Style Edit Auburn/Red Root Concealer Touch Up Spray (Multiple Colors Available) - Instantly Covers Greys And Roots - Professional Salon Quality Grays Cover Up Hair Products for Women Auburn Red 2 Ounce

This product is a great time saver for root conceal, especially around the temples. I normally don't use it on the top of my head for several reasons: 1) I can't see the top of my head 2) when someone tall comes up to me, I make sure they can't see the top of my head. I don't understand how people can go five weeks without coloring? My hairs grow out over night and I swear if I don't dye my hair every two weeks, it looks horrible but dye is very taxing on the hair and my scalp has taken to breaking out in reddened patches from over-use of dyes. My skin is already very allergic and sensitized and my doctor said "no" to continued dying so I have to rely on Style Edit to save my self-esteem. Seriously, this product is what I call an "airbrush in a can". It does take a lot of practice to get used to it. Handy materials to have before you start: 10x magnifying mirror with a task light or lamp above it, or other good lighting; rubber gloves; sturdy paper towels with "quilted" design; moisturizer; cotton swabs; hand mirror to look at your profile in another mirror; a toothpick (optional). The magnify mirror with good lighting is essential if you are using this product around your temples. If you just spray-blast it on your head/temples, you will leave tell-tale borders along your temples and it will look very, very, weird; not to mention a giant black or dark brown blast of dye on your skin and people will stare at you (I've learned the hard way). The rubber gloves are essential when you go to wipe off the excess, unless you don't mind the product getting on your hand and under your fingernails. I'm cheap, so I use one strip of paper towel, fold it, flip it over and use again and the glove prevents my hand from staining. I only use one glove on my dominant hand, that's all you need. The sturdy quilted paper towel is vital for wiping off the over spray on your skin- do not use tissue paper, it will break up and disintegrate in your hair and make a big mess. I use Kirland (Costco) brand paper towel rolls but you can use Bounty quilted or some other "cloth-like" paper towel. Moisturizer makes it easier to wipe off the over-spray from your forehead or temple. Cotton swabs are great for rubbing away the mistakes when you press too hard and blast your scalp or temple with too much spray. It's easier to use the swab instead of paper towel for spot-fixes to remove localized areas of too much spray. A hand mirror is a good reality check. After you Style Edit your hair, look at your profile in the mirror to make sure the hairline looks "natural". The side of your face is not the same view you see in the mirror if you are staring straight on. A toothpick with a flat end is a great tool to keep in your pocket in case your scalp or head itches. Do not scratch with your fingers, you will end up with Style Edit under your finger nails! I use black, so it looks gross when I get it under my nails. I used to carry around an orange stick in my pocket but it was too long and pointy. Here's how I do it: - put moisturizer around your temples and forehead. - shake Style Edit before using. - apply GENTLE pressure on button...this is the hardest part, as the product tends to blast out with too much pressure. If it does blast out, no fear, just leave it until it dries. - cover all your grays with a FINE mist of this amazing product. Do not blast down on the button - again, this is the hardest part to master. - let it dry, about ten minutes, more if you have time. - put on a glove on your dominant hand. - for temples, use a down-ward swipe with a strip of sturdy paper towel to take the over-spray off your skin. Don't rub upwards on the temples, use one motion downward only. Too vigorous of a rub will remove product from your hair and you'll have to repeat the process. - for forehead, use same technique but swipe the paper towel upward to get rid of over-spray as this is the way my hair grows. - to correct blasts of concentrated color, I remove gently with a cotton swab on the scalp after it has dried. You can experiment while it's still wet but I've found that it rubs the color off the surrounding hair as well. Voila! You are done! And yes, if you don't wash your hair, it may stain your pillows. I live in a humid environment and have to wash my hair daily. I find that Style Edit works best on clean hair and dry scalp. It seems like a lot of steps, but once you get the technique down, it only takes about 10-12 minutes or less. I've also tried another brand called Gray Away from Wal-Mart for $9.99 but found Style Edit's pigments are finer and lasts longer throughout the day.

