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
  • 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 - 6 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 - 6 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 - 6 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 - 6 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 - 6 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.

Magic Root Cover Up – Light Brown

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] #MagicRootCoverUp #QuickFix #InfluensterReview I’ve been using the Magic Root Cover Up in Light Brown for a few weeks now, and it’s honestly such a game-changer when I’m between color appointments! As someone with light brown hair and some stubborn grays, this spray really helps keep my roots looking fresh with minimal effort. 🌀 What I love: The color blends really well — no weird orange or ashy tones, which can be a problem with other sprays. It dries quickly and doesn’t leave my hair stiff or crunchy. It’s perfect for on-the-go — just a few sprays and I feel way more put together. It washes out easily with shampoo, which I appreciate! ⚠️ Heads up: The spray can be a little messy if you’re not careful (definitely use a towel or hand to shield your face). On hot days or if I sweat, I’ve noticed slight transfer — not a dealbreaker, but something to be aware of. 📦 The can is small, but super portable — great for touch-ups in your bag or travel kit. Overall, I’d definitely recommend this to anyone who wants a quick and easy solution to cover grays or regrowth. It’s not a replacement for coloring, but it’s perfect for in-between maintenance. Would repurchase! ✔️

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very handy product to delay your hair dye day or to get a nice color if it faded on the sun. The nozzle is precise, but some spatters might travel far, so watch out your clothes and walls. The dark blonde color is very neutral and flattering. It looks really natural.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a product which takes a little bit of time to get used. I am a long time user of Root Coverup to get me through the weeks before my next color. I would recommend selecting one shade lighter because the color is much darker than expected. The medium brown shows up a dark brown. The color lasts much longer than cover up powder and will stay on until the next shampoo. Although it’s difficult to hit the right spots, i just spray a general area and use my fingers to spread it around before it dries.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] L'oreal Magic Root Cover Up does a great job of covering gray! It takes some practice to get it on just right. I added a video showing how the product goes on. To avoid having it on my face, I sprayed a little closer to my hair. I used my brush to help blend it in. It didn't take very long. I usually have roots within 2-3 weeks after coloring, and I don't want to color more often, so this is a great way to cover gray without having to dye so often. It lasted until I washed it again. It is a little on the messy side, but it is easy to wash off hands and surfaces should it end up on them. It has a pleasant scent that is very subtle. I will use this on a regular basis from now on.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this stuff! As a hairstylist, my clients are always asking of a good “in between services” touch up and I finally found a good one to share! I do suggest picking a shade lighter than you think you need-these always have a tendency to look darker. It’s easy to use-have to spray closer than it states, but the coverage is great! Little to no scent.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have one other bottle of this that I was finishing up. Love the way it covers my gray as it grows out, BUT it splattered … all over! I’ve ruined two shirts using this product. So, when I got the offer to try it again through Influenster, I grabbed it to see if it was just the can that I had purchased in the store. Nope. This one splatters as well. I have learned my lesson - I will continue to use this product, because I do like what it does, but I now wrap a large towel around my shoulders to catch any drips. Love the product (5 stars), but only gave 4 because of the drips.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product delivers coverage. I did not like how fast it sprays out & the product color was a lot darker than I imagined…considering I had asked for light brown coverage. It’s a very dark brown. The color will leave dark blotches on your scalp if you’re not careful when applying it to the root. The smell of the product is not bad. I don’t know that I would recommend this product as it is.
