highlights and lowlights. I also have a lot of white at my part line, and you can see in the photo that this covers it up and blends fairly well. It's easy to spray and stays on all day.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Magic Root cover up in black. Has been a lifesaver between hair appointments. Give the can a shake and hold about 6 inches away from scalp and let the magic blend away your grays. I haven't noticed much of a scent but when spraying a small amount does end up on my hands,its easy to wash off .

Good coverage, some minor downfalls

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have gray hair coming in at my part line and used this product to cover the grays in between salon visits. I have tried many products on the market including powders, wands, and sprays from other brands. The L’Oréal version is one of the better options for coverage. It also transfers less than some of the other products I’ve tried. The downsides of this product are the messiness and lack of precision when applying, but it does remove easily if you overspray. I also find that it makes the texture of my hair/part feel kind of itchy and stiff, but I still use it because I’d rather deal with those minor concerns than have a gray streak in the middle o my hair.

It sprays on quickly and blends seamlessly with my hair, making it look freshly colored every time. The color is rich, doesn’t flake, and lasts until I shampoo it out. I also like that it’s easy to use and doesn’t make my hair feel stiff or sticky. It’s become a must‑have in my beauty routine for those in‑between days!

Easy way to cover the greys!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the ease of covering up these greys. I just section my hair and apply like hair spray. No odor, doesn't bleed, sticks to the spot you spray, but can be wiped away if you get over spray. This small bottle actually lasts for quite a while as the product will last until your next shampoo. If you have greys or thin hair I recommend this as it covers the Grey but blends very well with the rest of the hair. Many color choices makes it easy to find a shade match.
