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 - 8 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 - 2 years 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!

    Quick and Easy Root Touch-Up

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This root cover-up spray is easy to use and convenient for covering roots between hair color appointments. The black color helps blend the roots with my hair, and the spray is quick to apply. I like that it is a practical option for refreshing my hair color without dyeing my entire head. It is a useful product to keep on hand for quick touch-ups.

    Awesome touch up

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great touch up product! When you have grays popping through before your next salon (or home) root touch up, this product is for you! It lasts until your next wash, completely covers gray hair, drys quickly, leaves no sticky residue and it comes in a simple to use spray can. The can is designed to spray directly onto your desired area, without overspray. The package is compact enough to travel with you. The before and after photos show the magic!

    Does the job

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Magic root cover up does exactly what it is supposed to do. It covers your roots and blends them into your black hair like you just had your hair freshly done. The reason I’m giving three stars is because you must not touch your hair at all when you are using this product. It bleeds so much. On your your hands. Your clothes. Your bed. Absolutely everywhere.

    The coverage 100 the transfer 0

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was genuinely impressed with how beautifully the L’Oreal Mac chic root cover up touch spray covered my visible scalp and roots, especially when applied to freshly washed air-dried hair. The coverage looked natural, blended beautifully with my hair, and held up very well indoors. Unfortunately, the staying power was disappointing, and the heat the product actually ran down my face. It also transferred onto my baseball cap, clothing, and pillowcase. I noticed that touching or scratching my scalp caused the product to flake off and collect underneath my fingernails. I really wanted to love this product because the initial results are fantastic, and the difference in coverage was immediately noticeable. However, a touch up spray needs to withstand everyday activities without constantly transferring or coming off. Overall, excellent coverage, but disappointing durability. I would consider using it again for short indoor occasion, but I would not trust it in hot weather or fall for in all weather wear day

    Protect face and clothes to hide annoying grays

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Magic root spray in Medium Brown is a great way to make those crazy gray hairs go away! First, prepare hair as you normally would...then shake bottle well. Put a towel around your shoulders so you don't get drops of the spray on your clothes. Spray the grass without getting it on your face. If you do, wipe off with a warm washcloth

    Quick and Easy Root Touch-Up for Dark Brown Hair! 🤎

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the idea of having a quick and convenient solution for covering up visible roots between hair appointments! Magic Root Root Cover Up in Dark Brown is a great option for refreshing your look without having to commit to a full hair color treatment. The spray format makes it easy to target the roots and blend them into the rest of your hair. I especially like how convenient a root cover-up can be when you want your hair to look more polished for everyday activities or last-minute plans. The dark brown shade is a great choice for brunettes looking to maintain a more even-looking hair color between touch-ups. It’s also easy to keep on hand for those days when you want a quick refresh. Overall, this is a practical beauty product for anyone looking for an easy root-concealing option at home!
