L'Oreal ParisHair Color Root Cover Up Hair Dye Dark Blonde 2 Ounce (Pack of 2) (Packaging May Vary)

First my disclosure, I received this product from L’Oréal Paris, an opportunity given to me through BzzAgent which I am very thankful for. This is my honest and unbiased review of L’Oréal Paris Root Cover Up in Dark Brown. My results are my own and may be different depending on the person.As a busy, mom, woman, college student, daughter, human there is either never enough time or money to get things done. When it comes to the topic of hair coloring both time and money apply. As I get older I notice that my once Raven colored hair now has sprinkles of “natural glitter” around my temples. I have my very own “silver lining”. Okay, to be honest I am lucky enough where my white, they skipped grey those darn overachieving follicles, are at my temples and bang area mostly. Those that make it to the back of my head are covered with a layer of color that is not white, grey, or silver. My natural center part is still full of color. So I can get away with not coloring my hair for a bit longer then let’s say my older sister. This product was perfect for me.Having this product means that shelling out $20 for two boxes of hair dye can wait a bit longer and that $20 can go towards something else, like my daughter’s 31-day bus pass that she uses to get to school. Not so much now since it is summer but you get the idea. As a parent we make sacrifices on our own wants so our children can have what they need, sometimes their wants also. This is why the new L’Oréal Paris Root Cover Up is so fantastic. It is wallet friendly, quick, and a mom’s new tool in her beauty arsenal.This little blue canister of magic contain 2.0 oz (57g) of fast drying, root covering, no more grey/white awesomeness. Are you sensing that I love this product, because that is the vibe I want to give off. I don’t want to give off the idea that this is some sort of permanent hair coloring in a can. No, this is temporary and will wash out after a few shampoos. You are still going to need to color your hair eventually but it will be when you have both the time and money to do it. This is a quick fix, a much needed life hack that makes it life a little bit easier for you.This product come in 6 colors; black, dark brown, light to medium brown, red, dark blonde, and light to medium blonde. I recently watched a woman review the product in red and she mentioned that not a lot of companies make this type of product in red. That is really cool and exciting if you have red hair. L’Oréal claims that this product is “3 seconds to flawless roots”. Now I did not time myself but I know that it took way longer than 3 seconds for me to cover my roots. This may be due to my inexperience with the product and I kind of scared to actually press the button. It’s a new product that I have never use and I was learning how to maneuver it, my daughter thought I was hilarious while in the act of “root covering”.I shook the product, held it from the target a good 4-6 inches and slowly depressed the button. A cold burst of colored product shot out. I repeated the process 2 more times in the same area, put the product down and inspected the area only to find matte dark brown color along with my natural and colored hair. I was happy, very happy. Okay, so the fact that it is matte is not so great, I would have loved it if the product were a shiny like hair is normally, but since it is at the roots I don’t think it really matters to me. There were no drips for me but when I searched for reviews on this product I read and saw that some women experience product dripping while some did not. I think it has to do with how you spray the product. If you purchase this product try quick short bursts, you can always add more, you can’t take off less.I also found that this product dries quickly which is very nice. I do not mean immediate though, so if you touch the area right after you spray it your fingers will come away with color. More like 30 seconds, and the color will not rub of. Also, I was able to brush through my hair after I applied this product. If any of you have ever applied that can of hair color that is sold during Halloween you know that those products are more like colored hairspray. You cannot get your fingers through your hair let alone a brush. This product is not like that at all. I was able to brush through it and my hair fell naturally into place. I had to check if there were any more visible white hairs that needed to be covered. There were none.Overall, this product is a good investment. Like I stated previously it is a much needed life hack that needs to find its place in the lives of busy women, but I think anyone male or female could use this. There has to be some men out there who want to cover some grey/white hair put do not want to actually dye their hair. I would recommend this product to anyone who wants a temporary reprieve from eyeing their “glittering” hair in the mirror but does not have the time or the funds for that project. Plus, you do not have to use the entire canister of product to cover your roots. I may go out tonight to purchase a canister for my sister to make her life a bit less hectic as well. It will be the gift that keeps on giving.

This is GENIUS product!!! I love it and it's so easy to use. The pricing is certainly affordable. If you have roots that need touched up, it covers gray immediately. I was able to do the front and sides of my hair and it's perfect!

For about 3 years, I've been using a root cover spray by the brand Ion, after having tried several brands. But I wasn't 100% happy with Ion because of two issues: (1) even if I just gently touch my hair, color transfers to my hand; (2) despite that, it was difficult to wash out, in addition to shampoo, I have to use oil like grapeseed or almond to fully remove the color from my hair.So, I decided to try this brand and I like it. I can wash it out with just shampoo. The color doesn't transfer as easily as the Ion, and when it does, the color is minimal. I feel comfortable enough with it to use it to darken up the scalp at the front of my head where my bangs are a bit thin. I will repurchase!Suggestion: if you are worried about color transfer, use hair spray over it to seal it. For best results, the hair spray should be aerosol and quick drying. Make sure you apply the hair spray from a distance so that you aren't wetting the root spray which will just create a chunky runny mess.

I love this stuff! You can literally buy two more weeks until you get your hair colored! It’s fast and simple to use and the color turned out to be perfect for me! I have platinum ashy blond hair with dark ash blond roots and this color matches!

When you only have 2 tiny areas of gray, this is so convenient for covering it up, especially since I have dark brown hair so otherwise the gray sticks out. Others may not notice but it makes me happy to cover it up.

I have dark brown hair that is gray at my temples. I used the Medium Brown color. For brunettes: You need to shield every part of your face except the part you want painted...otherwise you will look like you did a mud run. Annoying: If you shield your face you can't see where you are spraying. I think a second person would make things easier.Even shielding my face this stuff splattered and didn't go on evenly. Some grays did not get coverage while parts of my scalp were black. I spent a solid 15 minutes trying to even this out and took off a significant amount of color. I included a pic after I sprayed as well as a after I cleaned up.At least it comes off easy with a wet wipe, but it does get EVERYWHERE. (I live in Seattle, the city of rain and I wonder what would happen to me if caught in a downpour...) It will also come off on your pillow.It works for around the face, but for the rest of your scalp not much to be done. It also leaves your roots feeling grimy until you wash. It's not terrible, but is it worth avoiding dye? My official analysis is: Mid

Great coverage and easy to apply, but be careful spraying too much. Also don't touch your hair, it will get all over your hands! I apply hairspray to lock in the color so not much comes off.

The first can I ordered "squirted" a stream instead of spraying. I used it anyway, but it was difficult. Then a friend said theirs doesn't do that, so I ordered another one and it sprayed nicely. So, if it just squirts, send it back and try another one! Because it really does work on thin hair areas and on gray that's growing out. Cover your sink area, put a towel around your shoulders, and shove your bathroom rug out of the way of possible wayward bits of color. This stuff stays on, and that includes anything you accidentally spray. I got medium brown, and it's a bit darker than I thought it would be, but I can deal with that. It will come off on your fingers if you rub it, but I haven't had it come off on pillows, etc. It makes your hair kind of matted feeling. But it's worth it to me. It looks perfectly natural and it stays in until you wash it out. I'm pretty sure getting stuck in the rain isn't going to make it run, either.
