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
  • 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 - 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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is perfect for me. It matches my shade perfectly. Since I do not like to color my hair as often as I should due to scalp sensitivity, this works like a charm! Since a little goes a long way, once you get the hang of spraying just right, it’s a great value. I didn’t think it had a bad scent, to me seemed like my other hair color or spray product. If you color or have grays, try it…..you will be glad you did.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] L’Oreal Paris Magic root cover-up temporarily covers your gray and white hairs at the hairline. I like what it is trying to accomplish— cover your grays and whites and it does the job…color match is good ….however, I feel like the spray bottle gets product all over no matter what angle I use to spray. There is like this cloud of product when I use it over my head, which is a bit alarming and therefore, I have been putting a towel around my shoulders before I use it . I wish there also was more product Itself volume wise in the spray canister.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product from influenster for my honest review. The apply process is fairly straightforward. My hair color is light brown but it was still a little too dark for my hair. It doesn’t really have a smell so that’s good. The nozzle is fairly easy to use. It just seemed to take a little longer than I thought it would to dry. I don’t like that I would have to use every day until I got my hair colored.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Magic root cover up spray works well and is easy to apply. It’s a little darker than I need, though. The color is dark blonde but it looks like a solid brown to me. My hair is dark blonde with highlights and lowlights. I’ll still buy it but will go with a shade or two lighter. The coverage is great and will cover roots until the next hair appointment. These root sprays are a lifesaver.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm obsessed with this Magic Root Cover Up spray from L'Oréal Paris! It's so easy to use and gives me instant results. I have dark hair, but I always seem to get gray roots showing up way too quickly. This spray is a lifesaver - it's like having a mini salon visit at home. The formula is lightweight and doesn't leave any residue or buildup. It's also really easy to apply - just spray it on and go! I've been using it for a few weeks now, and it's become a staple in my beauty routine. I love that it's available in different shades, so I can find the perfect match for my hair color. The black shade is perfect for covering up those pesky gray roots. Overall, I'm so impressed with this product. It's convenient, easy to use, and gives great results. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quick fix for gray roots. *Pros:* Easy to use, instant results, lightweight formula, available in different shades *Cons:* None!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This root cover up is easy to use. Shake up the bottle then hold it a few inches away from your roots and start to spray evenly. It’s not hard to do yourself but it’s easier with help for direct area coverage. The color is pretty close and blends well. Stays in good.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use my Magic Root cover up on a comb and comb it through my hair up and over my ears. This is the area that the grays come back the fastest for me. When my roots come in I use it for both areas. I am always afraid of seeing it drip down my face unknowingly but of course it does not happen. Great for a quick fix between salon visits.
