It’s wonderful! I don’t know what the other reviewers experienced but it works great and I had no issues with mess or getting on my clothes. Might be the user? I dunno. But for me it worked great and i used it along with the concealer because it sprays very fast and strong so I didn’t like putting it too close to my eyes or face so I sprayed the top with this and used the concealer to touch up the front.

Jaime - 17 days ago, Verified purchaser
Do NOT buy this literal mess. I usually by the Tresemme one, but I couldn’t find it at Target so I grabbed this one. It is so messy. I scratched my head after about 4.5 hours of it being on and it’s all over my fingers and my desk at work. The spray is odd too and even though I was 6-8 inches away from my hair, it still went on like spray paint. I actually had to wipe some of it because it just blasted my scalp with a paint splotch. Skip this one. It’s awful

This product feels like dry shampoo. You’ll need to be careful not to spray it too close to the scalp. I’ve just tried it quickly in the mirror at home, so I’ll need to test it in outdoor weather and office lighting. But, so far so good. Quick and easy fix between color appointments. The first picture was from 1 weeks ago, second picture is with the spray on for comparison.

Decent coverage and helps stretch out time between touch ups but the applicator leaks. I’ve had it stain a bra, shirt and sink. Will also stain your skin. I think if it was in pump form it would be better.

It's great to cover up for me with hair thinning, but it's a bit messy if you run your fingers through your hair. I'm ok with small finger stains. This product has been helping my self-consciousness about my thinning hair.

If you need it, you need it. It will cover the grays, and your scalp. It's good for between coloring, and it stays on there! Unfortunately I need it frequently! It can be hard to wash out, and it will leave a smudge on your pillow or hat. I have dark brown hair with very white whites.

I bought this as a quick fix before I had my color hair appointment (one of the red colors). It was disgusting! The spray leaves your hair worse than straw, to the point you can't even run a brush through it. If you use your fingers to try to cover strands of hair, it turns your fingers and nail beds black and even with soap and water it's hard to get clean. You must be very precise by your ears or they'll also turn black. I couldn't wait to shower and shampoo this garbage out of my hair. It took two latherings to get it all out (hopefully) and in the process my hands and arms turned black from the water running down them. Luckily I found this all out on a trial run and not right before I was going out somewhere. You'd think with the L'Oreal product name on it, it would be much better. If I could have given it no stars, I would have. Don't waste your money or your hair on this product.

Be careful with this product. The nozzle shot all the black dye everywhere. It ruined a white shirt and was all over my vanity. I had given it another chance thinking maybe it was a faulty can but nope… it happened again. Sad because I wanted to like it.
