Q: I color my hair dark red brown but it’s originally dark brown/black. Should I go with red or dark brown to touch up my grays? Thanks.

submitted by Caey - 13 days ago

  • A: Great question, Caey! Since your natural hair color is black and you are looking for a root touch-up, the L'Oréal Paris Magic Root Cover Up in the shade "Black" would likely be a better choice than a red shade.

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 - 7 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 - 9 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 - 7 years ago
  • A: It might depend on how thin you are, and the color. It can and does shade the scalp.

    submitted byHair Problems - 9 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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was gifted the L'Oreal Magic Root coverup to try. I have to say the coverage was very intense. It covered the roots very well. The problem is that the texture was very dry and to be honest it looked like shoe polish on my hair. The shade range is good for those who need to find a perfect match . I did not notice a scent so it will not cause a problem for people with asthma or allergies. It was not for me. I prefer a natural product that blends with my hair coloring.

Robynlee94 - 7 days ago, Verified purchaser
It has good coverage, but it doesn’t dry… It made my hair feel goofy no matter how much I brushed it… And anytime I would touch it to adjust my hair throughout the day. I’m left with dark brown, goop all over my hands… I took a shower and tried to shampoo it out and my hair still feels goofy so I’m hoping by the next shampoo my hair will start to feel normal again..

batoracle - 8 days ago, Verified purchaser
I would give this zero stars if I could. Not only was this not even close to red, it was extremely dark brown. Then when I went to brush my hair, it stained the white bristles of my hair brush, stained my hand, and stained my oink silicone shampoo brush. And it took shampooing my hair 3 times until the lather stopped coming out brown. This stuff is disgusting!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The shade was very close to my current hair color so did a decent job blending. The application itself was easy and worked well. I don't have a ton of gray so im not sure I'd use this frequently but it would work great if that's what your looking for.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] L'oreal and influenster send me this product in exchange for my honest review. This was the first time I ever tried it and as you can see from the before picture I really needed to use it. I know I shouldn't wait this long to see my hair stylist but has been busy. So this is where this product comes in handy. I literally held at about 4 in away from my hair. And quickly sprayed it for maybe 3 seconds. That's all it took! So it's really great for a night out. It washes off the next day. I'll definitely be keeping this in my cabinet.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like using this product as a woman of a certain age when ther'sno time for a root touch-up. This product effectively covers grays and stays on your hair until you wash it out. Pro tip, spray, and let it dry before adding anything else. Otherwise, it won't stay. I didn't detect any noticeable scent to it, which is great, and it didn't bleed on my clothes, but again, that is once it's completely dry, which I like to give at least 2 minutes. Whether your hair is straight or curly, I will always keep this on hand. It's a no-brainer pickup.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] L'Oréal makes great products, so I was intrigued by the opportunity to try the Magic Root Cover-up from them. It comes in a convenient spray can for easy application. It didn't have much of a scent that I noticed. The shade was not exact unfortunately but it does have great coverage. The only con I have is that the spray doesn't come out in consistent amounts. You have to be careful with that but otherwise it's a good product.

Covers well, but you have to spray the right spots

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] While spraying on it goes on like a hairspray. The coverage is very good, if you spray the right spots. Once sprayed on you have to let it sit for a minute. Afterwards it felt like a dry shampoo, so I rubbed it into my scalp and used it as such. When you touch it, it does transfer onto your hands, so you don't want to touch your hair too much. But it washes off easily. I have used it a couple more times because the shade is very close to my natural color.

Scent isn't overwhelming, and price is about average what other brands cost. Packaging is just the right size and color match is easy to find. Definitely my go to product for root touch ups, have already purchased several cans to have on hand! Ingredients aren't too crazy, applies easier and faster than powder root touch up products.
