Great color! Great product! GREAT buy!
3 days ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great product! Not only is it great for Grey coverage, I got a no fuss, no damage lived in rooted vibe! The shade of color was spot on, and it is really easy to apply! The thin nozzle makes it simple to get the product close to your scalp, without looking fake! A lot of my clients live this cover up for in-between appointments!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Worked well at first, but then the spray nozzle got clogged. I really didn't like the smell. In the color was much darker than I anticipated it. Luckily, it came out pretty quickly in the wash.

Not worth it.
4 days ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got the light brown and the color was close but still darker then my own hair. My hair is very thin and whispy and I thought this might give me a fuller look. The first problem is the spray nozzle. It's a tiny pointer, intended to be able to target smaller areas, I'm sure. However, the pressure behind the spray is so strong it still manages to splatter in the wrong areas. Despite aiming at the center of my head, it still got onto my forehead! The product itself is nothing more than temporary spray paint. If you have ever used the spray on Halloween hair dye stuff then you know what I'm talking about. It makes your hair hard and sticky! Honestly, if this were the only option I had and I needed more than just some 'filler', I'd go buy a wig! I would not purchase this again, and I would not recommend it. Gross.

Not for me

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So the color matches great but the sprayer is too strong. It needs a lighter sprayer for it to go otherwise it either gets everywhere or you have a giant circle on your scalp from the pigment

L’Oréal Cover Up is Temporary, it is not a permanent product
5 days ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] L’Oréal Root Cover Up has been an essential product personally for me helping me fight gray hair, it will work on my scalp, giving me a totally satisfactory coverage and repairing every strand of hair. I do the touch-ups every morning with my hair clean and dry I recommend 100% L’Oréal root cover up

Easy to use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Loved the product super easy to use! Hides gray hairs right away. Keep in mind when you remove it it can stain your towels, so wash your hair really well, it removes super easily, application couldn’t be simpler too and doesn’t change hairs texture. I’d recommend the product for sure

Great coverage for those stubborn grays!
5 days ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love having L’Oreal magic root cover up on hand. With 90% grays hair, my roots show quickly after coloring. This spray is a lifesaver when u don’t have time to dye my hair. It’s quick, easy to use, and perfect for coloring those stubborn grays in between colorings. I would definitely recommend this product to people that need a quick gray coverup.

Read and follow the directions!
6 days ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Okay first things first…READ THE DIRECTIONS!!
The first time I tried this I was convinced that it didn’t work. Turns out the problem was me and not the product. You’re supposed to spray it on and let it dry. Once I figured that out it worked.
Grays covered.
I’m a natural sandy brunette who loves darker hair in the fall but between my natural hair color and a little wisdom showing up uninvited I sometimes need a quick touch up between salon appointments.
I’ve tried several other products and brands but the results were very temporary. This one surprised me. I applied at night and woke up with coverage still intact. I also checked throughout the day and it was still there!! No disappearing acts, no surprise peekaboo moments just coverage that lasts.
Lesson learned: read the directions and it will work. Trying to comb or brush while wet will not. Just give it a minute for the product to do its thing. You’re welcome.

Covers

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First the product itself does exactly what it is intended for. If you’re covering a little gray on the go this is perfect. Leaves my hair a bit textured which is always ok.
The applicator is a bit messy. Leaving my hands a bit stained.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this L'Oreal Magic Root Cover Up! The black shade matches my hair perfectly. One quick spray and all my gray roots disappear - it looks natural and blends seamlessly. It doesn't leave my hair stiff or sticky, and it lasts until the next wash. Super easy to use and much cheaper than going to the salon. Must-have product!

Color didn’t really grab onto my grays
8 days ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s not difficult to use but didn’t seem to work for me or my husband. We both have thin hair and his is more wavy while mine is straight. The color got on my hand so I know it’s coming out but didn’t grab onto my hair. You can see a bit like hair a gray hair. No smell which is a huge plus. Dries quickly and isn’t messy. If the color stays the same worth it.

Perfect to hide those peaking greys
8 days ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Perfect roof cover up for those grays that wanna peak out. Not too sticky and blends in with your natural color, to me feels like a dry shampoo. I don’t notice it in my hair during the day as it literally has no scent either. Love this and will continue to use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Before and after pictures [after has the sticker over my face]. Seems to work ok, not sure I have the right color. You definitely need to protect clothing or surrounding surfaces when using to avoid staining. The claim of no sticky residue once dry seems fair but the hair texture is noticeably different.

