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...

submitted by ejames - 6 years ago

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 - 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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is one of my go to gray coverage products. The spray on ease, pleasant scent and range of colors available all make it perfect for me while I’m in the process of growing my gray out . The size I do wish came in a slightly smaller travel friendly size but for now I am satisfied—

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have dark brown hair, and L’Oréal Magic Root Cover Up has been a great quick fix for hiding roots between coloring sessions. The color matches my natural shade really well, which makes the result look very natural. I also like the sleek packaging — it looks nice and is easy to hold. The scent is neutral for me, not too strong or unpleasant, which I appreciate. It’s also very easy to apply and dries quickly without making my hair feel sticky or heavy. The only downside is that it washes out quickly, so it’s definitely a temporary solution. But for a short-term touch-up, it does the job perfectly. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone with similar hair color looking for a quick and easy way to cover roots.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I will have to say the spray root color. The coverage is medium, the shade range is black so it’s very dark, the scent is not bad. I wish it really didn’t have much of a scent and the packaging is cute. Very simple and that’s what I like. It’s perfect for a quick gray cover-up. If you are going somewhere and you really didn’t have time to color your hair or maybe your appointment canceled or whatever it is it’s a perfect like grab and go situation

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The color on the can seemed like it would be a good match. The product sprays strong but does not have any bad smells. I really didn’t notice much of a change in root color, but it might have worked better if my roots were more gray. Seems like it would be good for darker hair.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The product was much easier to apply than I anticipated. It is somehow fairly precise but also has a nice spray to it to cover a good sized area naturally. And putting something against my hairline really helped prevent any dye from sticking to my forehead. The gray coverage is really great, too. I was absolutely waiting with my bathroom vent fan on for a terrible aerosol/dye smell but there was none. No nasty smell! I picked the same color as my hair dye, but I must have waited too long and my color had faded a bit. So now it looks like I have darker roots instead of gray. I will definitely try this again with a lighter shade and keep this one to use sooner after I re-dye my hair and as soon as the gray starts to grow out.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product to try and review from Influenster. I am shocked. I didn't expect it to actually look natural. The first picture is my normal hair with my roots coming in, which are a bit lighter and gray. The second picture is after using a small amount of the spray. You shake it well and spray it 6-8" from your hair and let it dry. Totally worked. I would so use this in between the times I get my hair done to get me through. I am really happy I tried this. The color matched perfect and literally no scent. I was skeptical but it's worth the money!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Getting older I started to see a lot of gray popping up in my hair. I thought I’d give this a try to try and cover them up. It worked good on covering the hairs up, I did learn not to hold it too close to your head, it’s very cold when it comes out and burns a little if you’re too close. Other than that it works great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an awesome spray. I wish I would have gotten a darker color though since my roots are darker but that's because I have highlights. It definitely worked in my grays and covered the silver. I would love to get the darker color as well to help with those darker areas. Little spray that you can use to touch up those grays.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Magic Root Cover Up, a great product for concealing your roots temporarily. It is not sticky and does not leave hair stiff. While the color is not an exact match it does the job. The sprayer takes a little practice to get used to but it works nicely and applies the coverage where you need it most. I will repurchase because it’s great to have on hand!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this in and was super excited to give it a try. My sparkles were shining, and my beloved stylist has moved many states away. I give it a go and follow the directions, I end up with brown sputter looking freckles on my face. It covers the gray beautifully but leaves my hair looking dull. I waited the alotted time and brushed it to see if that helped. Nope, it was still damp and caused more "freckles." I would use this in a pinch but do it before applying clothes and makeup

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was excited to try this product because I have gray hair coming in and I didn’t want to color my hair yet because I have too many things to do so this is a perfect solution to my problem I really wanted to like it and it does cover the grays, but, it also leaves a stiff, sticky residue on my hair. I had to go wash my hair again to get it all off. Product works as advertised but leaves a funky residue on the hair. Not for me.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very messy applying this, be careful where you spray at or you could stain stuff. It comes out sort of like a poof, so it does tend to get on your skin. It does wash off easy. The color matched my hair well but this didn't cover a single gray hair! I love the idea of this but it did nothing for my grays.
