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.] It is hard to believe that such great coverage can be offered in a spray can and cover these nasty grey hairs without the hassle of having to dye my hair. Offers a light fragrencethat is not overbearing. Colors is natural and easy yo match to existing hair color.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have naturally dark blond hair with highlights that my hair dresser refreshes every 8 weeks. During the 8 weeks, my grey hair, which is mostly in my temples, shine through. I tried covering up the grey with the L’Oreal Magic Root Cover up in the shade Dark Blond and it was the absolute correct shade and covered up my grey hair perfectly. It was easy to use and comes packaged in a pretty teal container. I sprayed on the cover up and brushed it through with a clean toothbrush and it looks so natural. I didn’t notice an unpleasant scent while spraying this product. I have posted before and after pictures of my grey so you can see how well this product works. My hair feels natural to the touch as silky as usual. I love every thing about this product and highly recommend it. My only recommendation is to make this product in a longer temporary version. I have straight, fine hair and wash it every day and it would be nice if this product lasted more than one wash.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you need to cover your greys in a pinch with something you can just wash out, I would give this a try. Spray carefully to avoid getting it everywhere. The only thing I might add is if your hair is jet black this black color may be a little lighter.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Magic root was good at covering my grays. The packaging was nice, color of the bottle was nice. The application was a little hard because too much color got on my scalp even though it comes with a very small spray tip. All in all I would probably use it again.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Magic route by L’Oreal was a very good product. One spray cover my grays immediately it smells very well. The packaging was very small and easy to store without a bulky container . Once I sprayed the spray match my hair color perfectly what I really enjoyed about the product is that it didn’t leave a dry bridle film or any or flaky residue I recommend this product for anyone looking for a quick and easy cover-up and for the price it’s well worth it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] L’Oréal Paris magic root coverup dark brown spray is ok in my opinion. It does a great job of covering the gray however it leaves my hair feeling sticky and stiff which feels horrible. I hate the way it makes my hair feeling sticky but I love the gray coverage. I would not recommend this to anyone unless you have no other choice and need your gray covered fast.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This root cover has saved me in between hair appointments. It is very easy to use, packaging is very friendly. I give it a little bit of a shake and hold it about 6 inches away from my hair and spray, I then take a fine comb to come out a little bit. To get on either side of my part I just put my hand over one side and spray the other. I will say you need to be careful with overspray, it’s easy to do and will leave little brown dots. But this has become a new staple in my routine. Shade match was perfect, no sent to deal with. Coverage is perfect.

Poorly Designed Applicator With Mediocre Results

princessbt_4279 - 3 days ago
originally posted on influenster.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The L’Oreal Magic Root Cover Up comes in a nice compact container that is easy to hold while applying. I do not care for the tip applicator where the color dispenses at. It is flimsy plastic that feels like it will break easily, reminiscent of a cheap, poorly designed product. The applicator also does not make it easy to apply where the product is needed on the roots. I found after trying to spray some on the roots that it did not go on the area I was aiming for regularly. The color is much darker than what is shown on the bottle, that it does not even come close. I would not use this product again for my roots. The regular kits are much better and more cost effective.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Color matches great. I love the idea of a root cover up in between full color applications . Although the spray can is easy to use (just pop the top off and spray), my only issue is it comes out as a powerful spray. I tried to use on my edges where I have grey hairs, but this is not ideal use in this location. 1) because of the powerful spray , it’s hard to keep the color just in that location without getting on forehead. Also, 2) I feel like I attempted more than once to spray these hairs and I couldn’t quite get good coverage. Overall, great concept, color matched great, but power of spray isn’t ideal.
