There are advantages to getting older like wisdom and experience, however there are disadvantages like grey hair! At 38 I have had grey hair for many years now, as my husband loves to remind me. I have been covering my roots the old-fashioned way the only root concealer I know, dyeing my hair. I usually dye my hair every 6 to 8 weeks using a semi-permanent. It doesn’t take long before those greys are shining through. So I was happy to review the L’Oreal Magic Root Cover up for my readers. The bottle is small and light and can be purchased in different colors, I received the dark brown/black.

Hide Ugly Greys – Magic Root cover-up
There is nothing worse than getting your hair all done and then having someone who is let’s just say 6 foot 1 towering over you looking “down” on you and saying, “Look at all those grey hairs!” No matter how much I dye they always pop back up. I too notice them most when I’m doing my hair. I have found that the best root concealer I’ve used is L’Oreal Magic Root Cover Up.
Before Photo
It is kind of hard to see the grey in this photo but trust me they are here. I dyed my hair a good 3-4 weeks ago. Sometimes the grey just looks like the light is shining on my hair but no they are grey. So right after this photo, I took my can of L’Oreal Magic Root Cover up, shook it well, and lightly sprayed it over my part line. Here is my after photo.
After
Even though I continue to dye my hair I always have a can of the best root concealer on hand for quick cover up of those greys singing through. It is not something you should be using every day to cover your grey hair. If you have that many and want to cover them you should consider coloring your hair. This is a quick fix when you just don’t have time to color or change your style. The root concealer washes out with your next shampoo.
My tip is that you really should have your hair styled and use this just to cover up the greys you see. This is not something you spray all your roots with and then try to style your hair. It does have a unique feel to it, a little course, for lack of a better word. It is not noticeable and you will not be spraying your entire head just the roots at the crown of your head that are showing grey. Maybe a little further to cover some stray strands but you do not spray your entire head.
Due to the consistency of the product, I would suggest you do wash your hair the next day and do not try to re-style. Remember this is a quick fix, not a permanent one.