Great for a quick touch up
8 days ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This magic root cover up spray is really convenient for covering gray hair. The black shade blends well with my hair and gives a nice quick coverage. It's easy to apply and dries up quite quickly without making the hair feel heavy. It's even ammonia free. It is easy to wash out with shampoo.

Covers up the grays quickly, is light, doesn’t leave a residue and does the job!
8 days ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was way better than expected. My hair is darker brown which makes the grays show up much quicker. Instead of having to go to the stylist every couple weeks, this is a great fix for a quick coverup. I also love that it doesn’t leave a brown residue on my skin and looks natural. The spray is light, and doesn’t feel heavy. Very impressed!

Great coverage!
9 days ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wanted to try this product for gray coverage and it worked really well! It was a great color match and after the first spray the grays all but disappeared. I also went through the hair and sprayed all along the perimeter and also worked it throughout since there were a decent amount of grays. All in all, the coverage was great and it was super easy to apply. Since I had to work it into the hair a bit, I did get some color on my hands, but it washed off pretty easily. I would definitely recommend this product for root touch up or for temporary gray coverage.

Perfect for when you are on the run to cover those roots
9 days ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Let me tell you about this product and how great it is especially if you are on the run. You got super busy and wasn't able to go to the salon to get your roots done, it's ok you can always use the magic root to cover those grays temporarily. And what's even better if you don't like the color you can always wash it off and It comes off. You can also use it for faux freckles. It blends perfectly covering them grays, and it feels great. It doesn't feel as if you have hairspray all hard. And it does not smell ugly either.

It covered his gray hair nicely and made his hair look darker and more even. It’s so amazing! I also liked that the scent isn’t too strong or overwhelming like regular hair dye. It’s quick , easy and convenient.

Lightly scented and quick touch up
10 days ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a nice product for a quick touch up for those in between salon visit days. My favorite part was it has almost zero scent. I am very sensitive to scents so this was a plus. Application takes a bit to get the hang of so it doesn’t look too spotty. Lasts throughout the day.

L’Oreal magic root cover-up in black is my go to for quick precise grey coverage that keeps me feeling younger and confident between coloring
10 days ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love L’Oreal magic root cover-up in black! My hair grows fast and those little gray hairs seemed to pop up overnight. This is my go to when I don’t have time to dye my hair. The precision nozzle makes it easy to target the Grace and one application does the job. Am I experienced the coverage hold up for about a week before I need to touch up? I keep two bottles on standby because a quick spray makes me feel like I’ve shaved 10 years off my look!

Covers well
11 days ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Magic root cover up was made to cover those Grey's in-between salon appointments and wash out after one wash. It does not have a strong chemical odor which I really appreciate. It goes on smoothly and feels nice and light, like nothings there. Just beware it does stain you hands if you put your ✋️ hand up by you hair. My daugthers wanted black hair for awhile now and with magic root being a one wash product I say its great if your thinking of dying you hair to try this out first. It gives you a chance to see if you like the color on you first before committing. I would recommend magic root touch up for touch up for grey's and also for testing hair colors out. It's a win win.

I thought I would give this a try and it did not disappoint. It’s fairly easy to use however it was a bit tricky getting the front of my crown line. I am sure I need some practice in this area.

Wanted to love it but fell short.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Application is easy, but product does not seem to coat evenly. I have a white hairline and this says dark blonde, it looks more like brown. And if it overlaps gets even darker. So if you’re expecting blonde this would ruin your day. Dries very quickly and wipes off the skin with ease. No offensive smell.

A quick fix
13 days ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you need a quick fix, this product might be just the thing. I don’t have a sensitive scalp - but when I used this product, my scalp turned red. Also, if you have thin hair, be prepared for your scalp to become heavily colored. The dye washed out of my hair more easily than it did from my scalp.

Root cover up

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Used the spray to cover my grey roots . Worked well very natural blend . And good coverage. Easy to wash out in the shower. No stickiness but does feel like a hair spray on hair and gives her volume when you spray the sections on top and sides . Very easy to apply just spray the root area section hair and I brush it a little so it blends into hair . Comes in many shades .