I'm a brunette and have regular salon colorings every 6 weeks. Recently, my hair's been growing faster than usual so my roots (which are now grey in places) are showing up sooner than my next appoinment. A friend had been using this and I couldn't even tell she had it in her hair so I was super impressed. She gave me a can for my birthday which went to use a couple weeks later and I LOVED it!! It covers your greys without looking sticky or fake and everyone I showed was very impressed. The only trick is learning how to apply it. The can is only about 5 or 6 inches tall, but it's jam-packed with aerosol so it packs quite a punch.... which means you need to start with an area that is not directly next to your face or you'll end up with what appears to be a blast of spray paint. But the good news is that it wipes off easily with a wet wash cloth or tissue (trust me - I did this when I first got it). I start with the roots at my side part, and while still spraying, I move slowly to the hairline at my temples and widow's peak. After the first spray or two you'll get the hang of it. Let it dry completely before touching it. I apply mine after I'm done styling my hair and then blast the sprayed areas with a hair dryer to speed up the drying process. It really doesn't take that long to dry, but if you're impatient or in a hurry like I usually am, the hair dryer method works great. I usually change into my work clothes after styling my hair and I haven't had any issues w/ this coming off on my clothes. I also haven't had any issues of it rubbing off on my white pillow cases at night so I was pretty impressed. Not sure how it stands up to sweat/humidity so you might want to test it before going out to make sure there isn't any color runoff (if you're using one of the brown shades). All in all this is a GREAT product and I would definitely recommend it for hiding the greys between colorings. I already bought cans for my friends and they were thrilled. :)

My favorite go to for in between color appointments. This product is easy to use, covers grey's instantly, and lasts until you wash your hair. It does not change the texture of your hair which is wonderful. It is pricey but it lasts a long time. It's worth the money for grey's to go away. If you're in between-Medium and Light Brown-go for the Light Brown.

These work well but way over priced.

Delivered on time. Excellent product. Blends in easily and provides excellent coverage.

Love this product! This product is simple to use and keeps my hair looking nice and fresh until my next hair appointment. A Game Changer!

Works great for roots and also thinning hair areas

I have light brown hair, but as I’ve gotten older, I started highlighting it to cover up the little bit of gray and I’m getting around my face. I tried using other brands, but it look like I was literally spraying spray paint on my hair and it just didn’t look natural. So I went searching on the Internet for a high-quality root touchup spray and this is what came up and it was on Amazon and it seems expensive because it’s $35 but compared to the bottles you get at the grocery store that are about 10 and maybe 6 inches tall. This bottle is twice that size and probably three times as thick, the bottle is like the size of a hairspray bottle. It’s pretty big , it’ll last you a while depending on how often you use it of course. But the best thing about it is that if you find the right shade for me, dark blonde work the best to cover up my light brown to medium brown roots when I had gray coming in, you just shake it and spray it and the great thing is is that it won’t wear off during the day, it won’t wear off on your pillowcases at night. It won’t come out until you wash your hair. So you have 24 seven coverage until you literally wash it out of your head. The only downside I’ve had and I’ve bought five of these cans so far these nozzles will get stuck and you’ll have almost a full can of spray and think “oh my gosh this is all going to waste now nothing is coming out “you just have to run the nozzle under some warm water and get a little safety pan and just stick it in that little nozzle and unclog it and usually you can get it working again. That’s what’s worked for me. I hope they don’t make me change this because it’s such an amazing product but spray nozzles get clogged no matter what the product is but I don’t use mine every day mine actually like after I get my hair done I don’t use it for five weeks or so so it sits for a while sometimes in between us so I think that’s why a couple of my bottles have gotten clogged, but the clog is really easy to take care of and it’s worth The trouble that really isn’t any major trouble at all. I think my first can last me three months four months because I would just use it around my hairline and that was it and it really is the best root coverage I’ve ever ever tried and I’ve tried many of them not just at the grocery store but at the beauty supply place and this is the most natural looking coverage.
