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 - 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 - 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.] Magic Root works well to cover grey, but the application can be messy. The product spatters and it takes quite a bit of practice to get it to look natural. I find that powder products are easier and more natural looking.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This really is my go-to product for in-between salon visits. The color matches me perfectly and it has decent staying power. I like the applicator, it deposits the right amount of product and covers just enough to look natural. It doesn’t have a strong scent like other products I’ve tried, which is nice.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Terrible! I have used this type of spray-on root cover up before, and this is the worst. The color was not light brown; it was dark brown. It comes out as a fast, direct spray rather than a mist, so it goes on too heavy. The color stains your scalp, creating a fake look. My hair felt stiff like I used too much hairspray. The only good thing is that it washes out when you shampoo.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Magic Root Cover Up gives great coverage of your gray hairs, especially if you have gray roots where there is a lot of area that needs coverage. This root coverage matched my dark brown hair perfectly and had no scent to it. The application was quick and easy, just lift the hair in the area that you want to apply and spray. Let the product sit for a minute before you brush your hair.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It definitely gives good coverage, but it does stain your skin and anything it comes into contact with. I applied it the night before, and the next day when I scratched the area, the color came off on my finger. It also makes your hair feel brittle. If you decide to use this, style your hair first, then apply.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I always keep a backup of L'Oreal's Root Cover Up — that's how much I love it. My natural hair is dark, so gray roots show up easily. This spray is perfect for quickly covering them before heading out, and it really helps stretch the time between color treatments. It has no noticeable smell, and I’ve never had issues with it rubbing off, even when I sweat. It dries fast, feels light, and blends naturally with my hair. The shade range is great — it’s easy to find a color that blends well. The slim, lightweight packaging also makes it easy to store or carry in a bag. Many other reviewers mention how easy it is to use and how well it washes out with shampoo. It’s truly a reliable, go-to product for anyone dealing with visible roots or grays.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great option rather than a whole dye job! The color matched and the coverage was good. The scent wasn't very good, but it applies pretty easily. It's great for hair emergencies, but I'm not sure about using on a regular basis.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like that it comes in a spray bottle and you use only what you need. However, the application is a bit tricky to get it in the right spot. The nozzle is a bit hard to operate to get the right amount. But coverage and color match is great as you can see from the before and after pictures.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am glad I had an opportunity to try this product as a mid-life woman who is graying. For me, this product is perfect for going out when I am uncolored. For today's use, I decided not to completely cover but instead go with a more natural look. The instant stain I do not appreciate, but overall Magic Root Cover Up serves the purpose.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely loved the L’Oréal Paris dark brown Magic Root Cover Up. I have a few gray hairs that I like to cover up. This product worked perfectly. It was easy to use. There wasn’t any harsh fumes and it dried quickly. It didn’t smudge when I touched my hair. I recommend this quick fix when you are looking to cover gray hairs.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I made sure to follow the instructions that were emailed to me. It's easy to use but I did not like the coloring floating around in the air after I sprayed it. It felt like I was using a tinted hairspray. Because my hands tend to sweat whenever I touched my hair, the color would transfer. The color match was very good. And from a distance, it's hard to tell that it is a temporary spray. I can see using this in a pinch when you need to cover roots. But have not had the time to either get to the salon or do it at home. It's not a product. I will reach for unless I absolutely have to.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you are looking for something in between salon visits this is the way to go. Just make sure to choose the correct shade for your hair. It was easy to apply as long as you followed the directions. It covered my gray spots on my scalp very well and I did not notice a scent. Just make sure to not get on clothing.
